I'm joining the TA, selection in January <diva>

The thought of Tash joining makes me laugh (<laugh>) because my mental image consists of him looking like this

The Muslim's religion believe it's ok to terrorize and kill people if they don't believe in allah, and if they bomb a building and die in the process they get rewarded with enough **** to last them eternity.

Don't read the daily mail so much. It doesn't say that any more (or less) than christianity does

Hmmm, maybe you should stop making ignorant assumptions about people you've never met.

I'm 6ft and 12 stone, and I'm not weak. You can ask the people on this forum who have met me in real life.

I can't stop thinking of Ed Byrne and his stand up sketch about whenever someone mentions they are in the TA.

Cracks me up every time.
 
I wouldn't personally.

Watch out, the recruitment officers lie. It's they're job to make you think it's the best decision you'll ever make.

If you join then you should do so knowing you will be shot at, joing a military operation and believing anything else is foolish.

They're cutting jobs across the board, but still recruiting heavily... doesn't matter what you go in for. Cheap wages & front-line.

Depends what your hopes are for the future and what you can realistically expect to get out of life. They prey heavily on people who are disgruntled or feel helpless in their circumstances.

I would only join if Britain (and my family and friends by extension) was under direct threat.
 
I remember when you asked about manual labour jobs like working in a factory, and look where that got you. Now you want to join the armed forces. You make me laugh xD. Lazy ****.

Oh, and good luck getting on the ladder in pretty much any office when you get back, irrelevant of what qualifications they offer you.

Bit harsh that like. Mate of mine went through basic with me, transferred to Army Air Corps from Infantry, has now flown Apaches for 10 years, he's coming out in about 4 months after doing his full 21 years and has several companies already banging on his door offering him work. Also know a guy who was in Royal Ordinance Corps now is building manager of the Gherkin in London. Just need to do the right courses etc

I'm just wondering if there's anyone on here that's served in the army?

I just have a few questions.

How fit do you need to be before joining?

At the moment i can run 2 miles before needing to stop for a rest, and my overall workout consists of me running around 3 miles in about 35 minutes.

How long are you in training before you actually leave for Afghanistan/Iraq or where ever your country needs you?

What are the other recruits like?

Are they all supportive and friendly or are they tough on you?

Just wondering because the last few years I've been considering joining up.

P.S. Please don't move this to the gen chat board, i don't want ****ers like Edge posting their racist and offensive comments on it. <ok>
