Yeh they're constantly saying "you lot better stand by next week when your get out of jail free tabs come off" lol.
Worse part so far has been the first few days when I'd wake up in the middle of the night and think "where the f*** am I?"
There have been many hoofing bits, laughs with oppos,
training team banter, even running as a troop in synch is satisfying.

I have nothing but respect for the training team, even though some things do seem harsh I can see the purpose already with the attention to detail etc. Our troop seems to have a rep as being good in the gym, so they are concentrating on our admin and timekeeping.

Parents day yesterday and unfortunatley due to an ankle sprain I was not particpating (the PTI said to us injured "you can stand at the back and sell popcorn" which I actually believed lol) as the parents happily filed out, our troop had a thrashing which saw about 3 lads faint and another 3 run outside to throw up!
Us biffs felt awful just sitting there watching.

Nah it very early days yet but so far so good.

I think something was said about warrants but again its all explained in a lecture in week 1.

Yes prmc's have been every week for the past few weeks. Lots of people wanting to join, always a good thing.

And as for the goosing we got when the parents left the gym, everyone knew it was gonna happen. GGHT, u lucky person, sat there and smiled. Don't worry oppo, your time will come :wink:

Thats the idea of a warrant.... The thing is that you only get 4 a year. So i decided to save mine and use them for summer leave and later weekend leave dates as my parents drove me home this time.

alright lads, hope your enjoyin our leave.
yeah parents day was the hardest thing i have ever done, the thrashing we got after the parents left was nails. GGHT, your ankle better be sorted by monday because i know how much you want to crack those cheeky camp circuits. And luke, your right we all best stand by for a goosing when we get back to ctc without those lumi tags. as chad as they looked ill be wishing i still had it on i bet.
to the guys starting training soon i would say that your best taking a good ironing board cover. quite a few hangers id say 20, not just the 6 as told. and some trouser hangers. also bring a good sense of humour because your going to need it when your getting thrashed and ironing sheets at 3 in the morning. remember, its all going to be worth it in the end though.
