How long till basic will it be after passing rsc

Post by scruffy »

Hi, i have just passed rsc and i was wondering how long it will take for me to start basic training.

I have 2 questions.

When is the earliest date i will be able to start.

When is the latest date i will be able to start without having to go back to rsc?

Cheers lads, Scruff.

This is really one for your AFCO to answer mate, give them a bell and you will be told.

I doubt anyone here will be able to tell you intake dates, as you haven’t even mentioned what regt/corps your joining.

congrates on passing though.

I got back from my RSC on a Thursday, called the AFCO on the Friday. By Tuesday I had my start date and form in the mail telling me my contract signing date and service number. It all depends on availability of your trade, and if you are going Infantry, which Division you're going for. I am going Light Division (LI, RGJ) so they will run more courses than the Paras for example (4 Batallions they have to staff, not 3 like the Paras).

Nearly everyone who gets sent to the specialist passes. No one failed when i went there and there was at least 30 of us.

Its a proper demoraliser when you get told at RSC. took me 6 and a half hours to get to RSC from Manchester on train and coach, had lunch, had medical and told to go home within the hour, another 6 and a half hour journey back same day.
