I might be "looking" for something to do over the summer as work around here will be slowing down.

No.....She's just interested  
Rachael

I'm not sure whether to leave it a year or not.
MrJpig

Do it this year and if for some strange and unexplainable reason you don't pass....then go back next year.

It's all experience that no-one can take away from you.  
Rachael

I've been thinking and will go down to the careers office later this week.
admin

Kratos

Rachael, you have nothing to lose...as previous posts have stated, it's all good experience.....GO FOR IT!
Nish

Give it a go.  Its all good.  What instrument do you play?
townsergeant

I'm beginning to wish I'd played the wonky baton....

.... I could've been a DOM instead!  
Kratos

Some DOM's have certificates for their conducting Billy......they used to show them to doubtful Thomas' on a regular basis. You should have more respect!

WAAAAAHHHH!
sammixjx

i am auditioning this month !
can't wait!
Nish

Well, good luck to you both.  Just remember, good impressions are everything.  Particularly the PT side of things, the swimming running etc, give it more than your best.  They'll be happy if you show them you're willing to push yourself to the absolute limit.

..It does seem to be heading that way.  I suppose the guys (and gals) nowadays have to qualify their existence more and more as the Armed Forces numbers dwindle. I have to say though, that from what I've heard, it certainly hasn't affected their absoloutely marvellous musical ability..
