How is the MF world?

Post by druadan »

Evening all,

Glad to see a few lads cracking their PRMCs over the last week or two - been surprised that most of them seem to be pretty low in numbers. The 4 week course followed by another PRMC and straight into Foundation if you got a nearly-pass is a new thing, they must be trying to fill troops! Which is odd as well, as they've crammed another new troop in before Christmas (whatever troop has just come in (890?) is only having a week in Foundation block as there's another lot coming in on Monday). And all recruits now get a £1000 bounty if they introduce a friend to the application process who subsequently gets past week 15! I need to find some fit friends!

Anyhow, just finished week 13, been gassed (hang out - worst experience so far!), did helo drills today, hoofing :lol: Out on Dartmoor next week for Running Man and Survival Ex, then Baptist Run and phase 1 pass-out the week after (and Chrimbo leave, finally!). Pretty chuffed as I've been reinstated as section i/c - they've rotated through a few people who looked like they had the potential to do it, and I've been put back in place...so long as I do okay over the next two weeks I'll hopefully get me section leader's tapes after Chrimbo - just cos I'm a generally hoofing bloke 8)

Good luck to all those in the application process, see some of you down here soon...

Hey Druadan,
Nice to see you back on here and to hear that you're doing so well with training mate, well done. Sounds like you're rolling with it all okay, congrats on the section leader bit mate.
Best of luck, keep us informed of your progress eh?
