We were escorted (read; kicked out of the gates) at 11:30 and had to wait around for a good 30 mikes for the train.

It depends on if you get the cleaning done right and get everything returned to stores on time. We left at 11ish, but some lads have had to stay till half 2 (or so the Corporal would have us believe). Good luck with your PRMC mate.

It is one of the best feelings in the world getting on that train with your new boots knowing that the world is your oyster...and then getting shiters.
I used to look on with envy from bottom field.

rv8, I did my PRMC in July, on the Friday, we ran down to the platform around 11, and were in Exeter by 1130. However, due to the train being full, some lads couldn't get on & had to wait for the next train (an hour, I believe).
Listen to the duty Cpl, get all your admin done ASAP and you should be out of there early.

I'll second that, but add that what you don't want is excessive flab. Just take a little care with your diet, and do as much running and gym/circuits as you can and you'll be fine.

Hey now, no discrimination against fatties! Im no Brad Pitt stand in as I do carry some extra pounds (not the sterling type, neither). I also happen to eat like a machine. Diets may be useful in their own little ways, but limiting what may be needed energy is a big no no. I noticed I was eating a shitload more while at CTCRM over the course of my PRMC as the workload was pretty intense.
