I'm a rubber dagger looking to get myself on an FFX with a regular troop at Lympstone so I can be mobilised for H9. Is there any recruits on here at that stage of training, or anybody in the ...

In this modern day and age where I'm paying through the teeth for everything is RM Poole a PAYD establishment?

Aye, ditto the above post. I did RMR recruit training in my first year and I'm glad I did. My grades did suffer slightly but I did enough to get into the next year and now I can get my head down totally and get my degree out the way. Although, the memories of turning up for a Monday morning 0900 ...

OTC if you're not sure if the forces is for you and want to learn a little bit about the forces

I've never experienced OTC training myself but, from what I've heard, it's a great organisation to obtain bags of leadership experience. However, if your just entering uni theres tons of other places where you can gain leadership experience and general life experience that will stand you in ...

So did you find out the dates then?

I'm assuming the next selection will be round the corner: holding troop has been up and running for some time now.

Not sure of the exact dates Nade but I do know theres been a holding troop up and running for some time now so there may be a selection just round the corner. I think the unit's recently started two intakes a year so selection weekends are 6 months apart.

....I spent a short amount of time at CTC recently and regularly spotted(what I'm assuming was) a rugby team bimbling around in 3 ranks. I've heard of sports teams doing teamwork training and whatnot down at CTC - anybody know what they were up to??

Can anybody tell me if the Barclays bank at CTC charges for withdrawals if you're with another bank?
