Little Butch 16 Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 Passed Selection a little while back, had a bit of a hiccup with my Urine samples but that's all sorted now. Haven't had a Phone call from them recently so I'm goin' to give them a call Tomorrow to see what's happening. My first Job choice Is Infantry, the second Is Gunner Light Gun and the Third Is Dog Handler. I've had a think and the Dog Handler s something I'd really love to have a go at! Can anybody shed some light on this particular Job? Is It hard to get Into? Butch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SportingShooter 0 Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 I'm still convinced the General's Secretary is the one for you Best of luck though, Dog handler does sound an interesting path, I've seen a few demonstrations of the Police dogs, quite amazing what they can do and detect Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fraggle 4 Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 i aint to sure on it all mate, but do have a good mate in a dog unit so will give him a bell some point for you. i'm sure though that they dont recruit a lot of them, but there is always the opertunity to transfer to them once your in. Things i can tell you is you will goto pirbright first and do your 14 weeks basic training (with me muah hahahahahahhaha) then you will be cap badged to the vet corps from there not to sure mate. give me a few days and i'll see what i can dig up.

lindsay 1 Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 Mate dont go infantry,gunner light gun is the better of the two, i done 13years in The Royal Artillery (left at end of 2007) but however if you could do some thing that you can get a trade from go for that mate. But if not you can still put forward once your in a Regt to do a dog handlers course, but what ever you choose all the best mate. If you need any advice just pm am willing to help mate.

Little Butch 16 Posted June 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 I think I'll have a word at the Careers office, I'm leaning towards the 'Gunner Light Gun' though.. Once I've been In there, how long 'till I could apply for the Dog Handler course? Butch Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Butch They will get you to do all the coure for your job first mate,but if you are getting deployed to somewhere nice and sunny or bosnia? they might need dog handlers then? but you are quicker to go up the ranks in the Gunners I was a Sergeant after 9years, If you stick in that helps,after all promotion means more money But mate if its the dogs you really want to do then go straight for it,it might be harder to change once you are in a Regt and made a mark for yourself,what you going for Para or Commando Gunner?????

Little Butch 16 Posted June 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 What's the difference between Para and Commando Gunner? Butch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
socks 32,253 Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 once you are in your regiment the chance of ever getting near a dog or doing a dog course will be next to zero .... you need to decide now what you want to do otherwise its going to be a long 4 years for you ............

Little Butch 16 Posted June 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 My mate wanted to do the Gunner Light Gun and I've had a look Into It, looks great! Much better than Infantry I'll put In for that, I just hope there's places left. Butch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
socks 32,253 Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 artillery a better life than the infantry ??? you cant get any trade from either but at least in the infantry you get up close and personnal not sat 20 Ks back in the artillary post .... boring as f**k .........................
