Finally got my army commision board starting tomorrow, aargh later today, pretty nervous about the effing psychometric tests and such but looking forward to the army nosh! should be back friday but if before it won’t be a good sign 😕 anyhoo’s wish me luck and hopefully catcha all friday not before!
MMM Army nosh, been a while since I had me some of that 😛 Shame I’ll probably never have it again but bleh hehe.
Pretty much all of my RL m8s joined the Army, some even died, the ones which died young an even bigger shame.
But good luck to you and make sure you’re cannonfodder as soon as possible – that’s where all the fun is at!!

You should think about the RAF with your flying skills 😉iirc he is going to be a medic heil pilot.
Unless thats changed, or i made it up ❓
Good luck Divie.
Don’t worry about that psychometric stuff, just answer ‘kill’ to any question that they ask you and they’ll soon start to think “Hmmm. This young man likes killing. He’s just what we want in the army.”
Good luck mate been a few years since I did what your about to. Just a couple of simple rules mate.
Wear a rubber when meeting locals,
Make sure when in the local bar your never 2 foot away from an ashtray or chair.
And when in Bandit country if it looks out of place or funny don’t go near it.
Also if something makes you look up watch where your treading.That’s about the best advice I can give you, also if there’s any scousers in your barracks lock your stuff away cuz them fookers are TSB’s (joke)
From my own experiences
1.) Never voulenteer for anything, you will be “voulenteered” later
2.) Get a lomg chain & padlock to lock your socks, jocks and other washing to the line, else it will be nicked and you will be pn parade “undressed” and get a fuck-up / beasting fro the PTi/RSM/Cpl
3.) Never ever screw your buddies, you will need them throughout your career
4.) Switch on, and I really mean it, never ever switch off
5.) Never ever leave your rifle unattended
6.) When you go for a shit on an op, take a buddy with you to look out while your pants are down.
7.) Speaking of shit, keep a ready supply of bogroll, you can never have enough, espescially in the boonies, an infected arse from using leaves/sand is not funny at all
8.) Share everything with your buddies, they will share with you in return
9.) Pull your weight, or you will deservedly get a “Blanket Parade” – al la full metal jacket
10.) Keep a supply of cumdums, not only for galloping tarts, but they are usfull for keepingf shit out of your rifle, smokes dry etc etc
11.) Do not use Brasso on your eating utensils when prepping them for inspection, you will shit yourself if you do.
12.) Sleep whenever you can, you will not get much opportunity
13.) Eat when you can, you do not know when the next chow train is comming
14.) Keep water discipline
15.) Bury your shit when in the boonies
16.) Do not piss into a river upstream of where you get your drinking water when in the boonies.
17.) The most important part of your rifle to keep clean is the magazine, that is where most stoppages occur. Keep 3 less round than full capacity, empty the mags weekly and stretch the springs.
18.) Do not tape mags together like the movies, it makes the rifle unweildy and prevents you lying prone properly, also the bottom mag gets shit in it and will jam
19.) Avoid the curried fish in the rat-packs, they will give you the galloping trots
20.) Did I mention bogrol? Its is worth more than gold
21.) On ops, do not drive in the fucking road, thats where the floppies/gooks put their shit
22.) Never enter a TB from the same direction you left
23.) Never setup a TB where you where at last light, eat, then move to another position when it is dark
