01 July, 2020 14:58

Do you have any info on what 7 regt involves

01 July, 2020 14:59

Ive never been there so I couldn't tell you much about but it but I can tell you about 27 regt and like I said early there pretty much all the same

01 July, 2020 15:01

Can I have some info on 27 regt and some stuff you’ve expierienced

01 July, 2020 15:02

Yeh no problem so for me I loved it there. My day to day role was mostly servicing trucks when we weren't out on driving taskings. You do 2 driving exercises a year which are great fun. They run many driving courses so you can drive most vehicles by the time you move on to your next reg its also a great place to be if you enjoy sport.

01 July, 2020 15:07

Great place to be for traveling as well I deployed to Cyprus and Germany

01 July, 2020 15:08

Is it mostly driving or do you do like on the floor shooting exercises / training

01 July, 2020 15:09

So you do one infantry exercise a year and you also do a range week which is great fun going into villages and stuff

01 July, 2020 15:10

Different things come up all the time tho

01 July, 2020 15:11

Typically you will join a main stream regiment made up of RLC trades after that you can be posted to attached regiments or ever squadrons most main streams are very similar my best advise ? Go to a mainstream that has the most going on at the time to get more Experience, USE THE SUSTAINER !!!

01 July, 2020 15:17

01 July, 2020 15:19

01 July, 2020 15:34

Im not 100% as im just a driver but yeh I would say so but they do go out and do all the exercises as well

01 July, 2020 15:36

I’m interested in joining 27. Regt Rlc so when I go to phase 2 is that where I opt for 27 regt

01 July, 2020 15:42

So when it comes to the end of your training your get to apply for 3 postings you would like so put 27 down as your first choice and fingers crossed your get it

01 July, 2020 15:43
