Military has been his goal for a while but he was talking about A levels then RAF which I was just about happy with.
Now he's told us he's applied online to the army and already filled in a medical questionnaire and one stating he has no criminal records. He's very determined.
He's very bright and is predicted to get 7 & 8's in his GCSEs. He's talking about an armoured engineering role. I just feel like he's wasting his potential.
I'm just lost and trying to find some support from mums who have experienced this. Me and his dad are trying to be supportive but his age worries me and I'm so worried he will regret it.
