@XXXXXXmaggotXXXXXX Hi there, you'd have to ask the Marines that directly. Maybe your local AFCO could help as they cover all three forces?

When is the next lot of Gunner courses? Thinking of joining up but my fitness is not up to standard yet. I would like to have an idea of when the courses run, thanks.

@royalairforce yes u can

the raf gunner advert in the brochures seems like such a tool for luring youngsters into false hopes. it says they will need to be able to operate quad bikes and motorcycles. some youngsers will think they will get to drive fancy vehicles. the brochures for the cannon fodder jobs are just tools used to lure people in. the reality is you will be on foot all the time as it costs the mod nothing. you'll be lucky to get a gun that doesn't break down every 5 mins. the equipments worn out loads
