Yeah, I was thinking the same thing, 1 month 3 weeks until I start training as a pioneer, having second thoughts about the career I chose though.

A friend of mine is applying for military admin, could any one tell me what combat situation they'd fine themselves in if any at all.

Ok, I've done some research on operational tours to Iraq, Afghanistan and so forth ... and I've found that after a 6-7 months tour you'll have roughly about 18 months before your next tour, the reason for this post is to see if my findings are right.

Hey I'd love to have a copy of that programme extincttiger@hotmail.com, would really appreciate it if you could send it me mate.

This is for my benefit, after training what is the time off like?

You know what mate, its hard to answer your question until you've done an active tour but can I just say the media always magnify stories.
which has been proven over and over.

May I ask what reg are you going mate, I'm off on a training week with the Pioneers on the 10th of March to see if I'd like it or not instead of running straight into the great unknown. Anyone here know much about the Pioneers? Tips and information would be nice.

I was in bed with the misses, thought we was going war(not really), but it was unexpected and gave the misses quite a scare aswell.

If in doubt mate best thing to do is go to your local careers office, or if your currently in the force speak to an officer. Joining the SAS/SBS is normally base on your determination and a high level of fitness.

Can some one tell me if you get taxed at all in the Army or is it something like the Navy, taxfree if you're on active duty away from home for six months. Really would appreciate a reply.

Any one knows the youtube address if its on there yet.

Does anyone know the youtube link to episode 2?

Was the barb test fairly medium knowledge? Or did it start off easy then get difficult? How long was it roughly? Would appreciate a reply.

Which regiment is the light infantry para's? Or is there any other light infantry regiment please state.

Well in the revision booklets I didn't revise for the RE TEST because it says in my booklet you might not take it unless you're applying as a "Navy artificer" but I won't give up I wasn't planning on giving up.

I just feeel disappointed and gutted..and thanks really made me feel better.
