16 you have to go to wellbeck :o i joined the marines around 5 weeks after my 16th that was 3 years ago. Hope your interview goes well theres generally about 2-3 questions about the corp and then the rest is on personal experiances, hobbies , family e.t.c.

Had my Eye test on Tuesday. Hardest thing was finding a parking space. Looking forward to the interview now but I'm a little concerned about my lack of progress with press ups. Will wait and see what is said at my RMAD.

Good effort Justin, I joined through the Canterbury office - many moons ago. I initially went to the Army office (to join the Corps :o ) and was laughed out of the place by a para stripey (fair one) but only after I'd made it clear that I'd only consider the paras if the Corps wouldn't have me.

You've some challenging times ahead but such a lot to look foward to - it's a great life.

My name is Glenn, im 18 years old born in northern ireland, lived in sheffield most of my life, I am re-enlisted for the british army after an 18 month gap in civvy street, and will be starting basic training in the next couple of months (or hopefully few weeks *crosses fingers*), I was reffered to this site by a friend, and already I prefer this one to the ARRSE community (complete w*******) in my opinion :D

Thanks guys,

Glenn. :)
