done barb test today 69 i got. the engineers arent takin in till next year so need a little re-think on me job choices but there wasnt too many i fancy an i wouldnt like to do infantry just 4 the sake of it

Recruiting for this year in most jobs is nearly full. Personally I would wait out for the job you want.
Get a part time job and be happy in the knowledge that no matter how bad your part time job is, in 12 months you will be doing the job you really really want!

Sound advice

[ever1878]

the waitin round is the worst! even if i get through adsc i will still have months to wait to get into engineers!

[Dixie66]

I think most RE trades will be around March '10. Once you pass ADSC just use the time to train hard and be as prepared as possible for Basic, time goes fairly quick.

Well lets hope it goes quick until March

Hmm, it sounds nobody want to be call to duty, are you guys joinning the Army for fun(the Army got alot of fun but only for those that are willing to serve ) or want to protect UK an the rest of the world against terrorist .As you said '' don't want it for it duty sake'' meet your Carrer Advicr to tell you more about Infantry-we got alot of offer in it : comm, engr e.t.c . remember nothing can keep you away from the frontline once you're in the Army unless you want to become the head of Armed Forces over night .You've got to show some bravery and skills b4 you can earn respect ...

[timex]

Royals, what are you wittering on about?

[ever1878]

why would i join the army for "fun"? i'm saying i really want to go in soon as possible its just that a careeer in the engineers is what i really want to do but i'l be waiting a while. i mentioned the infantry because they take on about 3 times before the end of the year. and i am not trying to pick a job that will keep me from seeing action i'm not stupid i wouldn't join the army and be shocked to be told to go and fight.
some cranks on here man!
