Foundation staring 26th September!

Post by lilsuvv »

Got my date to join up yesturday night when my careers adviser shouted at me in the street on a night in the town (celebrating all my mates A level results). Can't wait to join up, just a little apprehensive ( if i have spelt it right), don't have a clue what to expect, just going to get my head down, consentrate, and do as i am told!

Fitness is good and feet are starting to get a pounding from wearing in the new boots! All is good though, might be worse when i join, onlt time will tell.

Any one else joining up on this date then you blatenly no you have to reply.

p.s lew you aint got long now till foundation, how you feeling, hows the fitness!

Congrats with you A-levels mate very well done. Try not to worry to much about the fitness. Press-ups, chin-ups 5 min miles, they will build you up to the required level of fitness. Also one more thing, foundation is shit, I hated it but it does get better. Look forward to seeing you down there.

foundation is pure bollocks but its a must as its teaches you the basics, all you have to do is be on time for everything and do as exactly they say which is pretty hard for some in our troop! but nevermind the extra phys because of it is all helpfull right?? :-?

Yep 8 days :D can’t wait to get on with it now.

Fitness is better than it was, upper body strength is better, have had the last 4 days off of training though, have been as ill as a dog who sits out in the rain eating ice cubes, but I’m starting to feel myself again (no pun intended :P)
