Hey

I start my basic training at ITC Catterick in April and will hopefully join The Rifles.

I am wondering if anyone in The Rifles could give me an idea what they are like.

I have no preference for a battalion at this time and I do apolagize if this thread has been done to death already!

Cheers

You have your spot at ITC catterick but you want to go rifles is that what your trying to say?

What are your job choices and have you passed ADSC?

Prepare to get beasted! 1 stop! 2 stop! 3 stop! 'tion!!!!

What are you on about?

He's starting the CIC at ITC(C) in April and will be joining the Rifles as long as he passes the CIC, he would like to know what the Rifles are like, I assume he means what life is like in the different Bns. I suggest you read threads before posting a reply.

good choice mate - great regiment with plenty of experience, no bullshit, they just get on with the job and do things a little bit different to the rest of the Red Coats.

I misread, apologies.

1RIFLES - good if you are fit and want to do your Commando Course.
2RIFLES - hate being in Northern Ireland but they are a proper slack jacket Green Jacket battalion, very experienced.
3RIFLES - most bullshitty if any being ex-LI and ok if you are Jockanese or Geordie.
4RIFLES - great location and being a FIST battalion they get all the gucci kit, very experienced.
5RIFLES - make the most of Germany as an armoured farmer, but they might be the first battalion to go when Germany draws down.
