I aint got the documents handy but its 102nd Royal Engineers.
By medical I mean blood tests, etc I just got home and decided to post here im not really a Doctor nor am I studying medicine. Im a student in Computer Internetworking
I see the TA as basicaly gettin paid for them to offer corses and I dont mind being sent away for 6 months.

Aight, cos u do know that the RE are the busiest regiment in the army... So u will be deployed, and most likely to Iraq...So if ur just doin it for the free courses then you might be in it for the wrong reasons...

I dont mind being sent to countries, but I dont like the reasons we went to war with Iraq. I choose to go to the TA to deveop myself both in fitness and in mind.
I want to keep myself busy also as a student with the TA and hopefully another job but I am not disputing the pay was a factor in going.
I class myself Scottish and not British but if Britain is in war I want to protect my country in what way I can.

I don't understand... what's wrong with Jason's Avatar? OH...yeah... spinning... I like spinning, it's what propellors do when things are right with the world...
... but make no mistake, the drugs and alcohol sound like they might be ok too...

Thank you Jason.
The Knights Templar is much more soothing.
Now I'll get back on Klinks case.
You young people and your Disco's and strobe lights.
Next thing you know it'll be loose women and lager shandy.
I hope you realise that the above will lead to fat slags that'll make you chew your arm off in the AM,then stronger stuff like moonshine just to forget the experience.
Trust me,young Jedi's.
Wholley.
