Hello

Post by Kythe »

Hey People, my name is Kythe, I'm 18 and from Blackburn, I'm doing my BARB tomorrow and I'm pretty excited

I'm aiming for infantry

my fitness is pretty average but i don't reckon its close to being enough

started doing my training about 2 weeks ago and do some boxing training once a week

does anyone know how long it takes from the BARB to the next stage or is it dependent on certain factors?

when you do your BARB you will then be given your written medical papers, you need to fill them in and take them to your docs and ask for them to be sorted out. depending on your doc and on anything wrong on your medical determines the time frame.

You want to talk here,then speak English.
