Hiya Frank. Yeah, no worries. Have had a couple of nippers asking about Int Corps due to another post I did on another thread, so it's no problem at all. Did a fair few different jobs when I was in, so I'm cool about answering anything.
Few things I did
Recruiter
Recruit Instructor (PTI)
Mounted Dutyman with Household Cav
Radio Op with Armoured Regt H/Cav
Went to Sandhurst
Int Corps Linguist
So did a few bits and bobs and loved my time in!!!! Wouldn't change a thing that I did. Lots of up and plenty of downs too!
Thanks for the warm welcome everyone, really good to be here.

That is either an Irish airline or a sex act on a donkey, both of which should be outlawed!Int Corps Linguist
Welcome (belatedly) Mike. Ten years as a donkey whalloper...you must have an outstanding sense of humour!
Ref your avatar...How the hell do they see where they are going? Do the sabres double as blind sticks or is there a lollipop lady running on ahead? Life is such a mystery!
Just joshin, mate. Have fun here.
My old mum's second husband was an infanteer from Glasgow during WWII. Then they cross-posted him and a bunch of his mates to the Blues and Royals for some obscure reason. I believe he ended up as a Cpl (Cpl of Horse?). Apart from his outragous accent, he also had a hell of a stutter. I could barely understand him after knowing him for years. He had a good time with that outfit, though, and was attending reunions right up to the year of his death.
Sorry this is a short one, but im in the middle of another nomad move!! welcome to the forums and glad to have you aboard.
Hoi who has proffed my harry maskers and permanent f*ark knows what in these MFO boxes.

Cheers for the welcome guys. Much appreciatted. We actually used to have a man waving a red flag in front of us, like the old cars in the 1800's. 
Yep, Corporal of the Horse is the equivalent of Sergeant in the Cav.
Lance Corporal = L/Cpl = 2 stripes and a metal crown
Lance Corporal of the Horse = Cpl = 3 stripes and a cloth crown
Corporal of the Horse = Sgt = 3 stripes and a metal crown
Staff Corporal = C/Sgt or S/Sgt = 4 upside down stripes and a metal crown
Squadron Corporal Major = CSM = small crown
Regimental Corporal Major = RSM = Scrambled Egg
Confuzzling or what huh?

Only time I got onto a Oss was at Senney Bridge during a break from work. We all decided to go pony trekking..................... A bloody Wasp/Bee Stung the frigging owd Oss oie was on.
Next thing I knew this Oss was laid on it's side rubbing it arse on the deck and going NEIGH! WINNEY! NEIGH! with me still on the bloody thing! Twas then that I decided to avoid Oss's and stick to things that went Brummm Brummm instead. It took me yonks to yomp back to the Stable with this Oss trailing along behind me.

Ha ha ha! Had a similar thing happen to a mate when we did a Windsor escort (NOT literally "doing" an escort from Windsor, before anyone says ). He came a cropper and fell off the horse in full kit, the helmet bend down and broke his nose, the cuirasses (metal breastplates) smashed in and broke a few ribs and the horse stamped on him just for good measure. He even got in the papers for that one! Oh how we all laughed!!!!
