Gap year in the Armed Forces

What does everyone think about this?

Not for me, I'd prefer to be on a beach in Thailand!!

I guess it depends if you want to pursue a career in the Armed forces then it might be a constructive idea. Also imagine there might be some benefits e.g. a stipend salary, food, accommodation and the chance to travel. I'm sure it will appeal to some people.

Hello everyone, I too am considering the gap year in the armed forces but do you think it is a good idea? I'm not sure what to do career wise and the army does seem to offer some good opportunities to learn new skills, travel and get paid. Also the £20,000 salary is also appealing. But is it worth doing do you think? Do you think the armed forces foundation scheme on offer will help with future job prospects? Thanks all.
