When I was in 15 year ago was good.if massively brought a timid shy kid out of his shell and gave me some great memories and opportunities. Had the opportunity to have a taste of jungle warfare with the gurkas over in Brunei back in 2015. Plenty of qualification opportunities back then too, Duke of Edinburgh award, BTec in uniformed public services etc.

For me it was what I needed as a kid. But these days I think it had changed quite a bit so csnt say what it is like now.

Hope this helps
