I fully admit to be visiting from ARRSE but having come across this thread, I thought I would look through all antphilip's previous posts to see what all the fuss was about. Have I missed something? I can't see quite why everyone is getting so het up- if you don't agree with his point of view, just ...

The UGL is an excellent bit of kit although it does make your rifle a bit bulky if you're travelling in vehs alot.

Don't worry too much about BARB scores. If you just miss out by a couple of points, join the same regt/corps doing a different job and then transfer across to the trade you want once you are at Phase 1 Trg. Like a lot of things in the army, once you are in the system there is a lot more leeway and ...

See if you can get hold of the sit-up bleep test; I'm sure you should be able to download it somewhere on the net. Doing this test is the best way to prepare for it as it conditions your body.

Army Sixth Form College is called Welbeck (at least it was, I know they were moving but I don't know whether they closed down). There are also a couple of Military schools which may well extend into the sixth-form.
