Hi all, I am am an Ex Soldier (29), previously in the RLC as a Driver, Served 6 years and left as a Lance jack, I have been out now since returning from the gulf in 2003 (quite some time now). I am looking to join the TA as I miss the regs but unfortunatly have tried to rejoin twice and have been unsuccessful :( My question is about deployments, I am not bothered about these as I have been just about everywhere while in the regs, but I am at the moment in full time further education at college, and I am concerned that if i were deployed either peace keeping or war which ever, would I have to go? My concerned rests with my college education nothing more, so please no comments saying "man up" or "dont join if you dont want to deploy" because that just isnt helpful. Many thanks in advance Paul

Thought you'd been everywhere, if you don't know any of these select locations, you
may consider editing your 1st Post.

Omg are you serious?? ever heard of a figure of speech? (everywhere - not to be taken literally noone in the forces has been literally EVERYWHERE) but thanks for your ever so helpful contribution!

Are you being a Bully ?
I'll lay odds that the guy you mention..noone, hasn't been literally everywhere, either.

Paul, you will only be deployed at present when you volunteer to deploy. There have been no compulsory mobilisation (generally speaking) for some years. If you volunteer for deployment and are selected to go then yes you would have to go. Hopefully this answers your question.

On a seperate note please be aware that although you will (eventually) get the advice you seek through these forums you need to have a sense of humour! Also you may wish to reconsider your profile name and your avatar, from the information it contains I already have access to your previous service records, your address and phone numbers (and it wasn't very difficult). Remember PERSEC.
