Sounds good, are you planning on going commando? What were the training staff like? Did you see much of the other regiments whilst training? Cheers, Green

I did abit of research on this role as it was one i was interested in. It's not so much a hard job to get into but alot of people apply for it and there aren't many intake places so the waiting list is pretty long.

All you can do is ask at the careers office as they will be able to give you an answer. My advice is be 100% honest with them, they will find out and you will be kicked out.

Bit of a nightmare thread... Rollo, my advice is do not join the army. If you are asking what point of a person dieing is then this job is not for you.

What have you been doing since you finished training?

Cheers Shaun thats exactly the sort of thing i was looking for. When did you come out?
