Hello, Just wanted to make people aware of the Druid Challenge multistage ultra run in November. 3 days to cover 82 miles. There is a sponsor form for Help for Heroes when you sign up. Should be a good opportunity to raise some money for our lads. I should be down there for the event, so if you're ...

Cheers mate, thanks for clearing that up for me.

Congrats on your grade at ADSC it's always a good feeling passing not just "scraping through", however on topic i believe the logistic specialist would be a more varied job role than driver but there are diffrent types accoring to the British Army website such as fuel and supply specialist...

Cheer man, good luck when you start at catterick, i'll pass on the advice that the infantry at my adsc were given and that is to just hang in there no matter what, don't show them that they have got to you at any stage or they'll be all over you like a rash. I wont get my date just yet cos i still ...

Ive heard from several friends i have within the army that when they started at Catterick were given a sum of cash (which would eventually be taken out of there first wage packet) to help them through the first 5 weeks of training, can anyone confirm this?

Thanks.

Congratulations pal im made up for ya! Shows what you can acheieve when you put the effort in, have to let me know when you start basic. Im off to catterick in 3 weeks from tomorrow - bring it on! haha, i only got my job so quick because someone backed out of the duke of lancasters intake and he ori...

Well mate your DAOR is your Discharge As Of Right, which is basically the 28 days you have to discharge yourself out of basic training, after that time window has elapsed you need to serve your contract. The grenade test i really wouldnt worry about, he told us what to write down when we got the pre...

Alright lad, i started my application in january of this year, i go to basic on the 7th of august 2011 so its took me about 8 months to get into basic, most of that time is just waiting around for the doctors report, to do pre-selection twice, wait for the dates which were avaliable to me, plus deal...

Hi I am due to go to Bassingbourn on the 28th of June and Pirbright for the ADSC on the 14th July. I am confident with the fitness aspects and the team building exercises but I am not sure as to the sort of questions I will be asked in the interview. Will it be similar to my interviews at the AFCO ...

Hey Jordan, let me first say congrats on wanting to purse a carrer in the armed forces, im currently in the process of joining the Infantry in the Duke of Lancs. Obviously your chosen job and regiment will change the length of time due to intakes and such. Ofcourse i can only speak from my own exper...
