Call me naive but what oath do we take, and why?

An Oath to the Queen :wink:

On Topic: I was in exactly the same boat earlier Shawlee(I'm from Norfolk) but after talking to my recruiter about it on an AFCO visit I was convinced mechanized might not be so bad. I'm still mulling over the question but as far as I can tell going for 2 R Anglian from a Norfolk recruiter isn't that much of a big issue.

Best head down to magdalen street and see what they say though I think :)

What stage are you at? I'm thinking more and more that I'll be headed that way as well. Hoping to do ADSC in the next month or two here :)
