I was up in Brecon for the past few days, with a mate, walking (around the Pen-y-fan area).

We saw two different groups of people wearing DPM and with military bergens etc. so were trying to work out who they were. Now I believe the SAS train/select around that area, but there was a female in one ...

funny....

Doesn't the drill sgt from "full metal jacket" tell a similiar story (but about the US Marines)????

that is properly funny lol

Not sure about the standards. But you can download the bleep test off the Royal Marines website for free (register your name in the fitness section). Then you lose the (annoying?) Australian accent!

Hi,

I have my AOSB briefing in February, and hopefully my AOSB main board shortly after that. I'm just after some advice on the fitness level, depth of current affairs knowledge required etc.

1) Chin ups - I can do 3 or 4 at the moment - and that's a struggle. Are there any other exercise I can do ...

Hi,

Looking to do the briefing in February, and the main board in the summer. Does anyone know what dates these will be on? I couldn't find any dates on the Army website.

Thanks

Hi,
I am currently doing my A-levels and am applying for a bursary through university, to hopefully go on to be an officer in the infantry.

I was looking for any advice on the interviews, fitness and any other comments people would like to share about the process.

Thanks
