I was wondering about this also as there's been a lot of talk of things letting up. Maybe it's a good thing as less injuries etc

I have heard a lot of crack from mates that lads aren't getting the 'introduction to CS' anymore

Is this true?

Firsty whoever told u lads u got the first distinguished pass in 15 years is havin you on, loads of troops get a distinguished pass, i think both troops either side of ours got one. Lodgi, fair one on the tug of war, but to be fair i reckon the final would have been closer if we hadnt had to beat the AACC 3 times before going up against you. (cheating b$*%^&ds). Also i definetly wouldnt say they dont thrash you anymore, weve had loads, including 2 mud runs, one with rifle! And for the intro to CS, they deffinetly still do that, something you dont forget.

Good good :D

What you got left when you get back Sammy?

FFX 1 & 2 into Tests?

When I was there it was the old syllabus with tests, field firing then final exercise

Dunno what would be worse to be fair!

You have to run round the road the goes round the camp. It's about 800m or half a mile. Its horrible.
