quick question - you think I will be able to change my 2nd choice or is it too late in the app process and will it just f@#k things up?

There was a few reasons I wanted to change it. But I dont think I'm going to bother now.
I spoke to my recruitment officer when picking up my train tickets etc and I asked him IF I pass PRAC when does he think I'll be able to start. He said July, I think the 14th. Any ideas why I'll be going in before you guys?

Nope still waiting mate, called last week and they said they where going to call me back. There was another guy who went up with me as well and he's still waiting for his date as well

there must be tones of lads going for the paras if all the intakes are getting filled up so quickly ! so much for prac cutting down the numbers!

I think intake for all Arms is on the increase at the moment, Lympstone's busier than it's been for years if what I've heard is even half-right.

I've heard of loads of people trying for the paras. How many intakes are there a year?

must be the result of the ressesion over the past year... i hear that the royal artillery has stopped recruiting for a year.

i believe there are two intakes per month, although im not certain.
