flygunz, Cryptkeeper, Talksplit, Thom and especially ChristopherRobin, I would like to thank you all for your honest replies.
It is, alas, worse than I initially thought possible!
For a number of years, I have been quite full of enthusiasm for the Corps. but recently I have become aware of rumblings of discontent viz. the Officer role, but I have not been fully aware of the reality!
Of course, as a current GA flyer, the flying is what would have attracted me foremost, even above my strong desire to serve in the British forces.
However, I will still follow the enquiry through because I am also interested in other roles within the British Army, but will seriously consider whether leaving my City career, however ball-crunchingly boring it is, is worthwhile in the long-term!
Again, thank you for your honest opinions which I would have struggled to obtain anywhere else!
Regards,
SS
