Hows everyone doing? I'm back again
Have realised that I should probably wait until after Uni and then join the Army as
A) 3 year party
B) Might realise Army not for me
C) Can enter at higher level if you want.
Anyhoo, hope everyone is well.

It's just that he could get some mob experience while at Uni, get paid and see if he likes it. that's all....Hope that clarifies.

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 heard being a reserve can cause problems. Like, if you get called away, you might get fired from your other job.

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

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!
