has anyone with a grade C been given a date for basic training?

**mccready** · 19-03-2010, 23:00

I came off selection in glencourse last week and i was told i had 15 days to confirm my job choice in my interview. Since then I have decided to change my job choice from Military Engineer (electrician) to Ammunition Technician.

I was told I'd have to do a specialist interview for my new job choice and I read somewhere i'd have to do another selection.

Could anyone give me information on what will happen next in my process of joining the army and what will happen once I pass phase 1 training?

There are past discussions on this that can be found via the search function. Your recruiter should be the centre of your world too, rather than the net. Pose said questions to him/her.
You pretty much got the idea though. It's not a wise choice to let the nutters have free reign to prod and play on the goodies that go bang, so psychometric testing and things have to be done.

Edit: Sod it, I'll play nice

Have a crack at that for starters. Review the info on the army jobs webby too.

Just got back from my AFCO again and he said artillery have some dates but they prob wont be released untill september starting october to jan!!! im due to start phase one wiv the signals 28th june but i really want artillery. He's told me to hang onto that place and say i want to revert back to my first choice of RA during the training, but its not 100% that its gunna work so im in same boat! let me know if u hear anything more mate.

Hiya mate.

Yeah, been advised September 13th is next intake for Grade A Selectees for RA. My mate has just been given that start date. I'm going in to see the Staff Sgt on Monday to see what the hell I can do, if anything, to get a ticket for the same train, know what I mean? Been a year since application and don't fancy waiting another one. Been told if any places left September, High B Grades MAY be loaded on. So I'm gunna see what my exact selection score was. Thing is, I was in a serious r/ship of 3.5 years at time of selection. This has since ended and I'm certain I heard you drop points if you're in a serious relationship. So want to clear that up. You not heard anymore buddy? Just frustrating ain't it?
