Hey buddy, are you sure it's the 25th, i thought they only did them over weekends and the 25th is a Thursday???

I am calling my Careers Advisor soon to arrange my 2nd interview, they say it usually takes 2-3 weeks for a selection spot so i could be going around that time. What are you looking at joining?

Finally got my train tickets for Glencorse today. It's starting to feel like things are actually happening now. It's been a really long wait! Anyone going up on Sunday or Monday?

Hey Daggers, what's that 1 day fitness test you did and where did you do it?

Cheers

I done it at 6th batallion rifles with about 60 other people who are in progress of their application, it is to determine your levels of fitness before you go to selection.

It only lasted a couple of hours but was a good bit of fun and was nice to meet people in their application too.

Thanks for that, good luck with selection. Should have mine within the month.

Cheers.

Hey stacey, i was going for Gunner Light Gun but recently found out that the Royal Artillery have stopped recruiting for a year, not sure if that includes the King's Troop RHA, probably not but still worth checking.

think i've decided on the Royal Engineers. Weather permitting i am doing a solo para jump Thursday, so by Friday i should know (hopefully) if i want to go for 23 Reg, 9 Para Squadron RE.

Hey all I've just got back from ADSC Pirbright with a pass under my belt so I'm happy to answer any questions.

Timecop there is an eyeight part to the medical including some colourblind tests (reading numbers) but I'm not sure whether it will be a problem or not, sorry. I guess it depends what job you're going for.

Just got back from ADSC (Glencorse) about 2 hours ago. Passed, thank Christ!
Don't bother worrying about the medical, theres nothing you can do about it. It's everything after the medical you need to think about.

Happy to anser any questions.

P.S Thanks to everyone whos helped me on this site.
