Catterick sticky 2020 - all Catterick chat in here

I’d suggest bringing your own iron and from what I’ve heard from my army careers advisor you can only take an iron with a max wattage of 1200w so be aware of that but it’s up to him whether he wants to bring his own ironing board as there is some there until he gets the chance to buy one during training. Hope this helps a bit

I’m not too sure but I’m sure if you’ve forget simple things, then sure but I’d make sure to bring everything you need that’s on the list. You do get some time to shop a bit at Tesco’s and that but depends what you need

A lot less people joining atm so might just be easier to get a place I think...

In my form I wasn’t able to put a time of arrival at the station so will there just be someone there waiting or will they call before to check?
