Hey guys,
Just a quick one. Do the people in RT get paid or is it unpaid until they are a Marine?
Cheers,
Andy

but you don't really need much in training do you? I was under the impression it's all provided! ....except the odd trip down the pub...

Well one thing that is for sure is that no one is signing up for the pay.
I was at a party recently and the conversation (bragging) was mainly about money, it started by a train driver saying how he was on 30k, a lawyer chipped in that he was on 45k and an acquaintance chipped in that as part of his new contract as a supermarket store manager he is now on 60k+
Him "your brother was saying your going for the Marines, they get paid f**king peanuts"
Me "I judge a man by his actions, not his wallet"
You should have seen there faces

Very true....with jobs that pay good money come a sh*t load of problems and very little satisfaction!

Yeah a bonus is what i see it as, as it is like a free gym i guess lol, and you get a PTI.
I guess i am going to save the money and drink some of it.

The way i look at it is, i'l be getting paid to keep fit and live an active life, which is what i want to do.
How many people can truly say they enjoy their job? Feck sitting behind a desk or working in a factory.
New year new start in life, 22nd of Jan and...I'M OFF

Yeah, getting paid to go and have fun and keep fit, learn new things, meet new people, and achieve something great.
