Yes, you should be able to re-trade. I believe that there are currently spaces for regiment.

Yes you will be doing rock basic training at honington, but probably as an LAC (you will not lose your current pay), meaning you should end up as course senior, giving you more responsibility (and more chance of getting p00ped on)

No, you definitely will not lose your service years. Most importantly.

Good luck!! Loony.
 
Thats great news! Forgot to say in my first post that I did apply for regiment when I joined up, but failed the PGAC twice so couldn't apply for it anymore, will that affect my chances? Im 100 times fitter than I was back then and could easily pass the course now, just not sure if that affect me changing?
 
Good advice mate. As well as having a chat with your FOM/PFOM - have you spoken to OC RockApes yet?
 
how is your trade manned at the mo?

the only reason I ask is because i was turned down for re-muster to regiment due to my trade being under manned.

PM me if you have questions about the paperwork.

That used to be the hardest part of remustering
If your own trade puts a stop to it,it's normally game over
 
I'm thinking exactly the same thing, i'm SAC Pers (Spt) but made a mistake choosing that trade, I can't spend my career sitting in an office.

Does anybody know if the reg are still taking on?
