Yeh mate, just the name is that has changed.

first of all cheers for taking the time to write that mate, been looking around for a detailed account of what actually goes on on PGAC or whatever its known as now.. and unlucky with the injury mate, hope you get through next time :)

sorry to take everything back a stage but whats the whole list ...

In my opinion 'muslim' extremists seem to openly get away with racism on a regular basis, yet when the average British (Christian/other) person gets to the point of showing utter disgust by actions of 'muslim' extremists - they get branded as racist. This is what the average person is sick to death ...

By the way Chris those are some impressive run times bro

Hi chris thanks for the reply,

my first 1.5 miles i was fine with the squad, but on my 2nd 1.5 mile my legs didnt have anything left (i had done the battle PT session the day before) and i got 14 mins 27 secs very poor.

The training i have done since mainly consists of 3 mile runs, 5 mile runs ...

Cheers for that mate.

I've got PGAC booked for Jan 18th 2010 and by the sounds of it I'm nowhere near ready (despite being relativley fit).

At the moment I can run the 3 miles in 20.22 mins, I can do
37 press ups in a minute and 50 sit ups in a minute. Just as an
indication on where I am at the ...

When I said this Saturday I meant in 8 days.

So I've got my PJFT this Saturday and i'm not goning to pass. The Regiment standard for the amount of press ups in a minute is 40 and I just can't get past 37!!! I have done pressups every other day for the last 2 weeks and I can feel a slight improvement but nothing major. Thing is I have good ...

I had my AST in July and have been given a PGAC in Jan.

I think i might have been one of the last through the door, as i believe the position is now closed.

Cheers thanks, I am expecting the application in the post this week, just tried a few press ups, never really do them while training. I read somewhere that you got to be able to do 44 in two minutes, I've just done 44 in around 46 seconds.

Am I right in thinking 44 press ups in 2min along with 50 ...

RIP Soldier.

Unlucky mate, better luck next time.

Have you been given any indication on how long you'll have to wait for your second attempt?

I was given a PGAC date of 18th Jan 2010 back in July but have since been told I need to pass a PJFT before I am able to attempt PGAC. I was told that should I fail to ...

Cheers for the response fellas.

Has anyone else been given a pre-joining fitness test?

I received a letter from the AFCO this morning saying i have until the 8th November to complete PJFT at a local fitness first.

The test includes a 2.4 km in 10:30, 40 press ups in a min and 41 sit ups in a min.

I can handle the run and situps ...
