I think his knowledge is not upto date(EX-WO1). When i was on my POC this question came up, whether you would have to do PRMC, for people in our situation. The answer the captain gave was that you would, this wasn't the case untill recently, however they told us that you're treated a hell of a lot different by the PTI team etc, so you aren't shocked when you start RT, through doing PRMC.

Well that's what i got told, i might just be an unlucky one.

Suppose it makes sense from a non-physical point of view. They have to make sure the posh POC chaps are comfortable being associated with the riff-raff of the lower ranks... :P

How different would you be treated then?

I couldn't tell you that, i've only done POC,(maybe the fact that i only stayed in the officers mess) its just what i got told as a reason for me having to do PRMC, i can't see it being physically any harder than POC so seems a reasonable answer, if not a tad unfair.

It could be argued that the POC is harder due to the fact that Officers are expected to go above and beyond what is expected of a recruit

Just passed my Psychometric test (Harder than I expected :o )

I was told that a lad a few weeks ago was allowed to skip his PRMC due to the fact that he had completed his POC a few months before. My AFCO told me that he would push for me to go straight into recruit traning.

I'm not too bothered about doing the PRMC but would be nice to start RT sooner than I would if i had to do the PRMC.

I'm actually looking forward to my PRMC, i enjoyed POC so would be nice aswell, to get back in the swing of things, and meet some people who i would proberly start RT with, before hand.

Yeah as long as the endurance course isn't done on the PRMC im happy. The only thing is that it means a few extra months of keeping fit while all the admin and results of PRMC are processed
