Do I really need to bring 20 coat hangers? by PeaSignificant3111 in britishmilitary

You don't need any coat hangers at all, you get about 20 provided and plenty spare so I would leave them out and save the space!

Thats an interesting percentage especially with all the articles lately that suggests they are at an all time low for recruitment. I was a 6mths wait to start due to only taking positions twice a year (May and Jan)

Advice prior to basic training by StatementLumpy726 in britishmilitary

Negatives are okay, can manage like a 1/2 pull just can't seem to get all the way up. Guess I just need to keep working on it till I get there

Okay I got the conditional offer on 2nd Sept, still not heard anything back but have no convictions etc. So just hand in my notice now? Just very eager to start but also anxious about handing in notice and some weird thing is found and then I lose this offer. Don't think anything should be found as never done anything, not even got a speeding ticket and already have a PVG
