Joining the British army: what are the advantages of joing as an officer rather

[Im Bigger Than You]

than soldier? I would like to join the British army but I don't know what to join as or what regiment ect... any Ideas? I don't live in the UK but I go to a British school, so I will do GCSEs. would it be better to finish school and get A levels and go to join as Officer or should I leave school after my GCSEs and join as a Private?
