What purpose does the AFC serve? I've lived in Harrogate and met ETS officers who taught there. Are you more likely to become a JNCO if you've been to the College? Why not just join as an adult recruit?

Like Tony D said you aren't allowed to call anyone Craphat mate, you haven't even got a hat yet. Any Infantry Regiment is hard work how about you find this out first hand and then call them crap.

You still could have got under 9.30, but if you didn't you still could have showed determination. The BFT is the easiest test in the Paras, and if you couldn't do that the staff must have been wondering what u must b like on the 10miler or whatever.

I'me not havin a go, i'me just saying that you can't (like all of us wannabe's) diss other regiments when we are in the British army, the best bloody army in the world. You are still serving Queen and Country whatever you do in the army.
