Jazak'allah for your question. It is not halal, nor is it permissible to join the British Army, as they may engage in warfare against Muslims anywhere in the world, which maybe against your will. It would definetly be against the Will of Allah the Almighty, as He has stated ;

'' Then you are those, slaying one another and expelling a group of your people from their homeland, assisting them in sin and aggression.'' [Surah al Baqarah 2:85]

Joining the Army and engaging into warfare, against the East or Middle-East (as is usually the case) contravenes the principles contained in the Noble Qur'an, as well as the principals of Islam. It is therefore advisable that a person engages himself in some other profession, which does not involve in going against the will of Allah the Almighty.
