Hello ive just received my PRMC date and its the 8th of March. Really cant wait, just wondered if anyone else has this date. Thanks Luke

Wow fancy the chances of that...Same date?

Wow haha...speak to you soon Luke...

Dan

Alright lads, well done on gettin to this stage. Just keep training and good luck. I'll speak to you later on msn.

Dom

All the best - now is the time to up training.

I dont believe it, the staff at your AFCO must be really efficient. I started my application at the start of november and did all my test about 2 weeks before you did all of yours and my PRMC is not until April 3rd. Lucky bugger!

Nick

I handed my application in on the 2 November, and twice have had to cancel visits to my AFCO, But Luke and I did our Recruit tests on the same day 7 December i think! He did his medical and PJFT 2 days before me and we asked for the same PRMC date.

I did my recruit test on the 21st November, I then had my interview in mid december and then my medical and PJFT in the 2nd and 3rd weeks of Jan respectively. As I understand it the AFCO have to 'bid' for your place on a PRMC, so they told me. They must have just took there time bidding on mine i guess.

Nick

yes i was quite surprised with the speed of my PRMC date but im just really excited now but a bit nervous too. Im just going to give it me all. Luke

Aye, Good on you mate. You two all ready for it training/fitness wise?

Nick

Well I know Luke is fitter than me, but hopefully will be more fit by the time PRMC comes...3.5 weeks eek.

I must say Im well up for it now, more than I was when Luke told me this morning!

I just want to get down there and take the beasting and pass....Im sure Luke feels the same.

Dan

Just dont drop out and keep going and you will be fine. What training are you doing up to it lads?

Well ive been into training and spports since ive been a wee nipper and have always been a member of sports or athletics clubs. I started training specifically for RM in about Aug last year. I can do 67 press-ups in 2 mins and max out at 82, 72 sit ups in 2mins 15 pull-ups and 3miler in 17:38.

Every day i do a routine of press-ups (3x60), sit-ups(3x75) and pull-ups(2x10)in the morning, then in the afternoon i usually do some weight circuits and/or running. The running varies from 3-9miles depending on the weight circuits i have done, but i try to make evening exercise including a good warm up and down last 90mins.

Also fitting in 2 days rest a week on which i go swimming for 30mins on each

Nick

i just go to the gym most days and do lots of press ups and upper body work. My stamina is fine though. Luke

I got my PRMC dates the other day.... March 5 - 8.

Sod's law really, but i suppose i'll be heading home, covered in bruises and completely knackered, about the same time you're arriving full of energy and confidence.

Can someone please explain to me, this is a really stupid question but PRMC...is it 3 Days or 4 days (in total...you arrive on day one, then day 2 is 3miler etc, day 3 is gym test 2 etc, 4 fitness brief and leave?)

So there for my PRMC starts Wed. 8 March I wont be back till saturday.?.? is that right...?

As for training Since my interview I train 2 times a day at least 3 times a week, most of the time its more though. I Road run in evenings and saturdays I have Rugby matches Sundays is my only day off and even then i do upper body, if im not to stiff from Rugby then ill go for a 20 min run.
All that with loads of upper body work inbetween.

EG: yesterday morning i ran 3 miles upperbody work, etc.
got home from work and ran another 3 miles with upperbody work again.

Luke mate im just emailing you mate about the bleep test!
