hhhhmmmm...

I'm in TA (RLC), and have been in since November 2004. I may join the RMR later this year, and I hope I don't get into this discharge cr*p, because their (being the TA) quick to try and send you on this course and that course, but not quick to let you go...! They tell you different things when you f...

Sounds like fun...

Where did you get this info from, if you don't mind me asking?

:D HA!!! I come from Birmingham and have a Birmingham accent... It's just when people hear me and they're not from Birmingham and they assume we all speak the same! They are usually supprised when they find out I am a born-n-raised brummie, and think we all speak the local dialect found towards the ...

Brian-

I had the same problem trying to view it in Firefox!

If you try and view it in Internet Explorer it should work, ok!

Hope this helps, and is your problem, sorted!

Yeah, it was pretty good, in my opinion.

What are people's thoughts on this "career after the forces" option?

What about that guy locked up...He seemed to be doing well for himself in the so-called prison!

Cheers for that

Just an enquiry on to what the SF swim test entails? I can swim, but i'm gonna need to get in the pool over the next few months before the September intake for 23rd. I just wanna know what the swim test entails and what swimming they do throughout the course. What stroke do you have to do and, do yo...

Thanx for the help spooky, but I just wanna know if anyone has experienced the same things happening to other people (or themselves)!!!

Maybe not as far as NY but in getting Financial Aid and extravagent travelling expenses, paid for!!

I have recently joined the TA as a specialist at RLC in Grantham. At the moment I have completed my TAFS training and awaiting my Recruits Course Dates, but I also have been accepted into university and do not want any of them to clash. The problem is the university that accepted me is in New York U...

Good luck mate!

Have you ever thought of being a bootie officer?
