The name "Territorial Army" I think has always confused people into thinking its an individual regiment completely separate to the regular British Army. I spent 6 years in the "TA" your basically a part time soldier for which ever regiment you decide to join i.e. REME, Royal Armoured Corps, Infantry, Royal Signals, Paras and even the SAS.. Most of the time it's voluntary to go to a war-zone etc. you would be asked if your particular trade/skill is needed.

@01hreshy yes you go to where the army is in the thick of it or not.

i want to join the TA when im 17 but what i wanna know is can you do it while at college ? my course in monday tuesday and fridays, so can i do both ? an answer would be appreciated :)

If you join the TA, and you want to do it full time (regular) can you transfer?
-
Do you get sent to Afgan as a TA? because i want to go to TA to get ready for the Para's?

@Traceurb the minimum age is 18 but there are lads that join at 17 and a half doing basic training

@01hreshy It's a choice, you are asked to volunteer but you can say no. Although I think you have to do at least one tour of duty
