    We started it in Scotland as a progression of the Highland Initiatives that the infantry used to run, as previously mentioned, its now more or less UK wide, with minor 'Winter Challenges' going on as well but for2-3 weeks.

    What is interesting though it that an Infantry Initative is being run this yearinstead of a Winter Challenge, full circle?

    Re: TA Summer Challenge

    i did Summer Challenge back in 2007. Was one of the best holidays i ever had, and considering how long it takes to get through phase 1 via the weekend route it saved my alot of time and provided me with enough money to move out, and for me atleast provided me with alittle more clout to pursue higher goals.

    It has been going on in ulster for the past 2 years but be warned that the £1600 will be considerably less when deductions kick in such as tax etc. On a very good note though one of my friends was able to take his ILAM management course at the evenings and has subsequently landed a great job. He said it was hard enough at the time but having that option was a great bonus.

Spender, 2nd July 1916

    I thought the TA Summer Challenge would be to get ADE and MATTs done before the next round of cutbacks!

    Does the Summer Challenge include CIC for guys that want to go to an Infantry Regiment?
