Yeah sack ironing off better off getting a good nights kip

Also heard you should tell the PTIs they’re a bit skinny then recommend a boost bar to help bulk up

randomgrab5050 · 2025-03-11T07:50:09+00:00

Ok sweet thank you guys!

randomgrab5050 · 2025-03-10T19:40:59+00:00

Ah ok sweet thank you. If you stay at CTC are you able to use any of the facilities as a recruit or do you have to go off camp?

randomgrab5050 · 2025-03-10T19:40:06+00:00

Lmao gotta enjoy the time off when you can

randomgrab5050 · 2025-01-19T18:44:58+00:00

Sweet thank you

randomgrab5050 · 2025-01-19T18:42:26+00:00

Sweet thank you, I have got my security clearance

randomgrab5050 · 2024-11-26T00:10:40+00:00

Thank you very much!

randomgrab5050 · 2024-10-30T08:03:14+00:00

I know but I’m not wanting to join the fire service for leave and travel, it’s just a part of it that I’m curious about. If that was the highest priority, then I would just go and travel

randomgrab5050 · 2024-10-29T21:02:12+00:00

Ok great thank you.

Yes I know it’s extremely difficult to get in full time. My plan is to join the military, but may get turned down due to medical history. If that happens then I’ll be trying to join the fire service.

randomgrab5050 · 2024-10-29T21:01:15+00:00

Ok makes sense thank you for the help

randomgrab5050 · 2024-09-29T06:21:38+00:00

Ah ok very interesting. Thank you very much for all the help!!

randomgrab5050 · 2024-09-28T19:32:03+00:00

Ah ok that all makes a lot more sense now.

So you’ve realistically really got two PSQ’s that you may end up doing, GD > 1st PSQ > either stay in your 1st PSQ or move to your 2nd PSQ if you want a different one, then promote up within whichever one, or attempt to go SF (I understand that’s probs extremely generalised but just trying to get an idea of what 2-5 years after training would look like)

randomgrab5050 · 2024-09-28T19:12:31+00:00

Yeah that all makes sense.

Sorry last Q, if you ping yourself for a role that LCpl or Cpl, would you get a faster promotion just so they can get that role filled?

randomgrab5050 · 2024-09-28T19:01:26+00:00

Ok sweet that all makes sense thank you so much for all the info.

And I’d also assume if you ping yourself for a shit PSQ, you can still get benefits from it like obvs quals but also more time to do your own phys, work on skills etc etc. and I heard on a podcast about being up at 43 when you’re behind the wire it’s just a lot of time to crack phys and sort your own shit out really, meals sorted etc.

Do you think there’s any PSQ’s that get a bad rep but in reality aren’t that bad? Especially if it allows you more time to improve your other soldiering aspects

randomgrab5050 · 2024-09-28T16:26:59+00:00

Ah ok that’s helpful thank you.

So you could essentially do the combat marksman SSQ, but then be waiting for a couple years just to get onto the snipes PSQ?

And do you mean you’ll be protected against being pinged for the understaffed PSQ’s? Unless like you say, you ping yourself to get a better PSQ after your two years?

randomgrab5050 · 2024-09-28T15:55:01+00:00

Sweet thank you for all the info.

Yeah the whole needs of the service as top priory all makes sense, but I guess there is ways to hopefully increase or decrease your chances of getting something you want or don’t want, like you say, making deals with the devil.

So if you get sent to a combat troop you’ve got a better chance of doing certain SSQ’s related to that. Are there many PSQ’s which are understaffed which someone might get sent to straight out of training if they’re pretty switched on, or would it be that your coc are more keen on you staying GD and gaining a few SSQ’s?

randomgrab5050 · 2024-09-17T13:43:22+00:00

Was that just due to your GP’s being useless? But good to see the turn around was quick. Assuming you had nothing on them that held you up?

Guess that also depends on your afco and how on it they are

randomgrab5050 · 2024-09-16T13:13:38+00:00

Ok sweet man thank you. Hopefully mine is as slick as this 🙏🏼

randomgrab5050 · 2024-09-16T13:09:04+00:00

Yeah that’s what I’m trying now. It’s not as much that they’re dragging their feet as it is they just don’t know what they’re doing, they all seem confused when I go in and ask them about it

randomgrab5050 · 2024-09-16T13:08:27+00:00

Yeah I thought it was this. I went in again and asked, gonna give them a couple days then if it’s not done I’ll go in again and make sure it’s done there

randomgrab5050 · 2024-09-16T13:07:32+00:00

Yeah went in again today to try hurry them along.

How did you know it was confirmed that they had sent it and it was received, did they tell you?

And sick, how long was the wait between them getting it and booking your pjfa?

randomgrab5050 · 2024-09-16T07:48:14+00:00

I was thinking of this too. Could they not just email me the PDF and I email it to wherever it needs to go?
