look forward to your B3 combat engineer course :D :evil: !!done mine from jan-apr...was nasty!!interesting lessons(look forward to demolitions!),learnt alot,but got beasted for the whole course!!!bad 10 weeks if some of your troop mess up from the start!!!i'm at chatham,kent now.having a great time!!

we had a brief with the PSO in week 4...we were told that you choose between uk and germany,then where ever there's a vacancy for the trade you do,you get sent there...i'll see what he says next week and tell you.

will do,gazza!!i think i've got an interview with the PSO next week about postings!gonna put myself down for germany!look forward to basic!!!
and watch out for the RSM in lichfield!!Nasty man if you do something wrong(got caught talking whilst marching around the camp)!!!

finished basic yesterday...pass out parade was great fun!!going to gibraltar barracks on sunday to start phase 2!!gonna be hard,i heard its a big beasting...but looking forward to it!!
basic was a great time!everyone whos starting soon...enjoy it!!i'll be online today and maybe tomorrow,so any ...

i had a cruciate ligament injury(right knee) 4 years ago,still passed the medical for the army...

just got a call...enlisting next week,the 19th!!everything is sorted now!!
that'll be exactly 32 years after my dad sign for the army(19.10.72)!!!
in the same office!!!
isn't that funny!?!?
i was also "warned" that if i weigh more than 87 kg i'll be discharged...'cause of my BMI...

well,was at the AFCO today...but no enlistment!!the RSC hasn't confirmed that they have the results from the doc i saw a few weeks ago!!!so i have to wait a few days till thats sorted!!!

well,i know its not as far away as s.africa,but my flight from germany to england was paid for...

there's also a selection centre in Pirbright...if you live in the south

Hi Danny!
You were in Hohne??i come from there...joining the engineers,start basic on the 25th...
hope you post some stories of your time in the RE...

ask your AFCO about the RE electrician intake dates...maybe your lucky.

I agree with 'Boro...if you really wanna go signals,go for radio op.,then at a later stage do the electrician course!!
or maybe there are still places on my intake(RE) on the 25th...at least my AFCO said so last time i was there...but thats only if you would decide to change to RE!
but i think in ...

yeah,thats exactly what i want!!really excited about starting training,too!!
as i have no job at the moment all i'm doing is a bit of training to keep fit...
time just doesn't seem to pass by when you hardly have things to do!!
but i might just fly home to Germany for another week,as i don't know ...

well,to be honest,i've already completed an apprenticeship back in Germany(3 and a half years)!i'm hoping to get through the basic courses quickly...just liked the job...
and as my dream was to be a soldier,Engineers was the obvious career choice!i'll just see how it goes,want to enjoy phase 1 first ...

i start basic on the 25th october at ATR Lichfield.
Royal Engineers electrician!
