Join the TA, it'll give you a taste of army life ( especially if you get a 6 month tour )...alternatively, join the forum at ARRSE http://www.arrse.co.uk/content/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and canvass opinions there, oh & don't forget to mention that you do a job that an ex-Royal Marine PTI said he'd find too strenurous to do on a daily basis. Give us a laugh, and post a link so we can check the responses

When the postal TA were recruiting in our office the other day they said you still have D2D's in Afghanistan.
