Twelve years in the Royal Engineers, left after Telic and decided to reclaim my life. Currently working in construction industry but do sometimes miss the lifestyle.

Anyone here serve in 32?

Hey all, new here, although I've been lurking for a little while. Currently a student (graduating next year) and applying to be an officer with the plan being to serve with the Artillery if I'm accepted. Due to attend AOSB briefing early next year.

Hi long time lurker, finally getting around to joining and throwing my two cents worth into some discussions. From a large military family, nearly all of my immediate family have been in the Army at one stage or another and I'm currently in the process of joining - heading to catterick next year hopefully.

Been on here a few months now and havent formally introduced myself yet so here goes.

Ive been in the military in various forms ( ) on and off since 1987. Got 2 years left or 4 if I take VEng and because I'm very aware the clock is ticking thats why I joined arrse. Hope to get good advice on the job and quals front prior to me finishing up.

Enjoying it so far; fights,love-ins,humour,debate,info.... this place has got the lot.


PS I served at 32, but I'm not RE.

hi all,just a few lines to say that I have had my beedy eyes on the site for a while and I like what i see, A bit about me: I am retired,was a white van man for a few years,did nearly 5 years in the force,my hobbies are fishing walking the dog and a bit of reading..

I've been lurking for about a year and a half now. left university this year and i am considering going into the army as an officer although it's not set in stone. Came on to ask a few questions maybe get involved in a few of the threads.

Also a massive fan of arrsepedia, for some reason i can't stop laughing at the description of a horse as a semi insane herbivoure.

jvb1988 you have lurked for 18 months, post once and still have questions. You are prime officer material, what is your question, fire away.












ORs, Im expecting, how do you remove water marks from suede, but expect why does it hurt when I stare at the sun for 10 minutes.

I know i know its extremely poor form but my questions are more of a specific nature more related to me as a person and recent events that may have changed. i.e Is there a higher standard required of potential officers now with the defense cuts announced? can they and are they more picky? which are two of my questions.
