What made you leave if you dont mind me asking i know everyone has their own reasons for leaving but what was it that made you decide to?

Also What Rank did you get to before you left?

Did you enjoy it and would you consider going back in again??

I just decided that I had had enough, and I wanted to become a pt. Joining up was the best decision i have ever made, seen and done so much you wouldn't believe mate. I got to lance corpral, which is about average for my trade. You cant make full corpral untill you complete your class 1 trade course but then you have to sign on for another 18 months.

I have considered going back in many times since i left especially as they offer 6 grand as a bribe to re join! Dont think i eva will tho

Chris4Pez

so if you have been in the army they now offer you an additional 6k to go back in as my friend use to be in and i dont think he knows that you can get that!

How did you become a PT was it in the army or outside it?

The bounty is only for certain trades. Its put there because there is a massive shortage of class 2 tradesmen within the Corps, yeah was a PTI for a few years then the army paid for me to get my PT quals for my re settlement package.

Only 1 in 10 applicants are successful, of the successful one's only 50% pass training. So yes is the answer to your question.

Chris no you can't do the medical forms until you start an application, an average application takes 3 months, so there is plenty of time to get fit. Keep asking Johnboy questions about the REME as he is giving you some good info and he will know more about the REME jobs than me. The bottom line is that it will be hard for you with your young family so serious thought is needed. And at this stage don't concern yourself with the different jobs as you may not even be able to do those jobs.

1. Have a serious think about if its what you want to do.
2. If it is get the application started asap.
3. After your BARB test then think about different jobs.
4. Get running.

As for the jobs there is good and bad about all jobs, the most important thing is that you are happy at work, pay and quals are secondary as you will get retrained when you leave anyway.

Get yourself running! Don't bother with weights, it will only cut into your recovery time.

And when you're not running, swim!


My Army application started today

Now Now guys keep it civil and i know that it is hard to get in but again people don't necessarily fail to get in they get deferred i think the name is( which means they just come back ) but yes people do fail to get in its not as easy as people think thats why the British army can be called the best!

Also i do know they do turn people away as i was in the career center the other day and i saw the career team turn away at least 2 or 3 people which is quite a lot considering i wasn't in there for that long, don't know why but yet again it just shows that they d turn people away and don't just accept everyone!

Also just as an update i do need to think of 3 different career options as i was told when i went in and again they said that the barb and also something else will decide on what jobs i can do but the technical ones also require certain different tests after as well, but the different jobs i have thought about are as follows;

MP (been thinking of this one for a while), Aircraft Tech (army guy told me about this), Ammo Tech (saw it on the dvd they gave me) and also been looking at port operator but don't know yet about this one it was only that you get all different licenses and also get posted to a regular place rather than keep getting moved so should be stable for my son (even though i don't think i would enjoy this personally though)
