I guess It's the MOD, a lot of specialist on op's like surgeons, Dr's and people like that are TA and earn a lot In civi street. In my cases we are talking a couple of extra grand top up, but I did meet a lawyer In Iraq who was with a armour unit who claimed he was on £100,000 and the Army matched ...

Yes this Is true, I earn more In my civi job then I do with the Army and got my earnings bumped up.

It's always made me chuckle, that you hit 30 and then you get given another 30 sec, how does that work then.

I can say for one thing I intend never to use those extra seconds.

I was In the RLC, and I still hat to come In under 10.30
I am now RAMC and I still have to come In under 10.30 (well I get 11.00 as I am getting old)
And just so you know my last BPFA was 9.15.

I think you will find It's the same.

All the best mate, I have been warned off for around the end of January.

It's a few years since I did the army swim test but this Is what It was at the time

All done In combat 95, deep water entry and the tread water for 2 min, then on the whistle swim down to the shallow end of 25 metre pool across the shallow end and back up to the deep with out stopping and touching ...

It Is possible In the RLC as a driver to get every licence there Is.

I do apologise I had, had a few and read your post as driver not diver

As Tab said your best bet would be the Navy, I have a friend going through this at the moment.

May I suggest binning the gym for a couple of months and just doing cardio.

What do they teach In schools now days.

Take one look at the dickhead with the gun to his head and just wish the weapon was loaded and the safety catch was off.......he had a fully loaded weapon.......... :D

If It Is anything like mine, don't forget to add corporal to the end of your big three, It did make for some very amusing moments for the people watching the blokes that didn't

We used to get a bit of a bollocking for calling It a gas chamber, apparently not very politically correct

As far as I know you can't, you have to leave the TA and then sign on with RMR.
You best bet would be to give the RMR unit you want to join a call.
