Passed me interview yesterday!! Medical next week...I told the AFCO I didn't want to do my PRMC til April time to make sure I'm fit enough for it, she said to ring her end of Feb to confirm when I want to do it. PJFT not a problem, can do it easy at 9min 40, so as long as the Medical goes alright I've just gotta keep putting the work in for PRMC.

I had my RT on Tuesday, there was only 4 of us, and we all passed. :lol:

Medical on Friday, Interview on Tuesday, and maybe PJFT too... though I'll see whether I'm up to it... not sure yet. Training slacked off a little over christmas... :oops:

That sounds pretty harsh...to be honest, the RT seemed fairly straightforward, I can see the difficulty in it, but to fail it you do have to be pretty thick. What score did you get Tom?? When I did mine, there were four of us, two for the Navy, and two for Marines. Both of us for the Marines passed well (though they didn't tell us the actual score), don't know about the others, but it does show that some people really don't know what they're getting in to if they can't pass that. The Marines have a reputation for being thinking soldiers, if you can't pass the RT you really shouldn't have applied in the first place.
