"I don't want your friend's shoe, it's stinky!"  ;D
The arty sgt. nearly choked on his sandwich he was laughing so hard at me...  :-[

Short answer = chances are good you'll make it onto the course.

It all depends on you getting your application in ASAP. If you get your mid-term report in April, and get your application in shortly thereafter and blast through the tests, there is an excellent chance of getting you onto the June BMQ course. It's all up to you in terms of booking and completing each test.

I've seen people complete the testing in a month, where others have taken four months. It's different for each person.

BUT, I can guarantee to you that, once you are done the tests, we will get you into the unit and kitted up ASAP.

If the Argyll is the largest unit in 31 brg, why do we only have one real company? There are other units that have 2-3 companies and have different location. I think the RHLI started a new company in Burlington.  Why haven’t the Argyll expanded to new locations?

I don't think that the argylls are the biggest, do you have that poof  for that? We have two companies, but our nominal roll is up to 150
