I applied for an RM Commission back in Sep 07, but messed up on the RT, where I passed for Rating entry but just missed out on Officer entry. To be fair though, my mechanical comprehension and non-verbal reasoning score were quite low because I just didn't put the revision in before hand. So I decided to leave it for a while and concentrated on my A-Levels.
Got 260 UCAS points from Eng Lang, Eng Lit and History and had my eye on the 2009 or 2010 Batch. But during the summer I decided that I wanted to go to Uni so applied and got an unconditional offer to study English and English Language (Joint Honours) and the University of the West of England. Dead chuffed with that but here's my real problem: I'm so bored and unmotivated. I work full time at Morrisons, which is fine before I go to Uni but a killer when you think Uni is about 9 months away!
I thought about joining the RMR whilst at Uni (Plymouth is in Bristol RMR so should be ok with Uni) but seem unsure if this is the right path. If I was to go RMR, I doubt I would go reg officer, doing training again would be a nightmare! But I also seems unsure whether this is the right move because of commitment required over Uni. But I think the over-riding problem is that I don't think I have this 'innate ability' to be an Officer, I'm just not sure if I'm the right kind of person. I was wondering if any other people had similar issues (

I want to be an RM Officer but I just don't know if I can do it.
None of this actually makes sense, I'm just trying to convey what I'm thinking into text. Don't think it's working!!!!
Arrrrrrggggghhhh!
Any advice?
I'm a mong- never underestimate the RT! It doesn't do much for your confidence or self esteem!
