Alright chaps and chapesses

Any ideas how i can justify going on a snipers course if im being traded as a driver with the REME, not that i want to be a sniper, just personell experience for myself. Oh and before i forget i chose REME because of my civie quals and expertise

Cheers..........

In Bordon I believe there is 145 Vehicle Recovery(Sniper) Bn REME(V). perhaps you could transfer to them first?

IIRC the closest you can get in the TA is the Sharpshooters course and with the introduction of the L129 to the regs the TA may(yeah right) follow suit, if that is the case then the need for the course will out strip the places available so priority will go to inf units and not OA&S even those attached to the inf.

You can be a sniper with 49 Para, if you PM Scarletto he is the SME on 49 Para. And can tell you if you can cross train with them as a REME Driver and sniper due to their specialist role.

Hope this helps

The Corps of Royal Electrical & Mechanical Engineers does not have a driver trade, are you sure you are not joining a REME unit as an RLC driver

They've merged now, it's the prelim to the forthcoming defence review when a manpower shortage in the Pare Regt when the Red Freds become the Red Fridas with Capt 'Jan' as their OC.

You heard it here first...
