    Why has it taken some people over a year to join the infantry?

    I just saw that someone got a grade B at selection and started basic almost a year after selection? I was told the other day if i get a high B or A ill be in by May, and i still have another interview and then Lichfield?

    Your recruiter wasnt in the RLC and said you could get in faster if you were a driver, by any chance ?

    Not to seem pathetic but whats RLC? and nope, i have good gcse grades and a high barb score and good results at pre-ADSC but I'm very curious here because one of the reasons [main word being one] im joining the infantry is because it is a much quicker process of joining.

    The reason I asked was, that some recruiters are from certain capbadges and try to fill a quota and get you in their area of the Army.

    Going to the Inf isnt nessacery the quickest entry point,

    RLC = Royal Logistic Corps (Ammo Techs, Chefs, Posties, Drivers, Suppliers..few more)

    You're joining the infantry as it's the fastest way to get into the army? If that career is what you want to do go for it, but waiting a bit isn't going to kill you if at the end of it you get a job you'll enjoy a lot more.

    Fair enough, no harm intended, i can relate to the waiting side of things!
    @Nato, not quite sure what you're getting at with highlighting that, an unfortunate choice of words perhaps, but it's not like i was suggesting do something different because you might get killed.
