[Chris Deeside]

Just thought i'd introduce myself

Chris.. 21.. from Deeside just outside Chester

been wanting to join the army for a few years.. had to wait 18months to apply due to a mild brush with the law in 2004

passed my interviews today and waiting on a date to attend ADSC Lichfield

joining the royal welsh 1st battalion. will be starting basic end of october/beginning of november hopefully.

that is all.

[Hands on]

Welcome, and the best of luck.

[goldie ex rmp]

Welcome mate and good look with your training

[BigStevie]

Welcome and the best of luck mate, they're a good battalion.

[flighty]

Deeside, ay?

You are within firing range of the shennanigans at no 6.

We run a 'pre-joining-the- military' course here. It involves pryrotechnics, drinking lots and survival training.

Artist and me are in charge.

So far we have had no passes. Doc and Kiwiben both failed miserably.

You are more than welcome to sign up for the course. (Bring lots of beer tokens. )

Chris you will be fine, and a huge welcome to the forums. You may also want to try MF&T. Its more in keeping with training etc.

Good luck to you.

Most on here have been where you are right now, in one form or another (albeit perhaps many moons ago), and as you can see we all survived the experience, even given there is a broad variety of experiences on here. Suffice to say, though, that if you really want this and are able to keep a positive attitude, you'll do just fine.

Head down, arse up, and above all keep smiling (it drives "them" crazy!!).

Good luck, mate.
