I'm assuming you mean regulars rather than reserves?No no, reserves too. They go through the same training and so on after all.

How long is your guys's basic training? And I guess AIT? (advanced individual training)? depending on your MOS

I had my place at Harrogate for a long time before dropping out, my step brother, uncle, grandfather and great grand father have all served though.Will do mate, expect one soon.
I was junior entry for Royal Anglians (My Uncle/Step brother are in it currently). And Grandfather/Great grandfather both Royal Welsh.
Come for a run in Ippy sometime instead of all those parties ay;) Saying that, if you need a good running club there is one in Martlesham, it is by the gym.
I don't plan on joining anymore though. I have a few mates at Harrogate atm if you want me to ask them anything drop me a Facebook message.
Royal Marines > Army
;)
Marines assault course is fucking gnarly. Done it twice for charity. Don't do it lol. Macca, if you're interested there is a 24 hour like 50 mile hike for charity for the sweet old army near usThere is no way in hell I'm joining the RMC. Fusiliers/Anglians will do me nicely. And when this 24 hr hike? Link up and let's do it lmao.

I know they are mate. My first choice on the application was Royal Regt of Fusiliers with Royal Anglians and Royal Logistics Corps as second and third choices. My GCSE's aren't bad at all, C's and above which as far as I'm concerned is good. I was looking into both REME and the Engineers though but settled with infantry and logistics. If being a front line soldier goes to shit then there's always Logistical Supply Specialist with the RLC as my back up.Marines assault course is fucking gnarly. Done it twice for charity.

Na Anglians are good. If you actually have a qualification go for Engineers though, or REME.. Can't believe I have just recommended REME to someone - anyway moving on. They're both good for post-Army employment. If you've just basic qualifications you'll be a grunt for quite some time. My friend has been a Royal Anglian for like 5-6 years and is now a LCpl, mainly because he only has GCSE's. So don't waste a qualification if you have. And I'll fb you it if it pops up again, I can't remember the name though.

Can't do that, got to uphold the family tradition, and the standards are still twice the army's. I think the new commandant will help as well as if Trump gets pres he will increase the budget. Also not infantry but Forward Observer/JTACUS Coastguard Reserve>US MarinesEven though im joining the Marines in a few months, cant deny the coast guard are actually more hardcore than people think
My best friend is a Marine. He's out now and will tell you what any other honest person should. Do not join the marine corps if you have a brain. Go Army if your set on being infantry. Marines have lowered their standards so much....
Please define standards. Army does a lot more than just physical requirements compared to the Marines..
Marines shouldn't be their own branch anyway. Why? perhaps because they're supposed to be.... you know... Marines?Not really getting where your coming from, are you saying they should just be Infantry without all of the shit they have now like air assets and artillery? in WW2 they were expanded because they didn't have enough manpower to fight their own theater. They are still the smallest branch by far with 20% of the manpower compared to the army (Active and Reserve)
Can we rename this thread to include international military Service Members both current and former?International is my trigger word

Also would be good for moving military related discussion from politics thread to this so I don't spam it full of military and security politics stuff.I'd rather it not be politics based but more of a place for different nationalities to discuss similarities and differences of their experiences. Also hopefully a sort of mutual respect and acknowledgement for each other's militaries and warriors whatever their governments agenda is
Yeah, I meant on the more technical side. There was some technical discussion prior for example about AA-missile systems in the topic before and of course discussion about the national service and how people felt about it. I think such should be fine here as well.oh yeah thats cool
I'm currently in the process of application for RMAS.

Yes, I fought in a war.Jim is a part of all wars
Okay
The british army is so outdated. They still use lee enfields and shitty variations of the sten gun. Even their more modern guns are garbage, bulpup shit stains on weapon design. If they had been less arrogant and gone with foreign weapons that actually work, then maybe they wouldn't have lost in afghanistan.
This along with their low requirements and training are the reason why they lost in ww2 and had to be saved by their own ex colony. UK used to be an OK country, but now it's full of incompetent asshats. Just look at brexit.
You can probably trace this problem right down to the root of the collapse of the british empire.
Dragoons are so lit
Wait they still have dragons?
Aren't the dragoons the Tankers now?
so did you guys already kill somebodyle original post xd right here
Aren't the dragoons the Tankers now?
Side note: I think it's cool the british army kept the names of (some) cavalry units.
In the Netherlands, we also still have 3 Hussar regiments.
The scout-units are still the hussars and is still called Cavalry (light cav) and the tanks were part of the cavalry, too (Heavy cav), distinguished by their black barets.

The dragoons aren't tankers anymore, they used to use the Scimitar vehicle, but switched in the last two years, for Army 2020 plan, to Jackal Mk2s. Which I can't wait to be trained on.

So they're motorised infantry now?
Anyone else joining up? Andee gets back from Army BCT in late March and I ship out to USMC boot April 3rd. Hopefully I my first pick 0861 (FO/JTAC)Very nice. I hope to get an FO or JTTAC position myself after my first position. You cannot directly apply for JTAC/FO in the Dutch army, so I will have to do two or three years as platoon commander first.Spoiler(https://static.dvidshub.net/media/thumbs/photos/0911/223100/1000w_q75.jpg)[close]
Yeah at first you get FO/Naval Gun Fire Liason and then you can later get certified as JTAC.Anyone else joining up? Andee gets back from Army BCT in late March and I ship out to USMC boot April 3rd.

Just got a Reserve Officer Training Corps scholarship to some schools. The US government pays for my full tuition in exchange for my serving as an officer for four years after college.
Also still waiting to hear back from the US Military Academy. I have congressional nominations and all the right qualifications, but nothing is ever certain with service academies.
Regardless I'll undergo light military training in college and join as an officer after I get a degree.
I'm not exactly sure yet. I've read quite a bit and spoken to some officers. The officer that guided me through the whole process was a lietenant colonel in the Field Artillery, which is the one I'm leaning towards right now.

Lol, my ex napoleonic Wars arty company leader is in active duty field artillery in the Army, used to brag about how many jihadists he blew up, then i wondered how many were women and kids, and he said still counts 8)
nothin wrong with watchin a few sand monkeys blow upLol, my ex napoleonic Wars arty company leader is in active duty field artillery in the Army, used to brag about how many jihadists he blew up, then i wondered how many were women and kids, and he said still counts 8)

If you joke or brag about how many you have killed, there must be something extremely wrong with you.
