I just wonder why no-one tried to rugby tackle him, hit him with a big branch from behind, etc.....??? But how can we even begin to imagine the fear and incomprehension of those who were there??? I suppose the defining image was where youngsters held their arms up in surrender expecting some rationa...

Give your local recruitment office a ring and ask them the question.

Wow,Maig has done 22 years,Rocky,and reckons you have no tours under your belt. owdun I'm afraid I didn't make my point very well in my first post. Which was that Malg's 'problems' (if that's the right word) are under his control. Well, at least, once when he gets home. Which is, that if he thinks ...

You did. But maybe you meant the unit you're attached to?

I'd choose the one which fitted the rifle I was using!

Malg,

Has the system changed? You won't be jumping any time soon to go again? Don't you go when your Unit goes?

If rejoining is something you've set your heart on, don't make your decision on opinions in here. billy is probably spot on but the only way you'll know for certain is by asking at a Recruitment Office. Here's the Army blurb on rejoining ( I guess the other Services are si...
