Try using the 'Search' you'll find a lot covered already.

Go to your nearest TACs and have a chat.

I joined as an undergrad.

Go to one near uni.

Oh, and learn some grammar, my PC has just puked.

Join the University Officer training corps instead. It fits in with term time better, it will take up less time in general and you'll still get the uniform so you can show off to all the uni slags and get BJ's.

It takes the best part of a year to get though phase 1 and 2 training in the TA and it a big comitment, the UOTC is quicker and they will be more sympethetic of your study schedule.

UOTC is the smart way to go

How would it effect my studies? how often/likely a i to be mobilized? i would like to be mobilized, but if it takes 6 months out of studying its just going to delay joining up as a regular officer further, and perhaps end up too old to join in the end, depending how much i miss etc. At this point in time, i am about to turn 18 in June, so i am still young, but it will take years for college and uni. When i try to join the regulars in future, i would aim to join as a para. So i would probably be aiming for 4 para with the T.A, however, it depends on lots of things.. if i would be better off doing a trade route in the T.A, it would give me skills and a longer time in training, so i wont miss studying and i will be able to join full time a better and more rounded man.. What would you advise? any answers are much appreciated.

Fuck off.

i have heard about the uotc, but i want to go to study computer science , hopefully at Edinburgh if i can work hard enough, so i dont think its an option.
sorry about the grammar, i have the mother of all headaches at the moment.

@ Biscuits_AB, why ?

I've heard it's full of blokes called Toby and Tristan who think that as a 3rd year they are experts on everything army.
