Hi, sorry if this has been covered before, but i couldn't find it using the search. I was wondering if you joined the TA, and completed all the training nessecary, and gained some experince, ie a year or a year and a half can you move onto the regulars, without having to do ADSC and the whole ...

Try running a mile and a half, then stop do some stretches- to get your breath back, then try running another mile and a half, stop and get your breath back and again another one. Try doing this for a few weeks, at a medium jog pace, just enough to hold a conversation. Once you can do this quite ...

Thanks for all the replies. I was at the Jobs conference thing in glasgow secc, both the army and ta rrt guys where there. They informed me that both the medical requirments are the same, only the ta one was less intence, so ive just decided to bide my time and be patient. A year isnt that long away ...

Hi, thanks for the replies. For the army i know you have to go up to A.D.S.C. and they send away for your doctors notes, but on the ta website it says well invite you for a meical, so i was hoping that they wouldnt away for my doctors notes, obviously if they asked i would have to say that i had a ...

Sorry, to bring this old post back up. But i was wondering, i bought a disk from ebay with the bleep test on it. But it has a test for 15metre and one for 20 metre. My mate in the police cadets say they get tested on the 15 metre one, but i was just making sure that id be training with the one. Ive ...

I work with the trains and that, it was just having its signals changed over, thats all. Trains were only stopped passing through for about 30/40 mins, but everything is back to normal now. Hope this helps.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has some advice for me. I recently got deffered from the regular Army due to an anemia problem with my blood. I have to wait 13 months from today, before re-applying. However i am fine now, this is a precautionary thing. So in the mean time i was thinking of applying ...

Just got a letter in on friday from doc at A.D.S.C. I have been deferred for 12 months due to anemioa levels in my blood. I have to at least wait 12 months since treatment finished, which i am told should be about a months time. So altogether, 13 months now and counting. So can't believe it, im ...

Thanks alot sarastro, youve just put my mind at ease, last time i applied, it was less than a week to hear and i thought that was just the norm, but thanks any.

Yeah im hoping to be able to be well below the RE time, so ive been running short/long/sprints/hills, but mainly the 1.5 miler best ...

Hi, i was just wondering how long on average it takes for the doctor to send the medical report back. I have been waiting for just over two weeks now and im starting to get nervous incase something is wrong. Is this something wrong or am i just being too impatient.

And also, if everything is okay ...

Alrite mate, good to hear that theres no problem, and hopefully once you sign it, therell be no more waiting for you. What is Regiment are you joining?

A wee birdie told me that theyre thinking of making another Rambo, and also another Rocky. But supposeably they had a problem with the Rambo one so theyre concentrating on another Rocky. I cant imagine what the story line will be now, must be him training, something like Tommy Gunn in the fifth one ...

Saw it on Sunday, thought it was a dissappointing Rocky compared to the others but still very good. A bit boring at the start but its cause there was alot of catching up to do. Anyway definately worth a watch. Can't beat Paulea, hes still the man.

Yeah i overheard a sgt from the careers office telling a guy today that he can go when he is ready, but not to take too long cause his details where going to elapse. So if i was you i would phone the careers office and speak to them, in the mean time just try to train for above the entry standards ...
