Hi all, im new to this forum and would rearly apreciate some reply to give me my hope back....

Passed ADSC 11 months ago! :-? seems like years as i am so frustrated waiting for my intake date for catterick.
my chosen regiment is the coldstream guards.
But the question is, how long have i got to keep waiting until i have a position at catterick, i am 29 now and dont think i can wait another year, i class myself as super fit so i am ready to go ASAP!

someone help :wink:

what grade did you get at ADSC?

alot of regiments are over-manned at the moment and are only taking in the best.

a grade C is going to leave you a long wait im afraid mate :(

i was told a grade B will leave me with at least a 6 month wait if not more, and my choice is the infantry as well
