Re: Para fitness Programme

Hello, I posted the plan about 4 posts up and to be honest I've changed it loads since I really got into it.
Managed to get my bike down so I'm doing a 3 mile benchmark run and two 5 mile runs with a cycle in between them of about 10-12 miles on average with some savage hills.

I know next to ...

Do you know how this effects RAF Regiment Officer recuitment?

Going to be applying next Dec so it may change but that'll be pretty damn annoying.

Thanks

Hello,

I'm also at university at the moment and am going for RAF Reg Officer. Have you looked at the different university organisations?

I looked at the University Officers Training Corps run by the Army but they've stopped recruiting :x . In that regard it would be nice to have a more general ...

OK thanks. Checked for local TA squadrons (or whatever they're called) and the nearest one is the Signals and is pretty far away for a car-less student.

However, I'll definitely check up on the RMR.

I also found the nearest ATC squadron and was wondering how applying for Adult Sergeant would look ...

Hello,

I started off by running 40mins at a time and running on Mon, Wed and Sat. When running I went at about 70% so faster than jogging but not really speeding either. I had to stop quite a bit but just walked for 20-30m or so then carried on.

I also did a body weight exercise plan on Tues ...

Hiya,

Had the chat with the RAF careers today.

Asked him about the RAF Reg first and he said that there's quite a bit of competition at the moment and that they're being "kinda picky" about who they accept in regard to selection. When I asked him what sort of extra-curricular activities I could do ...

Hi,

Not sure I can help at the moment, but I have an hour meeting with an RAF careers guy tomorrow at uni, and I'm looking at RAF Regiment or Police as well after graduating.

I'll be sure to ask him about the Police and how many applications they get etc.

Hope it will help, sorry if it doesn't :(

Ok thanks again for the advice.

Now time to have a crack at it. Here goes nothing!

EDIT: I'm assuming going in for Officer doesn't really affect the training, as I'd be aiming to lead by example as it were.

Beginning fitness, got 2 years to get it down

Hello,

Been reading posts for a while, but figured I'd find the answers faster if I joined.
I'm currently a 19 year old student on my second year. I'm actually looking to join the RAF Regiment but want to get as fit as possible so figured I'd go about it as if I was going to join the Paras (if it ...
