Hey.

Quick question really.

I went to the AFCO over 6 months ago, firstly was interested in joining the RAF and then a month later interested in joining the Army.

The Seargent I spoke to in the RAF said that my mild eczema meant that I should stay away from engineering trades but wouldnt be a ...

lol

I guess I just gave a great impression of both the TA and Intel Corp :lol:

Yeah I know about SIB just didnt know if TA RMP could be part of SIB and therefore conduct plain clothes operations.

I found out after anyway that they had been doing something with local civvy police..... didnt know ...

Hey All.

I currently serve in Intelligence TA.

I have a friend who has real bad eczema and he was accepted into the TA without issue...

Im assuming there is lots of variables involved ?

Hey All.

This question has probably been asked thousands of times, and I apologise for covering old ground.

I have mild eczema, but have never had any significant problems with it throughout my life.

I have been to the doctor about it twice only in my life. He gave me some cream and it healed in ...
