In the sticky threads could we have a seperate thread for PO's arriving at sandhurst soon needing advice and one for those at the factory for banter chat etc...?

I am currently a student finishing my Post-Graduate course at university in September. I have an Undergraduate Degree and will also be in the possession of two Post-Graduate Master's qualifications. Qualifications have been obtained at either Oriel College, Oxford, and University College, London respectively. All are in Classics and Classical Art. I realise I do not hold what would be considered 'practical' qualifications, yet I am of the opinion that they are useful and relevant nevertheless.

I am extremely interested in joining the British Army as an Officer, and have been in correspondence with my local recruiters about the prospect. However, despite my urging, they often steer clear of questions which hopefully you may be able to shed some light on.

I wish to ask whether having excessive qualifications for entry into the Army will have an impact on:

A) My acceptance into RMAS (fitness aside).
B) Whether it will affect which regiments are accessible to me (I have been told you must be sponsored through RMAS).
C) (Most Importantly) Will my qualifications be realised, and will this in turn affect future promotion opportunities.

Thank you Gentlemen.

Oh dear. Interesting thread to post this in. Stand by.

PS: Yes, the Army is dreadfully scared of people with qualifications because it is full of sub-100-IQ morons whose penises shrivel in the presence of MA-holding geniuses. As soon as your fellow officers find out about your background, they will do their best to make your life miserable and attempt to drive you to suicide. Secretly, they will admire your superior intellect and dream of bearing your babies.

The advice threads are quite long - would it be an idea to put some of the info in a "FAQ" section in Arrsepedia?
