woah woah woah ill say it before someone like artist gets nasty . Mate your down at lympstone with 50 other blokes , make the time in foundation , the time to make mates your going to have for life , get to know everyone , talk to people dont be the nobber that sits in the corner listening to his ipod. That said you can take your ipod if neccesary , just its upto you not to get it nicked.

bestides that mate you seriously will have no time during foundation in which to use them , and if you do it'll be at lights out so dont get caught

Hey, im no expert, i haven't been down to CTC and am a good way off. but i think perhaps you'd be better of as has been said makeing frainds haveing a laugh when you can and apart from that ether working hard, or sleeping even harder after all your going to be wrecked nearly every day so i doubt when you get down there you'll have time or efort to listen to music.

as i said no expert but it just a bit of educated gess work

yeh exactly take them mate by all means , but when i was down there i wasnt able to use them .didnt have chance and to be honest the only time the ipod helped me was during a night i just couldn't sleep , i banged on a bit of chillout music and wolla sorted. But priority for you are to make some good reliable oppos.

ones you can trust that , wen you only have 15 minutes before lights out and you have a big inspection tommorow and you havn't got everything done but they have , thats when you'll be glad you took the time to talk to the guy in the bed next to you.

If you find the time to use your psp in foundation......good effort.

honestly mate , you may not think it now but when your down there the last thing on your mind will be to listen to or play your psp . It'll be either eat or sleep im afraid haah . i think the thing i looked forward to most in r.t was having the five mars bars you took from scran the previous morning haha .

Id take it, your going to get to know evryone weather you like it or not. i dont think there is anyone in my troop that does not own a psp, ipod and half f them have got lap tops.. obviously security is a promblem but no one has lost one yet.alot of people have psp and borrow films.. even more poeple have mini dvd players. its very relaxing to get out of your mind and concentrate on somethin else.
Getting time... in foundation i doubt you will get time as said and foundation is the time to really get stuff sorted and get to know people but when you get to week 6 i think it become very usefull. and you will get time on weekends whilst recomvering from the run ashore.
