Is that your fitness test as soon as you get there? or in between or just in general?

Can't tell you for Catterick, but certainly in the Corps you have an RMFA (press-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups, bleep test) in your first couple of days. You should be turning up as fit as when you did your selection course, preferably fitter.

I think the first test is to see what level you are at so they can work on your weaknesses. We wont get back trooped within days it would be pointless?
