Did you read all that I wrote????? QUOTE:

Strict attention to detail is another thing required in RM Recruit Training.

Not in training, they work as hard if not harder than the recruits. Cheeky Scrote!
Do officers have to do their own Phys in training as well? I've heard running is undignified and frightens the men, so they get one of those MOA jobbies to do it for them?

Mister Purple,
Young jackanapes and impudent fellah.
I did my own phyzz and my MOA Mr. Lanning,
a retired Mne. was nearly 60. He was switched
on and took great pride in the care of his Young
Sir.
I was amused at ITCRM now CTC when I was a
recruit to observe a very plump YO being instructed
by a PTI to put more effort into his regains. How he
suffered.
Normally I was too busy to observe
YO training and I just wanted to survive.
As you know YO commando tests have to be completed
in faster times than the recruits- so don't extract any more
of the urine.
Kind regards,
Chas.

It's self-depreciation more than anything Chas. I'm in the process of applying for a bursary - just got POC & AIB left, so the joke's on me as well.

Aye, that'll be why we were held up for a bit on our 30 miler - wouldn't do to have us mere mortals doing it as quick as our better-bred brethren
Most alliterative post of the day??

Wasn't meant to come out like that.
Meant to say Chas has given me some pretty helpful advice on a Commission in the RM and as an ex RM and Officer, I listen to what he has to say to gain an insight etc.
Anyway, don't you listen to the advice the other serving and ex-serving say on here?
Yes?
So you can have it after I've finished.
