I'm in my final year of law at uni in Ireland at the moment, hoping to go into the Irish Guards or the Household Cavalry after (I must confess I like drinking more than I like horses).
Is there still a system whereby candidates that interest the regiments or corps can get sponsorship through Sandhurst from the particular regiment, or is it all a gamble as to where you end up?
I'm considering delaying Sandhurst a year and doing a masters, just wondering is there any point on having a postgraduate degree coming into the army or would I be mad to take on extra student loans?
Also if anyone in the know could tell me what the morale of those units is like right now that'd be much appreciated, as of yet they haven't ended up on FYB so that's a good sign.
