team flex Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 I'm doing some work experience at my Mum's equine shop. Shame as the Arabs didn't come in, they normally come in there stretched Mercedes S classes (3 doors each side, will try and find a pic) and they spend £3,000 a Pop but hey, I'm not complaining (btw I have nothing against arabs and I really like their cars) I'm 14 currently, 15 soon, I guess you have to start somewhere EDIT: They drive around in a convoy of 3 of these and all have personal bodyguards also, anyone out there how do I resize images without saving them? thanks
TacMaster Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 also, anyone out there how do I resize images without saving them? thanks Upload through Imgur.com, you can edit picture dimensions on there.
JamesAirsofterAgent Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 British army all the way baby! It's always been Parachute Regiment or a Apache pilot but I doubt the second and prefer the first And hopefully (although this probably won't happen ...doh but worth a try) one day be in the SAS or SBS...
JamesAirsofterAgent Posted September 30, 2014 Posted September 30, 2014 Are there any Army/Ex Army officers here? I have a few questions.
Supporters jcheeseright Posted September 30, 2014 Supporters Posted September 30, 2014 concentrate on getting through your SATS first, the SAS can wait.
TacMaster Posted September 30, 2014 Posted September 30, 2014 Are there any Army/Ex Army officers here? I have a few questions. If you are planning to go in as an officer, try to work out what you'd need qualification wise- probably a degree, right? So then work out what field of study you're interested in (engineering, finance, politics, history etc etc) and then backtrack further and work out what A-Levels you'd have to study to get into University for your chosen degree. Then backtrack even further and work out what results you'll need at GCSE to get into those A-Level courses- GCSEs are INCREDIBLY important, I cannot stress how much depends on them. After spending what, up to 16 years in education (providing you do a university course which only lasts 2 years) you'd then have to spend more time in officer training at Sandhurst. I'm just saying be prepared to spend a lot of time in education and training before you actually get into the army. I'm not trying to put you off, it's just a lot of work- the way my family are pushing me I may end up doing it too, except to join the REME.
Supporters jcheeseright Posted September 30, 2014 Supporters Posted September 30, 2014 No benefit to getting a degree before joining up anymore, other than it's usefulness outside of the forces obviously. You can join up with 180 UCAS points at 18 and be on level pegging with a 21 year old graduate, once upon a time graduates got a boost to their seniority so they got promoted a couple of years quicker but that's all gone now.

Ah, thought that was still the case- thanks for correcting me
n1ckh Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 I knew an officer in my old regiment who joined straight from school He started as a private and when I met him, he was a captain, I had total respect for his hard work to become an officer but as a person, he was an a**hole, we didn't like each other but in the field, we respected each other My point is James that even without qualifications and some hard work, a person can still do officer training, you really have to stand out as spaces are limited to lower ranks After a few years service, there are many opportunities open to people to advance there career, if I could do it all over again, I'd still join the infantry but make sure I had a trade when I left
Chock Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 I work in the post production business, training people on how to do digital special effects for movies, so I actually get to play with guns at work.
JamesAirsofterAgent Posted November 30, 2014 Posted November 30, 2014 If your old enough to work your old enough to make you own decisions.... As long as your over 18 you can join the services with out any of your family knowing if you really want too... How the hell'd you do that!?

Supporters jcheeseright Posted November 30, 2014 Supporters Posted November 30, 2014 How the hell'd you do that!? go into a careers office, fill in the paperwork, don't tell anyone. when your entry date for basic training comes up you go.
