:cry: B~#@OCKS and F*@K :cry:

Just woke upto a letter from AFCO saying my ADSC date had now been changed from 16th july to 3rd of august!!!!!!!!

Well gutted and extremely annoyed!!

When i rung them its apparently due to the fact that i asked for an earlier date originally as couldnt get the 16th july off work however got that sorted and now they have changed it!!!!

So the lesson here guys is: once you get ya date unless its EXTREMELY URGENT that you cant make ya date, DONT SAY A THING!!!

Gonna go cry into a cuppa! :cry: :cry: :cry:

In my final interview the WO asked me about the 6 values of the army (discipline, selfless commitment, courage, integrity, loyalty n respect for others) so thats worth remembering
good luck..

nice one guys!

I'm going for Combat Med Tech, I really wanted to go for dog handler but there's like 20 places a year available and apparently most of those places go to ppl already in the army that want to transfer to RAVC.. so I dont think the chances r in my favour!

Im well nervous about the run n general strength etc, even tho I passed the pre-adsc (also colchester ) Im still doing pressups with my knees on the floor .. and still cant do even 1 chin up :roll: hows ur strenght?

dixie are u a girl too?
