Yeah Tom I know what your saying mate. When I first went to the AFCO I was with a bunch of right chav dicks, but It seems the further I get through the process of joing the army the better the quality of lads.

I would do it mate. I went in and got my med forms and eye test done pre maturely If I was you I would do the same and get them done ASAP pal.

Yeah so just go see a optician. I went last week dont take long and only costs 20 quid.

Thanks for all the advice guys, I'll let you know how I do on thursday. Do the english and maths exams you have to do count for anything ??

I feel left out I've got no record. The Nottingham police force were never quick enough

Hi guys, got my BARB test on 19th febuary (Thursday) and I'm shitting it. You guys got any tips/advice for me?

Generation kill is awsome! It's on FX sunday or monday nights I cant remember, I've bought the book too but yet to read it.

Is there a list anywhere on the net of all the MMA clubs I had a look but couldn't find anything. Also do you need any previos experience, I box but have never done any ground work.

I just googled MMA then my city and it came up with a few clubs near me.

Dont worry about not having any previous ...

All going well I will be joining 2 Mercian they're my local regiment and seem to be most suited to me, however I am still early in my application so I'm still looking into the diffrent regiments.

I was doing it for quite a while mate I only intended on doing it for excercise but ended up wanting to fight think it was about 4-6 month training twice a day fives times a week. I love it mate nerve wracking when yours name called for your first fight though lol

Yeh I bet it is f@#k nerve ...

Not watched the UF but Ima buy it and check it out. I've been watching 'The Unit' and It's quite entertaining and Kill Zone both american but still good, Kill Zone Is really good and I recommend that to all..

Trev1 how long you been training in MMA before you first started fighting mate?

Been doing it my self for a few weeks now, hard work but great fun!

I signed up too mate and sent it round. Cant belive that theres only 1600 people who have signed up..

I was wondering this my self as I've been doing MMA for a few weeks now and really not looking forward to it stoping when I join the army.
But i guess ill just start boxing and try to hold back from droping them to the floor and getting them in a arm lock lol!
