Truth be told my interet in joining the RE is 90% because of my experience with the ex-Royal Engineers (though still sappers) NCO's of my cadet unit (including one ex-RSM and an ex-CSM, we were a very 'lucky' unit), they fostered a strong Espirit de corps within our unit giving many of the members a strong inclination to joining the sappers following school. Thanks for your kind comments and I will now be following your posts with baited breath.
