TBH though i am now looking at different things that i can do i know that this would be a good thing for me to do but so would any techi job and to be honest i have been told by the guys in the army recruitment office that i would be better to get a job in a techi place as it will be better in Civi Street compared to just joining the RMP, and after all it is basically down to what is going to be good for me and also my family as already said! I have also been told about something called an Ammo Tech as well which has got good fast promotion and also has got good possibilities of travel and postings, well thats what they told me again in the army careers place and i cant see them having any reason for lying! The only thing i have got to do now is start an application so i can do the barb and see if am eligible to do these jobs as its all down to that apparently so we will have to wait and see! Does anyone on here know anything bout either Ammo Tech or RLC give me some feedback on either of these please?????

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Re: Training for the army to be honest thats what they are on about but i don't know if i will stay in for longer but i also like the perks of the job as well as the pension scheme and also the "GOLDEN HANDSHAKE" i have been told about if you serve for a certain period of time which is basically 50k tax free which sounds nice! TBH though i am going in for a number of reasons mainly cus i have wanted to since i was younger and i know it will eat at me if i don't go in and also i know that i want to travel a lot and also get a career and at my age this is one of the only ways that i am going to be able to do it and at the same time support my family!!!!! I am now looking at all the tech jobs but the ones that have took my notice is Ammo Tech as well as Aircraft Tech which i mentioned before, but if i do that Ammo Tech i don't know what i can use that for in Civi Street????

Don't believe it, they will often try and push you in the direction they want... (obviously not all though)

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Re: Training for the army yes i have looked at these but tbh non of these have really took my fancie and tbh i want something that i am going to enjoy while in the army not just out of it, and thats why they suggested this to me. I am only planning on going in for a while but who knows i may enjoy it and then want to stay for longer! I just dont know what Ammo Tech could offer me in Civi street though as this is one thing i am getting confused about as i know what all the other jobs could offer me in Civi street but i dont know about Ammo Tech. I also want to be able to travel and also do sport especially rugby and PL as i love weights but unfortunately the army does not allow BB as s sport as it is not recognized!

![]() | Re: Training for the army just cos your a brickie etc does not mean you do it. i know that some regt go all over the world building schools, thats the times you use your trade. like i said i was a fitter and posted too bomb disposal im out now and choose not to carry on with fitting but i know a few lads who were plummers who never touched the trade once. now they are out doing plumming earning decent money ammo tech wont offer much at all, if your going to do this i think you need to have a good think. i know you say you want to travel and i did place like kenya, new zealand etc but i have a daughter now and after 6 months in iraq then been told in 1 years time i'll be in afgan missing the firsts of daughters life that was it for me. sport in the army is great. just choose carefully and i would do your our research. if you have a family have a good long think before you choose, travelling will put a big strain you your family.
