Thats what pants are

Aren't pants the things you wear on your head, with pencils up your nose, to prove you're a loon? Wibble!

Do you get odd looks when you confuse your pants with your trousers, or are you american?

Yeah, I had picked up on that one mate. It was a joke...

So what do you call your skidders?

I don't know how hard the beastings will be, but CV is one of my strong points so I am confident about that and the assault course.

I said that and I found the assault course hard. Remember after the bottom field your f@#k to do anything else, and we had to do it in real thick mud. No offence mate but ithink ur underestimating it. Always strive for maximum, I was aiming for 60 pressups but managed to get 40 when i got down their. Its also mental mate you have to stick at it no matter what.

On the PJFT, is it better to get the best time possible or quite a high time so it appears you improve a lot further when you are tested again?

go for your best effort

When are you tested again?

AFCO said to me to get the best time poss under 9.30 really. Then they have a bit more confidence in you when putting you in for the PRMC.

You only get tested once in the application process on 1.5 miles

Future marine,

What do you think will look better, just a shirt and tie, or a shirt, tie and blazer/jacket?

Personally i would say a full suit looks smarter and i would imagine most will agree, i was told strictly by my AFCO to wear a suit. You can get a decent suit that looks smart for about a hundred quid if you look around, you dont have to buy a designer one its just about making a good effort and impression with your appearence...pride in ones self.

Just my opinion.Good luck with the interview.

Dwarfy,

If you turn up clean, shaved, wearing smart clothes (shirt & tie), polished/clean shoes and no jewellery or stupid haircuts (pink mohawk) then you'll be marked as having been of smart appearance. Not everyone can afford to spend money on a suit. If you've got one or can borrow one and it's smart then why not wear it but if you haven't then I wouldn't worry so much about it. Your attitude and how prepared you are for interviews etc will make a bigger impression.

I don't think they have a dress code at the door but "no jeans, no trainers" would be on it if they did.
