T.A p company

[markthestab]

hello all

im about to attempt T.A P company in october, and whilst im not worried about failing anything to do with fitness because ive prepared well its just a case of not getting injured and having the right attitude

nor am i worried about milling as ive had a fair few fights(not trying to sound hard ) and i dont mind getting hit

but im a little worried about the trynasium, specifically the illusion jump

could anyone give me a detailed discription of it, ive heard its from one plank to the other 40 feet in the air with one plank 7 feet below the other and this plank looks too far away to jump but its actually easy because its below you


the reason i say im not concerned about my fitness is cos i did my last bpfa in 9:04 and when i do it myself after my 4 mile run i always come in under 9:10

i can do 70+ press-ups and 80 sit-ups and always get a green pass on bpfa, and ive tabbed with 55lbs on the same distance required for the p company ten miler in faster time though this was without weapon obviously(and combat jacket as well), im ok at pull ups as well(can do about 15 over and undergrasp) though im not sure they are required

so i think its all about attitude, weather or not im seen to be putting in 100% and if i help others who are struggling or just be a jack b*stard and look after myself

and of course the trynasium, but im not going to come of it without completing it even if i fall off and die , but im just worried cos i will be a little bit scared and if the d.s notices it will i get marked down(because it is called airiel confidence) or will i pass if i complete the bloody thing no matter what

thanks for reading any comments appreciated, unless your a reg whos taking the p*ss

If your worried about something the last thing you need is to talk about it indepth and have a detailed description.

Good luck for October, warm up to the AACC is it?? ...............

as for a warm up to the all arms comando imgoing away with 29 for a week for a warm up for p company

hehe your probably right about not over thinking it just get it over with when it comes to it

thanks, i will do it but i just didnt want to look a complete wally, ill post back on here to let you know if i pass

[Doc]

you can stay and post on other stuff

From your original post you seem to have most of it squared away bud, so crack on and worry about the hiccup when you ...er....hiccup!

as for 29 well the least said about them the better (they get paranoid you know )

[markthestab]

will do mate

and if i do hiccup im only going to have 3 seconds or so to regret it anyway

Reference Illusion jump....

I was on the trainasium today, and its really nothing to be worried about. Its not 40ft high, its about 15-20ft high. And its jumping from a higher platform onto a lower one, and it looks a further jump than it is...hense the name.

You will be given, "standby" and you adopt the jump position. On "GO", dont think about it, just react to the command and jump. Once you do it the first time you will laugh at how easy it is.

on milling do they put you up against someone of equal size or is it random selection?

Same height and weight

[Jobag]

Just done the milling yesterday afternoon. They weigh you, then put you in catagories, e.g. 80kgs, 75, 70, etc etc... Then out of your catagory they choose 2 lads of equal height and build.

Milling was good, and i got a draw. Got knocked down a couple of times, but i was straight back on my feet again.

thats what counts though aint it, getting back up and having another go

ive met a lot of people whove come back from T.A p company as well with teeth missing, aparently you can wear a mouth gaurd now days but no one does because it looks gay, i would think any idiot can loose his teeth in an attmept to look hard so i might wear one

[Jobag]

Talking of mouth guards....2 officers on All Arms were wearing them for the milling. Nobody else was wearing one. Makes you look like a bit of a minge.

[markthestab]

ill save the brown shorts for the trainasium pal

yeah i think i will take a mouth gaurd and look gay rather than loose my two front teeth and look like an inbred
