Long history?? There's lads who have been in basic training for LONGER than the Rifles have existed

Rifles have a proud and noble tradition.
Peninsula war and Sir John Moore etc.
Fine regiment.

Yeah but that's the original Rifles though so it doesn't count

Hollos,
Sorry that you are jaundiced towards Royal.
Possibly it was because of the duties allocated
to you.

f@#k hell, ive got to start wearing turtle necks when out on the piss

I don't know what the tatoo polict in the MOD is, but I'd get your Recruiting Officer to double check with the head office.

I have a massive one on my arm, known as a sleeve and they took a few pictures sent it off to the HQ and some commander came back and authorised it. If you're serious about becoming a Royal I'd go back and ask.

Which recruiting office are you recruiting from?

Just another note,

They will not remove tattoo's from your neck. The scar tissue will be too weak.

I was stabbed in the neck, and had to have 3 skin graphs to build up and cover the scar tissue, it's the only place on your body where the scar tissue is a issue.

Therefore they certainly will not purposely remove tattoos from your neck. Have you ever seen a tattoo removal? It's not nice.

Out of interest, is your neck tattoo a dotted line with a picture of some little scissors on it?

Just a thought...
