after you pass out could you specailize as a warrior driver or would you have to wait, and also what trades would be open to me.
I've had enough of my civvi job now and want a real fullfilling career with a pension, I've come to the point were my life is going no were and my future is looking crappy so i really wanna rejoin.
Also does anybody know when there up four there tour in afghan.
How long does it take for me to get the ball rolling when i hand in my discharge papers ?

I think once you have finished your p1 and P2 training you will spend about a year as an infanteer (sorry about the spelling) and then you can specialize as a driver or recce and so on.
I'm to sure on how long it will take you because its different for everyone, but so far for me it has only taken 2 weeks and iv done my barb and my doctor has sent of my forms.
But I'm sure someone on here can help you better.
And the best of luck to you if you go through with it.
