lol, Overmanned i never thought i ever see the day.Legs said:These days you'd be very lucky to get one. The Army is now officially overmanned.
Under S-Type engagements you were discharged from the TA and joined the Regulars on a limited 'Special Enlistment'. FTRS is in effect a mobilised posting to the Regular Army i.e. your TA enlistment remains unbroken. I'm sure there's a more comprehensive definition on the ArmyNet site somewhere.EX_STAB said:What is/was the difference between an "S" type (which I remember from twenty odd years ago) and FTRS?

While it is considered as a career posting for an individual in the TA and should hold the individual in good stead for his ontinuing TA career, it is not structured in such a way as to offer an FTRS career. Therefore, it is unlikely that an individual will be promoted while serving on FTRS. However, in exceptional cases the following rules are to apply:
