Self intro

[RMR_Nod]

Just a quick introduction ladies and gents: I'm a long-time browser of this site, first-time contributor. As my name suggests I'm pretty new to the RMR, having turned to the dark side following a few years in the TA/UOTC. My end-goal is to join the regular Corps as a YO, stacks of work ahead of me then!

Anticipate stacks of training questions in the weeks leading up to my POC. I will, however, aim to share as much of my, albeit limited, knowledge to anyone standing entirely on the civvy side of the fence!

Cheers all

Welcome to the forum matey.
So have you started RMR training yet? Was there a selection weekend for you recently? If so, what do you think so far?

I put in a chit for a transfer from the TA in June (yes, this is now possible) but it's been an admin nightmare so I've been attending holding troop while I wait to appear on their books and will do a PRMC with the rest of the lads in November. Although I've not been away on a weekend yet but holding troop has been awesome - it's been about 80% good, hard phys with a bit of sport, rock climbing and teaching thrown in - I'm pretty much Corps-pissed at the moment, so that should carry me through any low points I find myself in when it all gets a bit more serious

Where in Somerset are you from.

Taunton. Yep, me and Stinky used to wear the same cap badge.
