Andy says:How long was it from passing your PRMC to your start date out of interest?
I passed the 21/11/06 PRMC and i start RT on 05/02/07. some guys from mine stat on 08/01/07, and i think some went in on 11/12/06. so i guess it up to you, and whether there is enough room on that date.

Lol, I go in on the 5th feb mate, not 5th Jan, :D although i wish it were in 4days, training on my own is getting kinda jaring.

On the issue of being nervous, no nerves have hit me at the moment, I felt at home when i was down there, so i just can not wait to get back to CTCRM.
I have like 35days. :P

what id do to be in your place now honestly do your best to get in fella but yeh haah dont quit your job yet. To get as far as the prmc is quite an achievement in it's self to be honest i know it may sound stupid but the thing that pulls up alot of people is the medical and the interview. get through them and with the right training you should get into R.T.
Don't consider failure and then it wont consider you!

Think I'd better hold out till I get my PRMC cuz as you may have seen in my other post me being red/green colour blind may mess everything up :(
