1) 22 yrs
2) Yes
3) Very hard work
4) Whenever they need you
5) Final Thrust - Designed to test all the skills you have learned during training- It replicates the conditions of war- involves many different locations and helicopters and boats etc. :D

You should know all the answers to these questions, if you've read the Green Bible.

From the Green Bible it says if you are struggling but still trying hard and they think you have the desire and potential you will get to repeat fountdation again but occasionally they assess that an individual is not suitable (or slacking) they will be discharged.
