Hey guys,
When I was down at my PRMC, I was told by one of the Corporals in the training team that in july we would get 2 weeks off. Is that true?
And if so are the recruits allowed to go home to thier home countries?
Cheers,
Andy

Andy you may be able to get what is or was called an Indulgence Flight to Oz. But don't quote me on that as it may have all changed.

As of a year ago Artist is correct. There were lads in RT from Canada and S.Africa who went home over Summer, you get the flights paid for im pretty sure.

I'm pretty sure it's paid as MMA, but there is a loft on the amount.
