    DRA gets a good package, however I would suggest Guns first, then Sigs, then OP's

    If your having snack problems i feel bad for ya son. I got 99 cookies cause my bitch ate one


    Hi i used to be with 656 Sqn in the early 90s. PM me if you remember my mate Kev Hughes.


    Momma always says there's an awful lot you could tell about a person by their shoes. Where they're going. Where they've been. I've worn lots of shoes. I bet if I think about it real hard I could remember my first pair of shoes. Momma said they'd take me anywhere. She said they was my magic shoes.

    What level are you now? what are you interested in (militarily)?

    If you want an arduous job, there will be roles. Technical likewise. Closer to infantry - same.

    Think about the mix of equipment too - guns (AS90 or Lt Gun), Air Defence (Rapier and HVM), UAS (Desert Hawk, Hermes 450 soo Watchkeeper), STA (radar, sound ranging etc), command post type roles - signals, C2 etc. FSTs - Fire Support Teams (used to be the FOO and the OP).

    currently a lance corporal maxed out on level 9, didn't promote off the board this year so now seriously considering transferring to RA. I don't mind hard work and whats the following jobs like? Gunner Observation Post, Gunner Special Observer, or I am considering 29 Cdo Regt.

    Any idea if I would have to start from scratch in terms of rank and what would happen to my pay? Would it get cut or would I stay on same wage?
