I'm guessing he means he can achieved the requirements for officer entry.

I think it means he's not going to wear any underwear lol

i think that 3 miler will help a lot, when i did my prmc we lost half the group on it, and it wasn't even fast, i did my pjft in just under 830 and im usually the handbrake when we do troop runs at unit, so if you're just scraping the bottom of the barrel then i think you should reconsider before yo...

Hi there lads, first time posting but i've been watching the boards for a few years now. My problem is i've been living in the states with my family for the past few years and when I called the recruiters office this morning they said I would have to be living in the UK for 3 years for a backround ...

good job on that, i was going to say...the application process can be extremely quick like it was for me which was less then a month or you could be a career applicant and spend a good year attempting!

lol well good job then see you around then mate

Right as i have been reading along, a lot of people are constantly saying that its a bad place and that its not where you want to go...I have just recently moved up there after being pinged after tour...obviously i was threaders, but since ive got up there i think its a lot better then people give i...

Also means more chance to pass.

Yea not to sounds negative but its gives a better chance of f****** up too so it can be taken either way.

the current osprey out in afghan is capable of taking 5 point blank shots from a dragunov which is 7.62 x 54r and it won't penetrate, so it gives you more then ample protection and the way the plates are designed it spreads the energy of where the shot hits you so you don't get too messed from inter...
