Why not ask the person who has looked out for your application since day one?????
Your Recruiter
Rather than coming on the net and listening to some stranger who doesnt have a clue!!

Why don't you just sit back and wait, your recruiter is probably running around trying to appease loads of other potential recruits and if he has given you an answer (or not) then he probably doesn't know himself.

If you have your date for Phase One then you must already have you job choice set??
If your recruiter doesnt want to talk to you then ask for the office Manager!!!
I have a feeling your one of those recruits that steps through the door every other day to ask a question.

Your recruiter has between 50 and 80 applicants at various stages and needs to spread himself quite thin.
You are now in so your the least of his worries!
What do you want to know about job choices is it possibly something you could maybe find on the Armyjobs website??

Your first post comes across as a child, and as I said if your recruiter is not talking to you ask for the office manager!!
If this is your attitude your going to go far in the Army!!!!
Five times
initial interview 1
Barb 2
first interview 3
second interview 4

so you have been to see him once then???? and once he said he couldnt see you???

So have you looked on Armyjobs???
Surely by now you should know what job you want to do??

You have your date for Phase One??? have you done attestation yet?? normally done 2 weeks before you go.
So you went in and you were told he wont see you? Having worked in recruiting I find this highly unlikely. or did someone tell you he was maybe busy. did you ask one of the other recruiters if you could ask some questions?

What are the questions you need answers too? Am sure somewhere within the whole application it has already been answered!
post your questions and I will try to answer them.

Aslong as its not Pay/location,duration of Phase One/location, duration of Phase Two/description of job/length of service/married quarters/Regiments you may join/Para or Commando training/travel/holidays. all of which will have been covered.

My question is what is the job choice i've been accepted for as my job choice 1,2,3 where all royal engineers and on my acceptance all it say is RE And it says I'm going cAtterick but all royal engineers I know have gone bassingbourn ?? so that's why I wanted to speak to him but everytime me or my mrs either phone or walk in he is always unavalible

That's why I needed to speak to him I have plenty other questions but would fine answers to them myself
