Does anyone know roughly how long it is from passing or attending ADSC chosen regiment paras, to actually getting to basic is roughly?

Got my ADSC on 3rd August and got so many questions before then but AFCO just keep saying dont worry just get down there and do ya best!

Thanks again all!

Don't think there really is a set time frame mucker. I passed in July, go away in October, but i'm sure it is going to be longer and longer as more and more people seem to be joining up!

Any questions mate, PM me and i'll do my best!

Did you have to or have you done the PRAC course too then?

I haven't done the PRAC course. My recruiter said that as I was in before there was no need as I should know what to expect with the fitness, discipline etc (he's a sound bloke and Para Reg!) :wink:

So just got my start date, bit lucky I think mate! 8)

sweet! good run time mate, i found the 1.5mile course at colchester really easy when i did for it some reason, the log is the best part of the weekend i found, its strangley satisfying seeing everyone else dropping off the log when your still on :o
