About Us
| About ULOTC
What
do we do?
From weapons
training to survival skills, broad military training is the basis.
We do adventurous training and get to travel overseas, and attend
formal military social events.
When is training?
Training takes place every Tuesday night after lectures, and one
weekend per month, although your commitment can be more or less.
Do I have
to join the Army afterwards?
No, but it is a good place to start a military career. About 20%
of Officer Cadets join either the Regular or Territorial Army afterwards |
|
How
long do I have to join up for?
There is no minimum
requirement. Most join for about two years, but you can leave at
any time.
How
fit do I have to be?
You need a basic standard of fitness, but you don't need to be an
athelete. The fitter you are, the more you'll get out of the weekend
exercises. Fitness
Most
importantly - what about pay?
For all your hard work you get £35.37 per day in your back
pocket in the first year, rising to £57 based on your rank
and experience. Your travel costs are reimbursed too. You also get
a bonus of £130 - £180 if you complete a full year.
Am
I going to war?
No - there is no 'call-up' liability. At all. Remember
you can leave at any time. |
