    Hi, excuse me begin naive, I've always wondered if there was a way to sign up to do all the training and then be sent off on a tour, I would like to go on tour and serve my country, I dont want to join and wait around going to gym and doing training for years to then leave ( i dont mean that in a disrespectful manner as it may not be that way ) I dont want to be disrespectful asking this as am unsure how the system works but would there be a way to be almost drafted to the front lines (even tho I understand there isn't much deployment at the moment) after completing training in other words?

He FaceTimes me when he can, makes me laugh he’s always cleaning or polishing something. Not once has he said I can’t do this, or I want to come home, it’s what he’s always wanted and I’m 100% behind him. I’m so happy as a Mum that he said he feels at home in Catterick. You guys do an amazing job. Can’t wait for the next update. Thank you

    Interesting. My late father had many postings and 'jobs' within the REME circa '56 to '86. He was told by his civvy boss he should join up for some man-management training so, as opposed to choosing a trade, he went RD because he wasn't seeking to cut out a career in the Army but thirty years later he was a Major (OC TRG BTN & DEPOT REME). They were based in Arborfield. I worked in SEE and my mother was the Chief Clerk of 45 SQN RCT - before they all amalgamated into the RLC or the 'Really Large Corps'! Thank you for sharing this video - I had been watching a KZread reboot of all the Lads/Bad Lads Army which led me here. I used to attend the Passing Out Parades often as Dad's companion - new dress always provided hee hee! Sadly, he passed in 2008 from Pancreatic Cancer. Thanks again for the memories x
