Great News, I bet you were over the moon on the way back from the Recruitment office :D

March is nice and soon, after reading some other posts, people thought that due to the ammount of people applying the wating lists were longer..

anyways good luck

Good news, I joined the Corps at 26 and had some doubts but it is without doubt the best thing I have done. I won't say that you won't regret your decision - I regretted mine almost every day at CTC but there was no way I was going home having failed - but to work with the likes of some of the characters who pop up on this forum, and many more besides is an honour. I'm pleased for you - it's a big boat to miss.

Flatlander - I didn't realise that you were a potential Cloggie and was just (on another thread) having a light hearted dig. 'Cloggie' is a term of affection after all. It was because the Dutch kept stuffing us at naval battles around the Medway that the Corps was born.

Count - I hope you got stuck into that circuit after Rob's reprimand.

as stated elsewhere sully, no harm, Harry Enfield had it spot on.

Who the hell wears clogs anyway? Funny, Dutch Health and Safety have stipulated that clogs are OK as safety/work shoes, so in theory you could work in a building pit in a pair as they are apparently extremely strong and thus safe.

Wilson: Popped into the careers office this morning to hand in a few security forms. They have re-scheduled my RT Test for the 21st January which is a day after yours, so my man, you will have to let me know how you get on ;) Atleast this will give me more time to master the tricks and tactics of these types of tests.

Glad to hear they've given you the green light, hope it goes well.
You should talk to somebody who gives a f**k.
