EU army

Compared to ? It's still the world's 4th most powerful armed force.

Do you have a source for that?

There's no scientific index for the measurement of such an attribute, but realistically given Britain's level of military development compared to other world nations the only true argument could be over whether it is infact still superior to the French armed forces.
So 4th or 5th.
Given the superior quality of Britain's non-combat sector and logistical network, as well as the quality of the equipment they use, I personally would rate Britain above France although the gap is narrowing.

I do not believe that the British will join the army. I think it is more likely that they quit Europe (maybe try to become 51st state of the US).

Believe it or not, but UK is actually one of the best 'european student'. It almost always adopts EU laws, spends a lot of money for the EU institutions, etc.
The only thing they could be blamed for about EU is rejecting the Euro (although a whole lot of shops accepted the european currency last time I went to Scotland) and being basicaly anti-EU

They are welcome!
