Interesting. Thanks, TGirl Kelley, and welcome to the forum.

A follow-up question for anyone out there: When one enlists in the British Army, does one get to choose which regiment to serve in?

If that is indeed the case, it seems like it would make staffing a bit of a headache as some regiments would undoubtedly be more desirable/popular than others. If I understand correctly, in the US Army enlistees have some say in what branch they will ultimately serve in (e.g. artillery, armor, etc.), but they don't really get to pick what division. The only exceptions that I'm aware of are the "elite" formations like the Airborne, Rangers, and other Special Forces. Those however, are rather selective, so there's no guarantee an enlistee will end up there.
