question

[Richy_Boy]

I leave for raleigh in 12 days and i was just wondering what i should take all my gear down in because i have been told there isnt much space so i dont know if i could take a suitcase.

What would you recommend?

A suitcase is fine, they used to have a baggage room on each floor - i am assuming they will still do so.

Good luck and stick with it.

Another Question or two.

Is it fine to swim at raleigh in speedo swim shorts or does it have to be trunks?

Also what happens if you dont pass the 4.8mile endurance run?

When is the swim test?

Is there internet access so i can e-mail home?

[Gazza_2004]

u can wear swimshorts, even though they dont tell u , also if u decide to go odwn the pool one weekend to use the facilities, u will look a bit of a tit in speedoes

very good point.

Also what happens if you dont pass the 4.8mile endurance run?

then you should have worked harder prior to turning up to depot !!

you will probably have to have some navy cake lol

[Richy_Boy]

I am working as hard as i can, i trained so hard yesterday i was physically sick during my run.

Whats navy cake?

[goldie ex rmp]

ask a sailor lol

Navy cake? Now im confused. Unless they`ve changed the rules, the 4.8 mile run was`nt a pass or fail. Its ran at the slowest mans(womens pace) so was`nt to difficult(about 4 times around HMS Raleigh I think, its got some hills but not to bad)
It was freezing and throwing it down with rain when i done it....Loads of fun
