As an aditional question for the TA, I know the local unit I wnt to join 131 Independent Commando Squadron Royal Engineers as I did engineering (GNVQ Adv) at college and computer systems at Uni.
I know the engineering covers a mulitude of roles, within a TA centre do you get a choice as to what role you train for, or is it we need X so learn to do this?

Standby!
Keeping a low profile in regards this. Fitness is increasing steadily, working on things like posture as well etc.
Mentally I've started reading around the whole topic a lot more, putting myself forward for leading assignments, being more vocal etc.
Going to apply for officer next year, hopefully in the best of form.

p.s speaking of which (not influenced by the feminist thread at all), why are women still not allowed on the front lines or in certain other roles?
Royal navy medics (female filthy nurses
) do go out on protrol.Oh aye, I understand it's more a formality now, but it does seem strange it hasn't been rescinded.
Though I'm not sure if it's the same in the regular army but in the OTC, women had a far less strict entry requirements.
Surely the roles the role?

No? It's all commando support bar the rifles down here in plym. But that's not surprisingly really.
Any specific reason why?
Unless its to do with your sig? I guess you might be a para!

Don't worry about the Psych test, as long as you get over half of them right you'll be fine. Officers need about 70%, but again, shouldn't be too hard. There are plenty of test papers on the internets, just remember to time yourself.

Only thing I was worrying/thinking about is the water filled culvert. I'm not a fan a small spaces at times.

I'm sure if you've got any questions about the AACC, Castiel could probably help answer as be was a proper bootneck (Marine).
As for the Army side of what you're looking at, there are plenty of Army guys around here too.
