Anyone know what the training at Sandhurst consists of? http://www.sandhurst.mod.uk/courses/commissioning.htm All you need to know, short of going into the careers office and getting a booklet on it. That took me all of about 30 seconds to find that...and he wants to be an rupert :roll: :wink: He g...

In short, pass phase 1 and 2 of RMR RT (around 12 to 16 months), pass both your skills courses (time period varying), put in a chit to do FTRS (full time reserve service) and after a year of that, if on your CO's authority/recomendation and a theres a gap you can fill, then you can transfer to the R...

This friction has been going on for years, when i was a recruit back in 2003 this same 'crew' of football hooligans was mentioned to us in the very first week by our drill instructor. We were clearly and comprehnsively told to do as much as possible to walk away and defuse situations before they esc...

You will get a fair amount of stick from the regs, but most of it will be banter and a bit of piss taking. You'll just have to get the wets in on a more regular basis. But you will im afraid come across some who really dont see the RMR in a good light and see it as the back door entrance to the Corp...

The Capt from the RMR, resigned because he thought how pointless were the silly 9 1/2 hr yomp where we only covered around 7 miles(speculation on dist), he was a good capt, just pukka threaders with my training team. 3 guys got injured and were pulled off the yomps, 2 diamonds wrapped, 2 other lads...

The lads just wrapped because it was that bad and the weather was taking the piss. We had a capt from the RMR who resigned after the ex... That says a lot. What you trying to say about rubber daggers Felias? :o :lol: Final Ex always seems so different from one to the next, i guess its all just depe...

You can either hear the tone or not. No amount of tips will get your through the test if your hearing is inadequate. Yes exaclty, so if you can hear the tone after having your ears syringed why on earth would you not do it. There is nothing wrong with your hearing when you have a build up of wax, y...

The lads down at CTC will understand this the most but its worth saying. The fact is that regardless of age you have to get what needs to be done, done and that means working with people you may not nessaserilly get on with, or even damn well despise in all honesty. You cant get by on your own and h...

7. It's 4 days and its harsh. First exercise with kit musters, crash moves, mega early inspections (4:30am for 920!) You do some target identification and some a very basic night nav but it's really any excuse to get you running up and down those damn hills lol. geez, we were doing kit musters on f...
