Okay guys looks like i gave the norfolk and norwich page an update before you guys guess i had forgot,

Any way for those not in the know or interested i left for selection on the 28th and was quickly taken back to the barracks from there on in i can only say it was the best experience ive had in quite a long time i managed to pass everything with flying colours and am now awaiting a start date for my basic training its not been easy getting this far at all and is not a decision to be taken lightly with a family in tow, i got back home late friday night after 5 hours traveling i felt knackered and abit out of place even after three basic days the amount this changes a person is not believable anyway i now passed and on my way to start training after 8 months of determination !

Second the previous!
A huge, but great leap in life!
Our service is only from 6 to 12 months depending on the line, did that voluntarily (guys have it mandatory), served a year as a navy machinist a few decades ago.

Well done mate, you've done very well by your perseverance and that must be a good thing in a soldier, eh? :)

Well done and congratulations.

There will be challenges ahead, not least the break from home and family, but thank you for making a decision to stand up and be counted. I, and I am sure I speak for many others, appreciate your willingness to put yourself forward to defend the rest of us.

Good luck and God bless.

All the best.

As others have said; congratulations, thank you, and best wishes as you start this new path in your life. I hope you find it as rewarding as I did.

Good Luck and enjoy. Keep up with the running and try and get some basic knowledge beforehand eg map reading or get the soldiers pocket book if its still in print. Like someone said a bit of knowledge or those who have served in the TA have an advantage

Well done fella. Work hard and learn lots. You will enjoy it but it will be a lot of hard work, there will be ups and downs but keep your eye on the prize.

20 years down and I still enjoy it.

Good luck 💂💂

Now is when the hard work begins. All you can do is give it your best shot, knuckle down and get on with it. I wish you all the best in your career,

Leon.
