Jesse now we are friends again, my suggestion before you go to the land of no dhobis, is you contact the head sheds at Keogh Barracks for a heads up.
The corps MA advisor is probably toppers and on his orders to retain blokes within the grav level. He aint got much to play with to be honest, if they are only alloting a number of spaces per year then thats the system. But like all systems once you've been good and gone to the front, perform an outflanking manourve and come in from the flanks.
Contact Keogh and ask.
In fairness when I served with you lot I spent most of it with perc in 59, great bunch of lads, but then when we had to pop and see normal perc it wasnt nice. They dont march proper, speak proper, wash, drink rum or think....they have officers who think for them!!
god help them
