Hey People, my name is Kythe, I'm 18 and from Blackburn, I'm doing my BARB tomorrow and I'm pretty excited
I'm aiming for infantry
my fitness is pretty average but i don't reckon its close to being enough
started doing my training about 2 weeks ago and do some boxing training once a week
does anyone know how long it takes from the BARB to the next stage or is it dependent on certain factors?

when you do your BARB you will then be given your written medical papers, you need to fill them in and take them to your docs and ask for them to be sorted out. depending on your doc and on anything wrong on your medical determines the time frame.

Enough of the text speak.
You want to talk here,then speak English.
I will not say this again.
The next time I see'U' as opposed to 'you'the post will be deleted.
