Well after 2 years of my application being active, I've FINALLY been given a start date of May 4th, so in 10 days I'll be embarking on my life career and I can't wait

so happy.

Cheers for the thanks guys

.

Joining the Royal Signals as a Communication Systems Engineer. And once all my training is out the way and I've done a tour and served with my unit for a year or two, going to apply 216 Royal Signals Parachute Regiment, try something a bit more hardcore lol.

Also, I heard a myth about the RAF, just wondering if you RAF types can clear it up.
I heard the RAF have actually achieved something?
Must be a myth though...

Damn Crabs

You won't be saying that when they are the ones dropping you out of planes after Pcoy. Not to mention when your begging for air support from a Tornado in Afghan. I served 6 years in 2nd Bat Royal Anglians (poachers). Believe me , the RAF do more than their fair share. Not to mention the RAF regt soldiers , they get stuck in like any other infantry regt and rival the paras.

I know I know, was only messing around

. We're all one big team really, still, have to take the **** out of the other forces, part of the the job

Nothing wrong with being a Pongo, we did set up the breweries remember

Dowie, fortunately, I've already been though half of basic training 3 years ago, but got MD'ed, so I know what to expect, and how(not) to act

.

It was funny seeing some of the younger lads referring to the Sgt as 'sarge' in the first few weeks, good old beasting they ended up receiving hah.

Bloody ell. Only 8 & 1/2 hours till I leave for an enjoyable 5 1/2 train journey down to Pirbright. I won't be able to sleep tonight, probably not until around 5 minutes before I have to wake up heh. Hopefully the base will have some 3G signal so I can access the web and keep up with these forums lol.

Good god, this is SO much easier this time around compared to last time. It's either I'm more confident in myself, or the nanny state is having a biggrer impact on training lol.

In an awesome section of 12 guys, getting on extreemly well. Other sections in our troop are ****poor but ah well lol.

Miss having internet access, barly get GSM network, never mind EDGE or 3G, so my iPhone is mostly just an iPod now heh. Makes doing the ironing a bit more fun lol.
