Alright lads. Just to let you know that you will do your oath about 1-2 weeks before you leave for depot and you will get your joining instructions either at your oath or through the post near the time you leave for training.
I was worrying that i hadn't received anything and it was 3 weeks before i left. But, i got everything done, so don't worry lads
Good luck fellas

Just a quick question for the lads who have done PRAC, did you get a date for that as soon as you passed ADSC? I have just rung up my AFCO to let them know I passed ADSC and they just confirmed my job choice and gave me a date to join depot, no mention of PRAC? Said something about there not being the staff up there to do it?
My date was 18/10/09 so still happy with that!

Yeah i got a date a couple of days later after doing ADSC. That's pretty strange there not doing it, it was told by my AFCO and at PRAC that anyong wanting to join the Para Reg had to go and do Prac first.

Yes I got my date a few days after ADSC. You're missing out if you dont do PRAC I really enjoyed the few days... and it was a good wake up call for a few of the guys on my course, as they found out they were no where near fit enough.
