Well, I know I'm probably going to get slagged for this, but here goes.
I've been thinking about applying for a commission for about a year or so, and I just have a few questions to ask.
But first, a bit of background.
I'm a R. Sigs corporal with six years served (23 at the moment), I have 10 GCSE's and am currently studying for two A-Levels, with predicted grades of B/B (Psychology and Physics).
I would be looking to either commission into (the right term?) the R. Sigs, or the Int. Corps, and (hopefully) make a full career out of the Army.
I'd rather ask on here than speak to my RCMO about it, as it's really only an idea I'm mulling over at the moment.
Anyway, onto the questions.
i) I'd imagine my first step WOULD be to go through the RCMO and inform him/her that I would like to 'start the ball rolling'. But, having no recommendation that I apply for a commission; are they in their right to give me the royal 'feck off'?
ii) I've been trying to find answers on the Army website, and either I'm being thick (possible) or it's been buried somewhere. What would be the process that I would need to follow?
iii) When do I get to sign out a girlfriend called Cynthia?
Any and all (serious) advice much appreciated.
