It's good to see this post has gone from unpleasant ranting to some very good suggestions.

Scott turned this post around himself.
So,good on him.

Its somthing I am obviously going to have to think about alot.

Thanks again for all your help.

Thanks for that Alfao :)

It sounds like you had an amazing time during you "gap year" :D

Just a question on regards to:

Say... I went to Uni and the RMR, got my green lid. Stayed at uni, got my degree.

What is the process for going: from uni/RMR to an Officer in the RM's? Is it a ...

Good luck with your course mate. Im sure you'll pass.

I guess it is a great move to get the Green lid and do a Uni course. But I am so scared about going to university, hating it, and dropping out. What will that look like? lol.

I know the chances are it WILL be the best three years of my life ...

Scott,

It takes a big man to admit you are wrong so well done.

Nothing more to add except I think you have made the right decision regarding university.
Just don't let that gap year become ten. 8)

heheheh.... thats what my Dad said :wink:


Von: I live in Brentwood, Essex. I am about 20 mins ...

Von,

Thanks again.

Today I submitted my UCAS application. And I have applied to do a Computer Science degree at a few local uni's. But I have applied for a "deferred placement" which basically means that I have a year off and don't go until 2009. This doesn't mean that I am definitely going, but ...

Look people,

I am sorry for being an arse

I just type and don't think and I have come short. Sorry

Hope I can get on in this forum in a more mature and friendly way.

Sorry again.

Wholley your missinformed.

Especially about the RAF.

These forums are full of really helpfull people, who are interested in helping you out and giving advise, people like Von. He has really helped me in a few cases, also PAGreenwell... same as Von hes a very helpfull bloke.

But then we have ...

If it doesn't work out for you and you don't get to become a pilot, go in the AAC anyway and become aircrew! The door gunner is trained to land the aircraft should the pilots get shot. Sounds like fun, providing you can get to aircrew. :)


Argh! If only the Eurofighter had a door gun :D lol ...

Air Bourne

Is he related to Jason by any chance? Boom Boom :P


P.S. Please dont say Paras :p

That's a classic, posting a question and then telling people not to give you the answer :-?

On a side note, while the Paras are the only Airborne Infantry there is also an Air Assault Battalion ...

Scott,

So you don't want to go to University and don't fancy the RMR because it is too far?

You might be the best thing since sliced bread and so get into the Corps as an Officer anyway but you need to be aware that you are opting out of the two things that can really make a difference: the first ...

Hey mate.

Many people have that veiw of th Reg. My dad is in the Met Police and he knows many ex. RAF Regt. guys. I can assure you they don't simply patrol air fields.

Yes, one of their specialities are training for and carrying out the capturing and holding of air fields, but they are also ...

Hey guys.

I am currently studying for my A-Levels. I am studying Business Studies, ICT and Sociology.

I managed to get 4 A's, 2 B' and 5 C's at GCSE.

I want to join the 3rd Battalion Royal Anglian Regiment unit that is close to where I live, and I have a question.

With my current qualifications ...

I got told the same thing when I applied to the RAF for my 6th form sponsorship.

I passed my interview, went to OASC and got told I am too tall. They offered me all these other jobs, I.E. Fighter Control Officer, Weapons Systems Officer etcetc.

But none of it appealed so I drew a line under it.

I ...

Sorry, I don't acctually know how to spell it then, was under the impression that was correct......
