Hi,

I did originally want to join the RM when I first came across this site, but my eyes are 0.75 too sh1t so I cant go that option.

The Army requirements are more lenient so am going Infantry (am checking if my eyesight will prohibit me doing that at interview on 31st).

Hows things Artist?

I have no experiance stinky, but i would think there would be things like contracts and 'agreements' which do not allow you to be sacked, if not there should be

I've got some TA bumph that says something along the lines of 'your job is secure'.

Yea it is true, you cant be fired from your job if you get called up. In some cases the army may also match your civilian pay scale if you would become in debt.

Not sure how you go about getting that done though.

Oh yea just thought id add this in, if you are a student don’t worry about being called up as you wont be!
