Hey All

Post by Kage »

I'm new around here,

I was looking for info on the Military in General and a friend of mine directed me here :) looks great.

A bit about me.

I am currently a cadet in the A.T.C (Dont kill me yet) but when ive finished school and college yada - ya i am 100% definately going into the services, though what as yet im not sure, so im here to make my mind up.
Although after experiencing both the RAF and the Army side of things im more than likely going to a branch of the army, maybe the paras :P

anyway looking forward to talking with you all

well when i first joined the A.T.C i was all R.A.F and like every other man and his dog that joins the A.T.C, i wanted to be a pilot.
Luckily, our CO was ex R.A.F Regiment, and the squadron is very close to the local TA unit.
So it didnt take long before i was going on exercises with the T.A and so on, and I absolutely loved it.
Last summer I spent a week camp at R.A.F Brize Norton, and just so happened to be sharing our mess with a group of paras, and after talking to a few (very rare, most people hate cadets :P) I was really interested.

So now im keeping an eye out for any information i can find, and also i hope to be doing the parachute course through A.T.C when im 16, to see if ill be able to hack the jumping out of plane bit before i go in for the real thing :)

...............and i'll stop talking now. :)

Most people hate cadets...not sure how true that is...maybe it was just cos you were with the crabs!! I met PWRR, Loggies and Engineers in cadets, plus an unscheduled meeting with Gurkhas (we walked into their ambush, wasn't pretty I assure you, turned out the training area had been double-booked and the two parties didn't have sufficient comms about who was where and when); all of them were friendly and encouraging so long as you didn't ask bone questions and were fairly switched on, remember a lot of the lads were in our shoes not that long ago!! Even the Gurkhas were a good laugh after they got over us screwing up their ex!! Good times, and I'm sure Royal will be that much better...
