Google it mate, or 'The King's/Queen's Shilling.' An old method of more or less conscription, without it being conscription.

PS. Tab, you're not THAT old are you?!

im 6 weeks or so off catterick and im joining princes of wales. 1. because its my local regiment.. and if ur not aware PWRR was formed by a combination on 2 regiment one being the queens regiment and the 2nd was the royal hampshire regiment and im from hampshire. i had some family serve in the royal hampshire regiement when it was about so thats another good reason

I am still fairly open minded on a job but i have gone for the Royal Artillery as a Corps and will decide upon a Regiment during week 1-6 of phase 1 when recruits are visited by units(if i make it there of course!), would love to join an Airborne unit and will be doing a solo charity jump 11th June to see if it's for me, if it is then 7 RHA is a strong possibility as my run time is around 9:17-30 which after 2 phases of army training i'm sure will drop to 9:00 or there abouts.
