Does anyone know how many young officers currently in this years batch are aged 18/19, or have not got a degree?

Many thanks

About 10 minutes is best prior to exercise. A warning though, people have died from taking such stacks as you can increase blood pressure without noticing.

But hey- get it down!!!!

Bicarbonate of soda neutrilises the build up of latic acid in the muscles as its an alkali, so stops the burning effect. I tried this once: you put 40grams with half a pint of orange juice. It tastes like crap and you continually burp for 5 minutes due to the release of carbon dioxide.

This was my 10 Week POC program. Taking into account also used for a marathon afterwards, so was tailored for both.

I have recently failed at A.I.B for an officer in the Royal Marines. The president of the board strongly reccommend that i tried again in 2 years time and also wanted me to have gained some experience (as i am only 18).

Unfortuantly i failed at A.I.B. The Board President recommended that i should join the RMR for some military experience, and try again in two years time, as i was very near to a pass.

Well done for getting a place.

I passed POC back in March, and have got A.I.B in around a months time. Have you any advice and tips for AIB, other then that already posted on the site?

Anything would be really appreciated.

From what i recall:

Of the 14:
- around 5 where still doing A levels
- The rest either had degrees or were finishing them

Of the 7 that passed
- two (inc myself) were 18 doing A levels

Il try my best...

A.I.B date has been booked for early July, after my A levels!
