Hi, im stating phase 1 soon for a driver/port operator and was told by my careers office after i pass out i would do 11 weeks at leconfield then 11 weeks at marchwood. Although since the capita takeover etc, i have since been told on the army website and army jobs facebook page that i will be doing 9 weeks at HMS raleigh and then 14 weeks at leconfield? Im a bit confused now cos my office say they are right and so does the online office? Any help from someone who might have some sort of idea wud be much apprieciated. ]]> RLC AshWright1982 http://www.arrse.co.uk/rlc/198916-driver-port-operator-phase-2-a.html Natty braces for brave ammo techs? http://www.arrse.co.uk/rlc/198684-natty-braces-brave-ammo-techs.html Sun, 12 May 2013 16:44:16 GMT I saw these on Amazon and thought they would be ideal for ATs to wear as part of their mess kit.

THE AAT has recently been trying to flog AT watches at only about £350 a piece. Why would any AT need a watch as they all know that the world revolves around them.

I have searched the web but can't seem to find much information relating to this regiment, is there anyone out there who would be able to give some advice on any of my questions below?


I have applied to join and just waiting for the online BARB test to come through, what score would I need for Seaman/navigator trade?


Also if I was to pass ADSC with a high grade what would be the next likely intake for phase 1 training?


What does Phase 2 training involve and how long is it?


Once at the regiment, what are the deployments like?, to where?, Onboard what? How long/often?


What are the promotion prospects? and civilian qualification gained?


I must add that I am already a qualified MCA commercial skipper in civilian life.


Im just trying to get as much info as I can for my job choices between 17 p&m or the Royal Anglian Regiment as an infantry man.


thanks in advance! ]]> RLC jaydee85 http://www.arrse.co.uk/rlc/198572-17-port-maritime.html Chef http://www.arrse.co.uk/rlc/198051-chef.html Sat, 27 Apr 2013 15:52:35 GMT Good afternoon,

I am in need of some advice. I have read thread after thread and have a few unanswered queries I’d appreciate if you could answer.

I am interested in becoming a chef.
Firstly, what is the cooking like – is it varied/feature differing cuisines, fresh produce or from frozen, from scratch, and without offending, is it nice?
Is there an opportunity to have an input on menu suggestions or is it set by those higher up?
Does the budget heavily limit what can be offered?
Is the training on par with that outside the forces – if I ever came to leave, would it stand me in good stead to either gain employment or open my own establishment?
And what duration is the training?
Does anyone know what the work schedules look like – a big benefit of joining up would be the sport and fitness provision, so I was wondering if the shifts interfere with participation.
Finally, the RAF has opened recruitment. What would you say are the main differences between them and the Army, and which would you advise as the best option. I’m assuming the army specialise more in field catering?

I understand that opinions will vary between services, but any advice would be appreciated.
I have looked through countless threads and asked the advice of my local recruiter, but his responses were extremely limited as he had no experience or knowledge beyond the job description.

Thank you for your time, I apologise for the number of questions and anything else you may deem appropriate would be appreciated,

But, whats this i hear that around £3k of it is spent on the RSM's Cadre of which they run about 2 a year if i remember correctly?
Now obviously to be a RSM you have to be
1. A Trog (well come on, most of them are)
2. Love shiny pacesticks even if they are not the correct ones.
3. Ceased all trade activity after the Class 2 Cse.
4. And of course in the 1 DPS!

My thinking then is if you are a WO1 and remained in the trade stream then are we not missing out on the money we paid in because we dont attend the RSM course? I thought the 1 DPS was run along the same methodology as the PRI fund in that its available for the good and benefit of all the Regt and not just selected few? ]]> RLC CH512O http://www.arrse.co.uk/rlc/197118-1-days-pay-scheme-mmmm.html Royal Logistic Corps 20 years old 05-04-2013 http://www.arrse.co.uk/rlc/196933-royal-logistic-corps-20-years-old-05-04-2013-a.html Tue, 02 Apr 2013 18:27:48 GMT As its the RLC 20th birthday on Friday I would like to celebrate the day with past and present Loggies with their memories of our beloved corps...
