And yeah, it does suck a little. Gotta have a reconstruction in August, which will be interesting. Then it's all the physio of recovery.

Can i just ask why you are going TA and not UOTC if you aim is to go reg officer after uni?
I only ask as i am involved in TA recruit training and it's not the normal route we see.

Well, originally I was intending to have half of this year, all of next year and a gap year spent in the TA, and then when I popped off to uni I would have the option of doing either/or, and I even know some people who do both TA and UOTC at uni.

However, with the injury and allsorts that plan is currently under repair.

To be honest I think your mad. I prefer to 'check in' rather than 'dig in' so 13 years ago I decided to join up to 'Fly above the rest', lol. I've been on helicopters for the past 8 years and go everywhere with the army. In the army your treated like sh!t. I wouldn't put up with it. Although, which ever service you join, everyone always talks about getting out as soon as possible. Personally, I love my job. Now I'm on £35k with my aircraft licences but in the next few years will be looking for a job when I get out of at least £50k.

Verry Dangerous I have to ware a gas mask every day as this girls breath on reception is like off milk mixed with Dog dung and if i was to breath it in then I think I would be dead.
so very very dangerous hahahah

I've seen some crazy stuff around exploration rigs and there are a few areas where I do not like to work underground. The biggest risk I face on a daily basis is the number of miles I put in with the numpties on the road or in remote areas where a serious crash could result in my bones not being found for a while.
The family business is cattle and there are plenty of dangers. Fortunately people do not get hurt or die too often.
