    Hello, thank you for your question.

    That's really exciting that you want to join the parachute regiment 😀

    You can apply from 15 years and 7 months, and then partake in activities from 15 years and 9 months so I would put your application through then. You can then go to Harrogate as a Junior Soldier (once you have completed your GCSEs) or wait and go to Catterick when you are 17 years and 6 months.

    If you are interested in going to Harrogate I would put in your application as soon as you can, intakes are in March and September - it is an amazing facility where you can really work on your fitness and continue education.

    Good luck with your application
