    Gray, Trousers will be issued to serving Soldiers that have earned the right to wear them.

    They certainly aren't to be given out without some form of Return of Service.


    Feel free to sign up for a minimum 4 years and you'll be issued with 3 sets of said trousers.

    Sorry didn't realise my name was.... Username...

    So initial then even if trousers are too small etc I would have to wear what's given etc..

    I were to bring my own stuff in would that be allowed..

    Also for training do you allow self training?

    And make custom training equipment or unless you have it there . For example I wear weighted vest and ankle.

    You would not be given any form of clothing that doesn't fit. So don't worry about that.

    whilst in training utilizing your personnel kit will not be a factor. Issued kit only.


    Once you progress in your career there will be occasions that you can invest in your own kit if you so wish.

    For the duration of training uniformity is key. You will not be able to use your own training kit. Believe me, we have all the kit and more that you will ever need to succeed. As for "extra" self training. You are training to be part of the largest cohesive teams in the UK, to that end you will train together throughout. You will not have the energy nor the time to conduct "extra".

    If you're going to university for say chemical engineering.. etc.. how would you join or partake..

    For the clothing that to fit you would they perhaps sell that to public or not..

    There are opportunities to utilize bursary's from the Army. If you are already studying then but intend on joining the Army then i'd suggest it maybe the wrong way around in joining.


    Dependent on role, you could have got the qualification free whilst also getting paid a full time wage to conduct said course.


    Our uniform, is for Service personnel only. If you like the idea of owning the uniform without serving I'd suggest locating an Army Surplus Store.
