thanks for the replies guys, its just that some places i have been & so on and so forth, people have thought oh he's only 17 just make him do X or Y task but in myself i am a confident person and could do a better task than just X or Y something with a bit of thinking, and not treated like an utter idiot.
i doubt the problem will occur now but for others who may think this, i guess the best way for me to explain is e.g. say you had finished day one and most of the guys go down to NAAFI and you are left alone because they think we'll hang with our own age range, could make you feel a bit inferior.
i mean i doubt this would happen after reading through some stuff. But i have had some military experince and found that people do gel very quickly. But saying that in CIVVIE street this has happened a few times to me. where i have been left out due to my age.
so overall will you be made to be felt left out?
ANSWER: in the Royal Marines NO you will fit in fine, providing as some have said you are not a cocky T*T, but in civvie street its different and Yes you well could be at some stage.
thanks guys, and i hope this helps others that may of thought this once or twice.
regards
CJ
