Firstly I was wondering if anyone knows what the current shift patterns are for the RMP? Is it constantly working as a shift or do you sometimes revert to a Mon-Fri 9-5 role?

Also curious as to how quick promotion is relative to say a trade in the RE? as well as how available are tours for RMP?

Finally wondering is there the opportunity as an RMP soldier to become an RMP officer once you reach the rank of sergeant if you excel.

Cheers

my mate that is in the army spoke to a rmp before and said its 2 earlys 2 lates and 2 days off !

And auto promotion out of phase 2 training to lance corpral which you probs know already.

Hi mate,
The shift pattern differs from Company to Company, dependent on Op Herrick etc, if you reach the criteria you can commission. PM me if you want more info.

Q

@BarmyArmyLad1. Shift patterns vary in different units. You could be doing Early/Mids/Lates, you could 12 hour day shift 12 hour night shift all depends on the unit your at. You could be employed in a UIE / Office role. Where thats 9-5.2. You pick up Lance Corporal straight after phase 2 training has finished. Do well and you'l be looking at getting Class 2 Corporal around your 2 year point.... However i have read they extending this until more relevant courses have been completed.3. When and if you do reach the rank of Sergeant you can apply for LE (Late Entry). Dependant on your current age. If your wanting to do the Officer route but dont have the grades you can always put your letter into your Regiments CO apply for Commission.Joycey.
