"Uni"

So who's off to uni in a few weeks?

Having reconciled the fact that I'm not about to sign my life away to the military (assuming they'd have me) and that I've had enough of full time education, I have considered using some of my free time to indulge my interests in the armed forces.

Yes, you guessed it, the TA.

That way I'd get a taste of the military life without committing.

I'm sure anyone working in the regular armed services would find this laughable, that's certainly the impression I got from my friends in the Army and a mate of mine in the RAF.

Having thought hard about it though, although I love the idea of military life, I'm really not sure I could live it 24/7. If that makes any sense.

I guess I just want the freedom to move jobs as and when I am able to.

What about the office positions, or are they not available until you've had more experience at the lower ranks?

And just how competitive are we talking here, on the engineering side?

Did you spell it for them? Some of them are a bit slow on the uptake and would have thought you meant a black board cleaner.

And yes, I do need chock-removers. Here's what happened to my last one: [URL]http://jmcmtank.com/images/mil/secret.jpg[/URL]

No, got a student house!

It all depends on what you apply for Icky. For their engineering side of things they'll take you on if you're smart.

For the cannon fodder side, if you meet a certain physical standard, they'll beat you into a better one.

I rang the RAF and asked if they needed a 'chock-remover'. they said they'd call me.

Five now. Don't get me wrong, I love the flying side of it. I still get a kick every time I take off, every time I get to play with clueless Americans. But the problem is there isn't enough of that and things change. Nowadays, I think could get used to the routine of a 9-5 and possibly being a family man. I've had my fun. I don't know if I'd want it when I'm 40.

Unless you're subtly saying they won't accept me, simple as.

I can be one of the best....
