I know there have been a few posts already about the structure of the course so i won't bother going over the same grounds.
All the main fitness tests - 10 pushups, 25 situps, bleeptest 9.01 and 3 miler (which is done in 22 mins) I found easy - just make sure you can hit double the targets normally and the fitness tests will be easy.
I also found that the course was as much a military introduction (inspections, marching, discipline etc) as a fitness test. A very good insight into the military lifestyle.
The ex on 2nd day was pretty hard work - the tab is alrite as long as you leg it up front (no playing catch up) - also when we arrived there were some beastings but nothing too major. We also practiced section attacks which was good fun and again a good insight into military training.
Through the night was also interesting - the team have some suprises but i'll let you find out about that. I did'nt realise aswell that you tab back from the harbour area
Lastly nobody actually failed the course, there was 23 people at the start and 5 people binned it cause they thought it wasn't for them - interestingly 1 of the lads was in the TA for 2 years and another was in the RAF Regt Auxillary for a year and they both dropped out. What were they expecting.
Apart from that you will have a good laugh, just keep your head down (grey man) and work hard. One lad actually told the Corporal to shut up thinking it would be funny (no joke) so we got 70 pushups to the Corporals count (nobody managed
Any questions what so ever, please don't hesitate to PM me.
