:o STOP think out the box! your current situation is as follows. You have an army issue bag, it's warm enough but its way to big. You want: a bag that is just as warm but half the weight.

All Arms Commando Course and Signals

If I join the signals as a SYSTEMS ENGINEERING TECHNICIAN
can I then go on and do the AACC and still stay in the same trade group?


If I understand right, only certain trade groups are alowed to sit the AACC?(if so is my trade choice one of them)

I am I right or wrong?

Either way this was as amazing as it sounds but very isolated. When I came back for about a week I was HYPER paraniod. I was in Virgin one day and...

bad spelling and the army

How will my bad spelling go down if I join the army?

I'm not stupid (I have two degreas) however my spelling stinks. I am dyslexic however the only manifestation of the condition is my smelling....sorry spelling.

I know this is kind of a silly question but it does have a serious side.
