Hi folks, it's been years since I've posted on here... I'm a former TA infanteer (L/Cpl) with one tour of Helmond completed in 2008. As a civvie with strong interest in an emergency medical role I'm looking at getting back into the regular forces in a medical capacity. Options on civvie street for a...

Long time since I’ve done anything RM related and it seems to me that the PRMC has changed some what, at least with the run (but then it was always changing). However I still keep fit with the same methods. Much of what’s been said on here is pretty good advice, what I’d say to you though is this: M...

Ok, no dramas, cheerz guys. Again, whilst i'm here - do you know if thier is an intake early next year? What sort of month am I looking at? (Again i'll get an official heads up when I ring).

I mean to ring up 10 Company at some point to get some clarity on this but since I’m here... I'm currently with 3rd battalion Princess of Wales Royal Regiment down in Brighton. I’ve been in about a year and a half with previous on and off reserve training prior to this. I’m currently still at uni do...

In an attempt to save this thread before it fulfils the prophecy by itself... The Middle East will continue to be a threat to international security as long as the West has its fingers all over the region, however we’ve played a large part in its current mess and our vital regional interests will co...

Zeus,

Zeus, I thought about 131, seems to offer some excellent opportunities. At the moment I’m resident in Pompy, but from end of June I’ll be near Brighton. Nearest 131 det is London Kingsbury, will take about 2 hours travel one way which I can put up with. Are you a member? If so what’s the score with ...

Sorry Spooky, I meant this year, not next. Thanks for the replies guys, I’ve had a bit of a think since my first post and come to the conclusion that my best bet is to bite the bullet and transfer at some point to an elite unit. Until then I’m going to put in for Officer training once phase two is o...

About two years ago when I tried it was phase 1A: 7 weekends (including induction) followed by a 2 week 1A course at CTC. If you pass this stage then its a further 8 weekends at least, followed by 2 week RFCC at CTC. then onto phase 2 "commando company" where you attain the rest of the com...

Hi fellas and ladies, I haven't posted for a while but have continued to browse regularly, and I’m glad to say there's still a lot of good material on here, which obviously grows everyday. Some of the guy on here ...might remember me from a while back when I attempted RMR recruit training but left a...

Have you thought about the RMR? There is a Detachment in Bermondsey. It'll require a little more of your time and a lot more of your energy but it'll be worth it. I did about half the basic training with RMR but came out and decided to leave it for a while, as much as I wanted it, I wasn't ready for...

I can confirm that the 'R' isn't around any more, just the same flashes as the regulars. benjordan81, We were constantly told what to expect when/if we passed out of training (I never made it, but intend to try again at some point). Basically you can do any course the regs do, they will even send yo...

It might be worth looking into the RMR Holding troop sessions: If you explain your situation to them they should be able to put you in with the holding troop Phys sessions which will give you a good RM Style thrashing every week, if the Holding troop sessions arn't running for some reason then have ...

This advise comes from having got half way through RMR training (Quit for various personal reasons) and is from my own personal experience and what I and the rest of the troop was told by the PTIs. I DO NOT claim to know all but as their is a lack of coherent advise in this topic I thought I might a...

Boredatwork, Don't worry about fitting in mate, generally the TA is full of all sorts of people, from the highly educated to the painfully think. I've just joined a TA Infantry unit to cure some boredom and make some money whilst I’m at Uni and yea if you act special you'll get stick for it, but if ...
