So now you think a degree doesnt teach you how to do your job? Hmm.

A few sessions in the class room? Its more like 60% class room and 40% in the field.

You hate education as a whole, do you think when in YO training you wont be educated in the class room? It's not all in the field you know!

Chas, your always going to have banter between the forces as to whos commission is better than whos! RM officers do a year of pure infantry tactics and the skills needed for an officer. Where as the Army does a year learning how to be an officer, some infantry skills, then a 14 week battle commander...

Re: Discharged and looking for new career

Is Uni worth while? If you are bright enough to go to a decent one and do a worthwhile degree - maths, english, science, etc. - then yes uni can be worthwhile.
