Come on lets keep this one going until we get a bite from a plod type!!
To the original poster, whatever floats your boat mate, one tip though, I am not sure how they dress it up at the careers office but it my best advice would be to go and do some work experience at your nearest base and just see what they do/don't do. Far be it from us to tell you that you are wrong to want to do it, after all someone has to!
Good luck
