Hi,
Bit of advice needed really..

Eariler on this year I was ment to off gone off to ATR Winchester to start my phase 1 training. But had a change off mind, nerves got to me I guess. WORST mistake ever, everyday I think what I could of been doing. I went to the AFCO a few months later and asked if ...

Yeah, well I spoke to the AFCO and I can go back in next month without doing selection etc woo.

Hi,
I had my entrance date for basic, but I had alot of stuff going on at home and me leaving for the army would of not helped it etc. I rang ATR Winchester up (where I would of been based) and explained. Been a few months now and I want to apply again, but was wondering if anyone new what the army ...

Was just wondering will I get Easter, Christmas etc leave in phase 1 and 2 training?

Not sure, my mate is in Lichfield now training and he's been told he will be the last troop to train there. And the corporals where telling us whats happening with all the ATR's but they didnt say when it's all starting.

What kind of civvi job could a signal course get me?

Lichfields getting closed down and everything's getting swapped around.

Yea they do the cough and cup. What fun that was.

Hi,
Just passed selection and got a date to start training for the royal amoured corps. But, having second thoughts only because when i come out the army i'll have no job, no qualifications and you can't drive tanks on civvi street lol. Just wondering what you ex-squaddies did when you left?

Thanks, I'll start that tomorrow. Going to stop running until next Monday I think, to give it bit of time to heal. Going back the AFCO on Thursday to give some papers in so think I'm going to tell them about it and get a different date for Lichfield. Saves me failing first time lol

So use heat or ice? Lol

Thanks for all the advice. Went through my interview fine today, didn't tell the seargant about my shins though. He said when i get my letter for lichfield if theres any reason I can't go to ring up, so gonna wait a week or two and start running again and if my shins arn't better I can get the date ...

Won't my shins get worse if I keep training? I'm doing 4 miles on Monday, my mile and a half with 10 minute warm up, circuit training on Wednesday, another 4 miles on the Thursday and circuit training on Friday and weekend off. Doing push ups etc during the week after running like.

Hi,
Can anyone help me? I've been getting pains right the way down my shins when I've been running. I've been told this could be shin splints? and I shouldn't be training for a few weeks, but I have my interview this Monday and I'm guessing Lichfield soon after. Should I carry on training or give ...
