Can anyone tell me what cap badge support staff wear? im currently with reserve pioneer unit, and thinking about transferring. Was thinking about wht roles i could fulfill, i am HGV driver but also infantry trained and winged up, from 4 para yrs ago. However old father time would preclude me from th...

heard recently that successful completion of said course brings with it automatic promotion to Lance corporal?
Any feedback appreciated.
Or does anyone have any information on courses that would qualify you for promotion?
I'm currently Reserve pioneer regiment.
Cheers.

Sorry if this post is in wrong forum, im sure someone will advise. I have recently been diagnosed as having a trivial heart murmur, whilst undergoing a routine medical. It has never been picked up before, i am 46. I have no symptoms at all. I have been told i will not receive medication or any other...

Thanks all for replies or lack thereof. Wont waste my time here anymore. Its the arrse forums for me from now on.

Heres hoping for that elusive reply, on a matts week, who or what would be b g7 training team?

Simple one, has anyone done the pfa route at grantham? What is route like? Flat? Hilly? Cheers.

Hi wondered if anyone can give me any info on pre nco course. How do you get on this course? How long is duration of course? Is it a pre requisite for promotion? Is this the only route to lance jack? How often is course run and where? What does course involve etc etc etc etc. Cheers.

Thanks for that, so am I right in assuming, if you passed pcoy with 4 para in say 1990, they would actually have been 10 para? I'm trying to research the birth date of 4 para and everything to do with them. Do you mind me asking what year you did pcoy jumps etc?

Having not long since joined a Ta pioneer unit, I would like some solid info. I'm 46 yrs old, I would like to know what time I have to do 1.5 mile run. I gather it's age related. I have heard lots of different times, and had lots of smart comments, but no solid info. Cheers.

Ok, more questions to silence my ignorant mate. 1. When did pcoy move to catterick? 2. Previous to this, did 4 para do pcoy at aldershot? 3. What was 4 para's birth date? 4. What aircraft were used for jumps in those days at brize? I'm assuming it was brize. 5. Pcoy lasted 2 weeks? How long was jump...

Thanks for settling that one for me, I will of course be smug when informing my friend.
We have lots of drink fuelled discussions, and many arguments arise, so with your permission I'd like to crack the little shit off on some more points?

Let's settle an argument here, when paying compliments to warrant officers? I have always braced up and addressed them as sir or ma'am, never saluted though. That has always done the job. My friend however insists warrant officers must be saluted? I'm fairly certain I'm right. Please put this other ...

Thanks, the issue has never been around me forgetting when I did pcoy or jumps. I know what year and month and number on jumps. Now, there is proof that I did pcoy but no evidence of jumps. You have to remember, its not me that is unsure of facts or numbers or dates. Far from it. I even remember som...
