week 18

[DirkDiggler]

Alright peeps
Just back for easter leave after about 15 hrs sleep feeling a lot better! Haven't been on for a while due to trouble with the computers at the church been US and then just been too busy really. Its week 18 already though, just come back off first base which was hoofin apart from some serious rain. Had a fun week in dartmoor for running man a few weeks back with some nasty snow as well! I think theres something like 33 originals out of 57 left in 888 troop then 1 backtrooper and one fasttracker. Hope everyones well and good luck to anyone startin soon or prmc. any questions i can try to help you out.

I have a question what is the PT like in training, is it runs and like circuits every day, Also do you ever get proper rest days in training or are the rest days just taken up with drill or in classrooms or something not to do with PT.

[dalo]

Also I was just reading a post in the para forum and they were saying how they do like milling in week 18 or something does anything like that happen in RM training.

[Winnie]

Nah thats what myself and a few guys from my troop were saying its dumb cause yeh your getting fitter constantly but there arent enough rest days so you are constantly getting cramp and other pains in your muscles.
Plus you dont end up getting enough sleep, well up to now i havent anyway, i just finished week 5.

888 troop, you guys are on the 2 floors above us, us being 894 troop, bet you hate our training team dont ya! lol, someone from 888 troop got press-ups for not asking permission to go by and calling the sgt a cpl. I went down and told the guy that our sgt was a so and so.

But yeh you guys lost a lot already, we are in week 5 and we are down to 39 now i think, out of 46 i think it was.

[Cockney]

and one fasttracker.

Probably a stupid question, but how do you get fasttracked?

[DirkDiggler]

he was a stinkin pongo so they fast tracked him to week 10 i think it was. Yeh i don't think much to your training team downstairs or how much you lot clean. You make us look quite bad!
As for the question about PT, you will do quite a lot of varied PT. You'll be in the gym until week 9 gym passout which i didnt really enjoy much but then you move onto bottom field which is a lot more fun but a serious hangout.

Out of everythink you have done, which has been the hardest think so far ?
Thanks wato.

LOL, it sucks so bad, our team give us like rounds every morning to make sure we are staying on top of it, and if they cant find something wrong they make something wrong, they are constantly saying, much better but loads of room for improvement! lol

Your training team sounds like mine, Constantly punishing us for absolutely anything, I'm 895 troop over in san carlos. The other troops in san carlos reckon we have it well hard, least we'll end up a hoofin troop although probably a small one.

[druadan]

Hey, you're the tossers who nicked our gucci accom We had to move out of San Carlos at the end of wk25 so you lot could move in, we're now crammed into the shithole that is the AACC block until King's Squad.

Must be nice having a small troop...we got down to about 35 at one point, but we've had copious amounts of back troopers all through training, I think partly because there's four weeks between us and the 881 in front of us...with Final Ex just gone, I think we're down to 28 originals out of 52, but still got about 45 in the troop! Nightmare. We had to split into two troops for all the exercises since Dorset Leap. Ah well...not long to go...got a buffer week when we go back, a couple of days at the college plus a run on the Tarzan and Endurance, then wk28 complete with cheeky Wednesday (Tarzan in the morning, Endurance in the afternoon), FFX 1 and 2, tests, King's Squad Can't wait to get out of this hole.

BTW, if you hang out doing the 5, 6, 8, 10 and 12 mile yomps, wait til you get to Killer Yomp...14 miles, Dartmoor, I carried my normal kit plus 200 rounds, 200 7.62mm link, 350 battery, 3 days rations, and CWS. That was possibly the most emotional day of training yet

Hehe, you got the hoofin wet and dry routine to come your way still lol. Hoofin that is....not ...that seriously is honkin, soaked through get changed lovely and dry 20 mins to cook food and get a wet down you and get changed back into your wet kit with bergan packed... horrible.
Im not looking forward to my next one 'Marshal star' dunno if i will pack it in before tho...gotta think...

[W.Mitty]

I to feel a lot better after a long sleep and a ly in!, only had one day of in the last 3 weeks at CTC! the range package was a nightmare, we ended biving out, along with full harbor routine all through the second week, along with numerous thrashings through out the days, the good old rifle lesson 11(leopard crawling!)

Cant wait to get back, double bottom field first period on Monday! and running man on the Tuesday,hoofin!

Well done to everyone who has passed PRMC recently.

Yeah we had it well easy in foundation, our DL is well laid back, but then we moved in to san carlos after week one and met the rest of the training team and their well harsh. Your DL took us for drill the other day, he's well strict, loves his yoga.

One of the back troopers has quit and i've got one of the others in my room, he isn't the brightest of sparks but he cracks us up with the shit he comes out with.

[Winnie]

haha, cpl N***** had you doin his famous yoga postitions i see...lol. its all good fun, you will learn to love him if you get him more, he is a real class guy, well our troop think so anyway. The other day we went to do drill and he had a hang over so we just sat in the drill shed the whole 2 periods talking while he sa in that little room in the corner lol.
God i wish i had him more often, such a cool DL, takes the mick outta everyone and just makes the whole troop end up laughing.

Oh yeh a question... Have you had the pleasure of meeting "bill" yet?
Your gonna love bill, lol, not...
"bill the hill"
