I was in the Irish Guards for seven years before moving units and moving on to a more specialist role. The Guards offer a great life for any rank and be prepared to work hard and play harder :)

Bill, good luck mate. The wait will be worth it when you finally get in. What grade did you get at ADSC? Cheers TacLite, I can't wait to start. It's gonna be a mental 28 weeks training, you got any tips to make life a bit easier wilst in training?
