[Ayrey]

Thanks lil-j

You'll have no probs passing from what you've told me, and it looks as if you're mentally ready and determined enough to get through the tough parts. I must admit, I feel exactly the same way and my PRMC isn't for another 6 weeks

Good luck and remember, you'll pass!

Cheers ayrey mate, good luck to you to, i hope i see you down ctc before long.

Once foundation is out the way ive heard training can be not so bad and maybe even a laugh! maybe im wrong, but im going to have as much fun as possible whilst fulfilling my dream, lol!! which will mean a few bevvies in exeter with the lads!

all resulting on prmc of course, eek

[Chappy]

Good luck Jamie - I`m sure you`ll do well mate. You`ve got your head screwed on and that surely must count for something.

Good luck mate. Dont call the Corporals 'staff' (I got away with that one luckily) or 'sir' (didnt that time) and dont fidget by the pool.

[W.Mitty]

Good luck

[slaphead_17]

we where told to call them staff

[lil-j '88]

Cheers lads, I'm on way to the careers office after this post for my prmc brief, ill ask them what to call the corporals, best not to get it wrong if possible!

cheers for the support, it's good knowing theres a few of us in the same boat, take care all, j.

p.s. there must be at least 1 person out there on same prmc as me!! lol, anyone? 30th august? from up north? lol no worries

[Daveb]

All the best mate

On my one, we had to call the Cpl's staff too.

I didnt have no one from MF on my PRMC either, but you meet loads of other guys and get on well with them all (well....most! hehe).

[lew]

We called the corporal’s corporal, and the PTI's staff.

I didn’t get a pre PRMC brief, I feel cheated in some small way now

[lil-j '88]

lol unlucky lew, we only had our pre-prmc letters that we received in the post read out to us?!? got our train tickets and had a few questions and then some confidence and reality boosters.

5 lads were supposed to turn up but 3 bottled it and left me and a lad from Berwick(near Scotland boarder i think) he seems a sound lad, also had quite a good crack with the matelot who gave us our talk, i'm on the same train as that lad so things could be worse, nice to have someone you know along side, even though ill be bricking it no matter what! shame about the long train journey from newcastle though!

Really excited now with 2 weeks to go, thanks again everyone, jamie.

[slaphead_17]

whats happening with the other three lads are they not doing there PRMC?

[druadan]

Some of them tell you to call the Corporals 'Staff' cos you're civvies and will save your blushes when you start calling everyone Corporal! Call the cpls Cpl and you won't get into any shit, arsey ones might pick you up for calling them Staff. PTIs are called Staff all the way thru training unless you know their rank cos no-one understands their poncey badges
