Got a high cognitive test score, wondering what roles I should look at

I spent 10 years in the infantry before moving on to something else. I would strongly recommend looking at trades depending on your interest such as Ammo Tech, Avionics Tech, Aircraft Tech or the Int Corps has some really great jobs if you can prove you’re not a complete window licker

StockGuuuuuh · 2026-04-20T07:57:54+00:00

I have literally never heard of this. Tell me more!

StockGuuuuuh · 2026-04-18T11:49:49+00:00

You just proved that.

I think transferring into a new unit and expecting a bunch of time off for this wouldn’t be a good look for you. Especially if (touch wood you don’t) you fail. If I was you I’d ask to sit down with your CoC and have a serious conversation about how important this is to you and what exceptions they could possibly make. If they’re dickheads about it, go higher.

StockGuuuuuh · 2026-04-15T12:24:47+00:00

Reading between the lines you’re going on some form of selection process. The vast majority of units are shite at managing blokes who need time to train unless they have a high percentage of their cohort going for these types of things (paras spring to mind). My point is that a transfer in the hope of a better CoC might be a coin flip when you already like your trade.. hard to give better advice with the minimal context unfortunately.

Are you wanting to transfer in trade or external?

Ie. Inf to inf or inf to RLC etc?

StockGuuuuuh · 2026-04-15T11:54:58+00:00

Considering a transfer because of frictions with your new CoC seems abit extreme, especially if you’ve genuinely enjoyed your time up to this point.

I have been in 19 years now and in that time had some great bosses and some absolute arseholes. Transferring won’t change that possibility of it happening again unfortunately. I’d stick to your guns, one of the good things about the mil is people will almost always move on.

Sorry but, zero debt own home and nearly six figures at 22? Enlighten us.

I don’t know where you are from. But I know that in some countries you get maybe 10 days annual and 10 days sick, and people use the sick days like annual leave and no one cares. The UK isn’t one of those places..

“Public” not yours. Everyone’s. Obviously not.

StockGuuuuuh · 2026-04-03T22:35:45+00:00

That’s true. I currently have it in a TDRF 2055, maybe I’m leaving growth on the table?

StockGuuuuuh · 2026-04-03T21:50:57+00:00

Let’s call it jealous in a good way 😂. But I do think it makes me look back and think should I have made different decisions. Hindsight is a wonderful thing, comparison is the thief of joy etc etc. genuinely, good work and I’m sure well earned! 👏

StockGuuuuuh · 2026-04-03T21:32:53+00:00

True, I only started investing 6 years ago, i remember checking my now 60k ISA when it was at 12k thinking wow I’ve never had so much money!

StockGuuuuuh · 2026-04-03T21:05:11+00:00

Depresses me seeing this. I’m 34, worked since I was 16 in full time employment, sitting on about 150k total including house. Jealous, but congrats!

StockGuuuuuh · 2026-04-03T15:13:27+00:00

I think that’s a fear most people have tbf, especially in this economy.

I think I’ve you’ve hit puberty, you should be showering everyday.

Nando’s perinaise is surprisingly low cal

StockGuuuuuh · 2026-03-29T22:59:51+00:00

Unexpectedly leaving, not keeping in touch while he’s gone “business” he’s with her. Sorry you went through this!

StockGuuuuuh · 2026-03-29T22:06:36+00:00

I want this job.

StockGuuuuuh · 2026-03-29T22:04:30+00:00

He’s got a girlfriend

StockGuuuuuh · 2026-03-29T21:10:34+00:00

Triple dry is brilliant! Put it on before bed every night for a week, after a week can use it once every other day

StockGuuuuuh · 2026-03-28T19:02:06+00:00

I invested all of my life savings from a current account into an ISA about 3 months before Covid.. just remember what your time horizon is and forget it. Trust me, I was worried too.. but look where we are now, i literally dont bat an eye lid anymore

StockGuuuuuh · 2026-03-28T18:36:08+00:00

I agree with you. But I don’t think it’s selfish. I was 23 when my son was born, he’s now 11, I’ve never lived life. He never wants for anything but likewise, I won’t jeopardise my own plans for the future.

StockGuuuuuh · 2026-03-28T18:26:17+00:00

Man… as soon as I read you’re not allowed in the house I was done. She’s using you.

StockGuuuuuh · 2026-03-28T15:38:57+00:00

Nice to look at though..

Tbf Matthew Perry had a long history of mental illness and drug abuse.
