If Int Corps is what you want then I would say, Go for it and dont let anything be put off.
Good luck mate

What would happen in that scenario then MSI64?
Would you begin and complete P1 and then have a big gap in between or would you be advised/directed to wait in civvy street for a period before starting P1 so that P1 and P2 rolled off one after the other?
If the first option, what and where would you be likely to be posted for the interim period? Would you become a world class tea boy and odd job man at Chicksands for a few motnhs or would they make use of the time as best possible?
Any thoughts?
Dwarfy,

Dwarfy,
Sadly, it won't. Green skills in the Corps are sadly neglected. Aside from this, in my humble opinion, being Bad for any soldier, it is doubly so because there are so many juniors in the Corps who could & want to hack the green stuff. However, at the moment the powers that be are not keen on it.Dixie66 wrote:and basic training may satisfy your taste for the infantry life style.
And the Bootnecks, and SF, and all sorts of gucci units. Luckily, these units are sometimes more open to you getting involved in green stuff, though usually on exercise, courses, and off your own bat.Another plus is that like with most Corps you have the opportunity to volunteer for the Airborne. There is a chance to serve with 89 Military Intelligence Section attached to 16 Air Assault Brigade.
Have to be quick, so:
Dixie basically has the right idea about the Corps. However, don't expect too much green stuff. The Corps is not bollocks paperwork, but 95% of the work is based inside making assessments & so on. The closest civilian comparison I can give is what you see on TV dramas of a cop show, the murder investigation central investigation room where Morse or whoever does their stuff. It is about absorbing large amounts of information, making deductions, and convincing the CO that those deductions are right.
I think there should be more green stuff, and I know that some senior officers in the Corps think the same, but unless you happen to be under command of one of them, don't expect it. If you want to kick down doors, join the infantry.
Aside from that, I take slight exception at anyone saying the Corps is the 'best they could get'. It is one of the most competitive regiments out there along with Para Reg and so on, just in a different vein - the Reg takes the fittest, the Corps takes the smartest.
If you have any more questions about recruitment or the basic job, I'll answer what I can.
