Used to be in the Royal Green Jackets (about ten years ago). Excellent problem (so long as you can take orders/abuse!) and don't mind giving up a lot of your spare time.

From memory he should be getting around £20 a day (as a lowly grunt). He'll get two and a half days for a weekend away (Friday night 'till Sunday afternoon) and about half a day for an evening at the drill hall (midweek). He should also get travel expenses.

its good until you get called up due to the fact army recruitment has collasped ie YOU WILL get called up ,

and remember the law has changed meaning the UK government won't defend your job so that an employer is perfectly entitled to sack you and hand you your P45 once you get called up,

you are however perfectly entitled to sue your ex boss using your own lawyer and own money - which is of course a bad thing as bosses hate trouble makers and people who sue their bosses tend never to work ever again,

of all the shite temp jobs and longer job I have now they've started putting questions on them which must be answered truthfully , stuff like did you leave your last work place on good terms? (suing is defo not good).

if you really wanna go I have a good supplier of trauma plates for the heart and lungs £200 a pop , ex Israeli

A basic private gets £30.96 per day. This increases with the more training you do.
If you get called up you dont have to actually go to iraq if you dont want to

lol, not worth it if your not willing to be called up.

Used to be in Hartlepool's Royal engineers. We were based at the same station as the Royal signals.

It was a good laugh. We all went on loads of training weekends and weeks out at regular army bases to do more training and have mock battles with the regular paratroopers.

We did loads of other stuff like ride army crosser bikes, Rifle shooting, battlefield first aid and loads of other stuff that you would learn ing the regular army except that it is more relaxed and you don't have an a5sehole sergent shouting at you all the time.

It was a good time. I recommend it.

careful if your thinking of joining and refusing to go overseas, the forces take a dim view of that.

Locked someone up for being AWOL the other week, boy was he in trouble.
