Thanks all, I'm over overwhelmingly proud of him, he's on track to become an Officer in the next 5-6 years time He is at a college for potential officers currently, then the army will put him through university where he will train to become an engineer and then he will go to Sandhurst to complete his officer training

He is quite a handsome chap! but only 16 :lol:
