    Why is an airborne wedgehead asking this question?
    You strange little man!

    I joined because I did not want to be a brickie in CRE, or spend 22 years at Marchwood as a shipwright. (If Id known then....)

    I understand that most modern recruits into the RLC are either from Commonwealth Countries, Recruits that failed to achieve their first choice or those who wanted to be chefs but failed their "first star" test at McDonalds!

    Some people join the RLC as they want a trade as well as being a soldier.Also they dont want to stag on at NCP carparks when they leave the Army.

    When I joined the two closest units were RLC and Mounted Cav. I went to visit the RLC unit and was made very welcome. There was a lack of officers at the unit and as I was a 34 ex-reg who had done the bashing around in clanks bit, felt I could better contribute in the RLC. I got loads of stick on my officers course, but I could out tab every one of them, and my fieldcraft was ten times better. :lol:
