If you are between 16 and 17 years old, you'll enter the Army as a junior entry recruit. From here, you have two options to complete Phase 1 Training: the Army Foundation College (AFC) at Harrogate and the Army Training Regiment (ATR) at Bassingbourn. The AFC is a 42-week course for school-leavers, consisting of 23 weeks of military training, five on leadership and initiative training, and 14 on vocational skills. The ATR is a 20-week course focussing on core military and vocational skills with a great deal of sport and adventurous training.
Which one is the best for a 16 year old Army Foundation College or The ATR?
