Been offered an earlier date and took it, going to start my TG Sep 20th instead of Oct 25th, the mrs is going mental about it but I figured I may as well get the 29 weeks out of the way now. I'll keep everyone posted with a trainning diary if I get spare time, cheers for the support everyone

I feel well excited mate, I go oct 25th, got a mate on the 20th of september tho. I would leave tomorrow if they'd let me

Just saw a trainning vid for pre para, is it true that part of the selection is a tab in full kit across the fan dance??

cheers mate, when's your TG??

Yeah that's right phase 1 and phase 2 a total of 22 weeks down Honington then phase 3 (field gunners) for 7 weeks in Sennybridge (supposidly a right hole- not that am bothered though just glad tobe in) in total 29 weeks.

5 gcse's A-C although internal entry may be different

My TG course is oct 25th, I've said I'll go on an earlier one if anyone drops out.

Good news everyone I passed PGAC, a word of warning to anyone attempting it you've got to be very very fit, they've got a skirmish on day 2 now and 25 people dropped out just off that.

My PGAC is July 27th anyone on this one? The Sgt said to me there will be 40 of us on the selection and only space for 15 people, I'm assuming due to the credit crunch there's been a high influx of applicants. When I went for to 34 Squadron for the day I got level 13 on the bleeps test and did 60 ...

nah mate don't wanna do SPAG, was just curious about pararescue as I've never heard of a British equivalent, still going raf reg. The basic has just been extended to 29 weeks too, like I said I'll focus of getting through that before I even think about any sort of gucci specialisation.

Just read a book about an american pararescue, some info on the job here:
