he'll have worn them out by then!!

too true mate!! i wish it was only 2 weeks away but ha-ho, 6 weeks to get ready!!

could do with a second pair of boots tho lol

best of luck lil-j '88, you defiantly seem determined enough.

certainly am slaphead mate, shame i wasnt going down closer to you, oh well, 24th october it is unfortunately!! ill catch up with you by the phone boxes sometime im sure

I know its a while yet but maybe it would be good to write a diary over the 32 weeks your there? Might help you focus, plus it'll make good reading

good thinking mark, let me calm down at bad times aswell, i wouldn't of thought of that, nice one, something to keep me sane!!

Diary is a great idea, many lads start one, very few get past the first few weeks, cos basically it takes up time that can be better spent on the lash or with your head down Be good to see one up on here, would stop many of the more stupid questions I thought about writing one over leave, but couldn't really remember what went where.

doesnt training calm down slightly after foundation? i hope it does lol i cant wait for that parents day at the end of foundation!! no more lumi stripe, no more getting used to military life, no more unusual routines or training programs! all becomes much better ive heard in week 4 onwards, thank god

whats exeter like someone? decent birds?

Best of luck with the training mate

cheers mate, i think im gonna need a certain amount of luck!




mainly with the birds in exeter tho and during drill, im w**k at that!

Question regarding PRMC-

I'm fit enough to do the PJFT (I hope), but my running times are mediocre and pale in comparison to others I've read on the site :/
Would you say it's determination and a good level of fitness, or do you need to be really really fit?

U obviously need to be fit, but determination and stamina!
its only 9 mins of your life go all out, you dont need to be super super fit for PRMC but fit enough, Foundation will transform you from fit enough to super fit!

It won't transform you into a Super fit bloke. Your fitness will improve as you progress though training. What goes on inside your head will be the biggest change and you will hardly notice it. You will start to think like a Royal Marine and less like a Civvy.
