I know of a TA Chunky Squadron that was mobilised as a whole unit for Telic 2/3 in the force protection role that included women. Maybe there aren't any women serving with the regular equivilant units but it's allowed according to the blurb on the army careers site http://www.army.mod.uk/careers/eng...

Don't get me wrong here I have no problem with gays, but I think it's a bit dangerous allowing them into the military.

You twat, I've passed selection for the Paras and I've got a place at the AFC. I believe I've got the intelligence to become an officer so I'm staying on to pursue further education. Try and compare your NVQ level 2 in Security Guarding to my A Levels. Edited for grammar. More to being an officer t...

Go to http://www.ta.mod.uk and register interest in becoming an...

I discretely looked into it myself a while back and was basically told don't hold your breath unless you have a family connection to the regiment (note, most of their officers are whities who hail from these fair isles).
