    Decision Time: London Regiment / 7 Rifles / 106 Regiment RA

    I hate to be one of these people that asks for others opinions, ultimately I realize it's my decision. I'm Canadian and new to London so I'm trying to find the best fit in terms of a TA unit. I'm ex Canadian Army (5th Field Royal Canadian Artillery).

    The only unit I've actually been too was 7 Rifles F Company, and I was really impressed. I would like to have a look at London Scottish, and 106 RA (mainly because I've been a gunner for years).

    Anyone part of these units or have experience with them? Opinions (and banter) welcome, just easy on the Canadian jokes ok? Cheers lads.

    I wish you all the best of luck mate. I personally spoke to Rifles in my area and they seem to be a great bunch of lads.

    If you have been a gunner for years try the HAC. They offer a slightly different role and look at life in the Army/TA.

Avoid excessive sharpness or harshness of voice, which usually indicates the man who has shortcomings of his own to hide."

    Cheers man, I did check them out but it wasn't really what I was hoping. I might look into 106 RA or just go Rifles instead as they seem like a solid battalion.
