I love it how techies get a ring and suddenly think they're of higher rank******* losers lol
I don't mind being labelled as a tech, because we may not be of higher rank, but we're higher pay band

Getting fit.. ter
I've been hitting the weights hard the last month or 2, when I get back next week I'll be caning the cardio and 1.5mile runs.
Got a pre entry development day the day after my oath, which is basically a way for the recruiter to see where people are fitness wise and a general heads up on phase 1. So aiming to impress on that day too

Depends what you go in as, I'm learning a trade so takes longer.
Everyone does an initial 14week basic training, but even then Infantry still do longer training after 14weeks.

Yeh, 14weeks basic, 9weeks combat engineer, then 30/40 trade training.
Obviously there will be time between each stage so not sure how long it will be
As far as I'm aware, obviously I don't know exactly how it all works till I do it

So has there been any hard info on how the armed forces are going to cut spending due to the budget cuts? I'm interested to know how it will effect recruitment, I know that the armed forces is already at/near capacity so I would expect recruitment to take even long or simply start turning away lots of people.
Find out in October
I'm coming to the end of my training, I started in 3rd of May... 2009 lol. Off to Germany in a few months, can't wait to get there, then Afghan in Nov 2011.
Depends on what trade you go for, but you can expect to be in training for at least a year with a lot of trades, if you include basic training and what not.
