I could'nt help but notice how a lot of the 'younger ones' among you are worried about fitness whilst at Raleigh.
I was in the RNR in the early nineties and did my part 3 at Raleigh. At the time I was 27. There were three of us who were all about the same age and the rest were 19 to 21. All three of us passed. We were'nt outstanding but somewhere in the middle. In fact I really did'nt find any of it a problem as we already had a practice run with the PTI's at our RTC. Just watch out for blisters when you do Dartmoor (if they still do it).
I am now considering re-joining the RNR and probably will have to do Raleigh again!!! I am now 42. I am not looking forward to gaining fitness again but as they say 'No Pain, No Gain'.
