Screw the Army

[Redhand]

Ok,

but is there any assurances the Royal Marines won't screw around like the army does when it comes to appy's?

Not being funny mate but you applied on the 13th of this month, so id still be a little bit patient, Army or Marines the process takes a while. Infact a bloody long time but don't worry, it'll get there in the end.

It don't matter which part of the Armed forces you join they will still F**k You about!

"Are the men happy S/Major?"

"Yes Sar!"

"Well Shoot Two and charge the rest!"

It's all part of being British!

I feel that it is goverment policy to keep recruitment down to a minimum so that they can turn around say that they are cutting certain Regiments due to poor recruitment.

What are the chances of the Parachute Regiment getting Disbanded anytime soon??

about nil

They have been trying to give us the chop for many many years, but every now and then they need them.

Screw the army indeed! I have just finished with army boyfriend it was a total disaster area! Should have stuck with Royal when I had him. What a fool I was! Royal every time!

Anyone know how I can get hold of D-Coy - 40 Commando?!! Anyone got the BFPO address!?

My God they are all shifty looking! Kind of hoping you are the giant strawberry/tomato in the back - at least he's smiling!

D-Coy?????

Would that be "Decoy" as in "red herring"??

[Meekon]

Hmmmm well it was a year ago! Anyway I have no intention of getting in touch with him I was only joking.

Lance,
Don't give up now!!! I first walked into an AFCO in June 2003, promptly took in my forms, now 14 months later I'm starting basic on Sunday. I've been pi$$ed off waiting around but you'll get there in the end mate. JJ was right, I had to keep bothering them too, just make a nuisance of yourself, that should get things moving. If all else fails you could ring your Regt/Corps recruitment HQ and tell them what the problem is, chances are they will get in touch with AFCO and kick them up the ar$e!!

Good Luck mate and keep at it!!

Yesterday I walked into a mobile army recuitment centre which I happened to be working next to.

I spoke with the officer about joining and I had 2 concerns my age 34 and a ripped achillies, which I had surgery on last year.

He told me I could join up to the age of 54 and my achillies I would have to have checked out etc..

He said go across the road and see our doctor now if you like (for nothing). They were going to do a medical on the spot for me. (I couldn't at the time because of work commitments).

Now that is quick ... I can't believe you have waited a year it is disgraceful.
