Additional information

Ive had a fascination with british tanks and its would be a dream to work on challenger 2. But im confused on the process and how things work within the RTR. Im looking to hopefully join the army beginning of next year once im fit enough. And was wondering if you get the option on things you would like to do.

Your role and vehicles you work on will depend on what regiment you are in; you will have to apply as a tank crewman and could be attached to any of the regiments under the RAC, this will depend on what vehicles you work with as found on the links below.
