Hey guys unfortunately managed to get the same run time as last time 9m 46s. Gave it everything i got, trained hard and although my runtime where i live on the flat is 9m flat somehow manages to be 46s slower at selection. Showed all the determination i could be putting myself through it all again even got a good report stating i was an excellent prospect for the parachute regiment. Unfortunately although that should probably be a morale boost it doesn't seem to go anyway towards making me feel like i've acheived something. I'm going in the royal anglians 2nd battallion the poachers. Thanks for everyones help with all the random questions i've had.
