I'm sorry, the kit list above is for the Infantry which is Male only, I'll change the title now. I will try and find a Female kit list as I'm joining myself and will need to find this, so I will post it for you as soon as I can. May I ask what you are thinking of joining in the Army?

Hey Tink! Joining The Royal Artillery. My recruiter thinks thats the best regiment for me. Do you mind me asking when you planning to join? Your assistance will be very much appreciated.

Cheers!

Hey Ckinki ,

What are you thinking of doing in the Royal Artillery? I'm thinking of joining the Royal Logistics Corps to become a chef. Not sure when I'm going in yet. I used to have asthma and you have to be clear for 4 years . I'm joining an APC in May to help with my fitness and to give me something extra to do in the mean time. When are you thinking of joining?

Tink

Hey Tink ,

Initially I wanted anything to do with IT and Communication, but after my BARB test and literacy test, my recruiter printed a list of career options for me. Most favourable from the list was the Gunner Artillery Logistics or whatever its called. Hopefully after so many years of service, I be able to do mechanical engineering or something along those lines. I wish things would speed up so I join soon. I'm waiting for my medical results from my GP which should be in sometime next week. This might sound dumb, but I know nothing about asthma. 4 years is a long time to wait, I really hope for the best for you. I admire your patience and determination wish I'd be half as patient as you ! I see you love shopping, same here. What sort of shopping are you into?

Cheers!

Ckinki.

Hey Ckinki,

Thanks. When are you thinking you'll start training? Do you know where your ADSC will be? Where are you from? I don't know where Poole is. Adore shoe shopping .

P.S. I've sent you a PM.

Tink

My medical hasn't gone through yet. I am hoping that things will move fast but as at now, it's impossible to predict when I start my training. Once I find out where my ADSC will be, I will let you know. Poole is in Dorset. I bet you know Southampton or Bournemouth. Where are you from? Well I'm addicted to shopping in a bad way I'm into fashion clothes, shoes, perfumes and make up. I currently own about 60 pairs of shoes but can't stop buying more. How bad are you? Easy access to the net makes it even worse!

Cheers!

Ckinki

Hey!

Cool thanks. Yea I know where that is . I'm from Chorley. I'm not that bad .

Tink

All females do phase one training. You will need everything on the list. Just change some of the items from male to female.
