Hello, Daniel.
The royal artillery is a very broad corps, ranging from being an air defence gunner, working with drones to working with missile systems. There's definitely lots to choose from, but depending on your choice of regiment and specific role will mean that your day to day life will vary significantly.
Because the roles are so diverse the qualifications will vary based on the role you choose but you'll have frequent opportunities to deploy on overseas exercises and operations, training in places like America, Germany and Kenya and have lots of time to participate in sports and adventure training.
If you are under 17 years 6 months you will attend Army Foundation College, as a Junior Solider, before starting Standard Entry training and since you are under 18, you will need parental consent to apply.
