Are you serving in 21 or 23?

If not, get that hurdle out of the way first..........it's a big one.

In that case yes, I have definitely heard of it happening.

Someone at your unit will know the proper procedure to follow.

Best of luck.

Don't know for certain, but I'm pretty sure you have to. You'll probably have to join an infantry unit first, so you have a parent unit.

I'm sorry to say that this is all second hand knowledge though, ask at your unit for the definitive answers.

Sorry to be such a blatant sceptic mate but I do not believe for an instant your in 23 in any capacity if your on a forum asking folk a question like this.
You have zero to prove to me but for the record I do not believe a word of it.
If i am mistaken apologies and good luck.

KP.

Feels great casting aspertions instead of having it done to me for a change! :wink:

well for a start if you were "in" C sqn you wouldnt have to do selection for B and for another if you "were in" you would also know the answer to your question considering there is guys go this route all the time

you are not badged 23 (notice just 23 not 23rd)
which brings me on again no one who has had anything to do with 23 refers to it as 23rd

come on convince us whats the starting letter for the name of C sqn 23's TAC easy peasy even if your a recruit
