Ive got my 1st interview tuesday the 4th august and on my app i put paras as 1st choice. On my fitness assessment my run time was way off the paras at 10:13 so obviously im not gonna get in!! so my next choice is the mercians, will this be brought up and how should i go about my interview? I have to research my chosen regiment so should i just go for the mercians and not let on about the paras or tell them long term goal would be to get in? any advice from anybody would be most helpful as i know/think i could always try the paras at a later date.

Hello pal

In my opinoin I would just stick with your choices the way they are and research both jobs as best you can and complete the interview best you can!

Don't forget your still going to be traning before you go to ADSC so therefore you may be able to run your mile and a half in under 9:40 (providing you lift the weight of course).

Even if you do fail the run buddy they will still offer you your second choice so you can still go mercians anyways! Hope that helps.

Good luck and all the best!
