Your TRHJ record will be cloned but you will start the whole process again, new Application pack, BARB , Basic Skills and a new RG8 (your old RG8 will be requested aswell from Westbury and sent to the ADSC to assess with your new RG

Just use the skills you have already got from your Briefing/Main board especially on team tasks. The applicants I have had who failed AOSB normally are good but dont go through the process with a Im better than the rest of you attitude as you will fall flat on your face.

Whilst hoping to not appear lazy - I have looked but can't seem to find a reliable answer - when entering as an Ammo Tech, are you automatically in line for IED disposal or do some ammo techs work purely on storage/distribution or ammo?

Wouldn't dream of it just looking forward to get things cracking, I'm 23 and not getting any younger.

Regarding the RG8, I called aca and Bristols ACIO yesterday and was told they will just call Westbury and get my medical, seeing as its only been a few weeks. Or do they just request your medical clearance?

Every Ammo Tech is expected to know about storage, inspection, repair, the numerous ammo systems, Conventional Munition Disposal, and a wealth of other ammo related criteria. This is a requirement to pass the initial course.

IED Disposal is a qualification first accessible at Sgt for operators (you can be a No2 on a team as a LCpl/Cpl). You don't have to be qualified as an IEDD operator to have a full career as an AT, but gaining the qual opens more possibilities within the trade and is a requirement for some posts.
