There is a general misconception in the Armed Forces that academic attainment is somehow related to rank or potential for commissioning. Not only this, but many people believe that there is a link between intelligence/intellectual capacity and rank. This is absolutely not the case.

I once worked with an LAC who had an Honours Degree in Computing - needles to say he moved on to better things. So just because you've got 2 A-Levels doesn't mean you should apply for a job that other people wrongly refer to as somehow 'better' tham what you are considering.

If you've decided what YOU want to do and you've researched the other possibilities, then my advice is to stick to what YOU want to do.

Good luck
