*laughs at concept of tapping out to anything from feature boy, let alone a scarf hold*
I like the army, I'm done with my degree and need a job, army seemed like a natural choice for me.

Hey Smashy...grats on your degree and good luck with your future in the military!
My grandpa did the same thing, he got his degree from Rice, joined the Marines as an officer, and ended up retiring as a Captain. He spent the next 25 years of his life making big fucking money at a steel company. His life is is something to be admired.

You have an official "goodbye" date, Smashius? Or do you figure that you'll still be on Sherdog even after you've run off to join the circus?

Cheers dude, I've got to drop in my coursework this afternoon, then wait on results and after that I get to ponce around in an academic gown at the end of the month.
Funnily enough what your grandad did sounds eerily close to my life plan, I'm thinking I'm leaving after I hit Captain (actually I'll probably get booted for changing my surname to planet), but I might stick around after that if i'm havcing fun (the possiblities for surnames while a major are almost too good to miss).
I will still be a 'dog member and will come back tyo this place when I can, leave etc, while training and will then be back properly when i'm in the Army proper.

You go to your local army careers office and schedule an interview with the guy there, he'll have a chat with you and set you up with an RCB briefing date and some visits to regiments so you can pick the place you'd like to end up in.
The Pre-RCB (regular commisions board) briefing is a day and a half long interview process that takes place on a base that is used just for deciding on if people are ready to be army officers. This bit isn't to decide if you're ready for Sandhurst though, this bit is to decide if you're ready for the interview to decide if you're ready for Sandhurst.
You get a battery of interviews, get taught basic ideas of planning emergency response, go over some command tasks (that whole 'get your team from this platform to that platform without touching the floor, using these three planks and a hunk of cheese' thing), take an IQ test and do an individual obstacle course (walls climbs, rope swings etc.).
If you pass that you get to go on to the actual RCB which is three days of much the same stuff - interviews, planning tests, having to give a brief lecture to an audience, obstacle courses, pushups, situps command tasks. It's pretty much three days of non-stop testing.
Pass that and you get to choose a date for sandhurst.
So it goes - careers office, Pre-RCB briefing, RCB, Sandhurst.

Yesterday
Loads of gripper training (shut the 2.5 a couple of times), sledge levering (4 letter PR on 14lber) some DO bending of 60ds and some reverse bending of same.
Hitting tyre with sledgehammer.
Sub wrestling, no-gi, with a mate. Highlights - was turtled in north-south, hook an arm and roll to reverse scarf-hold, cinch in a z-lock and get the tap (ridiculously powerful neck crank that actually requires a bit if finesse). Twister roll from sidemount to a twister (love that move). Also got an armbar or two, rutten crank and a nice no-gi ezekiel
