Guys,
Ok, so I've grown up knowing I wanted to join RAC - got family ties going WAY back etc . Tanks is where my passion is, I love tanks, and everything about them!
However, ever since I had my 1st interview with my Sergeant at ACIO, and then at the BARB, and then my Staff Sergeant interview too, I've been strongly advised to look to Sigs/RE/Int Corps for other roles because I'm (their words) "too good for Cavalry" - my journal notes from both Sgts also say 'potential to be an officer' and other notes like that, the Staff Sergeant has noted that he is "extremely uncomfortable" with my job choice and wants the PSO to talk me out of it.
So, I need help from people who don't me from Adam - am I 'wasting potential' by joining RAC or should I follow my passion?
Some of the RE/Sigs jobs that have been printed for me DO sound very interesting (Armourer/Ammo Tech etc), but it isn't tanks at the end of the day. Niether's Int Corps.
I'm a bit lost, tanks are all I ever wanted to do, but am I going to regret not doing something else? Is Tanks really a challenging job? Do you need to use your brain a lot?
ANY help would be greatly, greatly, appreciated.
