I was at RSC Pirbright last Tue/Wed and PASSED!! WAHOOO!!! Got my first choice job - Engineering Tech in the Signals.

All I can suggest is you try your hardest whilst at the RSC guys. And get as fit as you can before hand.

Best of luck lads!

Well done Army!!

I was one of the 35,000 at Twickenham on Saturday afternoon watch you sink the Navy 53-16!

Brilliant match and a dominating second half.

Well done ElDiablo! I will take your advise with me on the 13th when I'm at Pirbright. I hope to god I can get in - I have been training hard for the past couple of months near enough every day and I have felt myself getting fitter and fitter with every passing week.

And the Army beat the RAF...

Anyway, it promises to be a good'en whatever way it goes this year.

Hi ya Kiwi - I spent the weekend with family in a caravan near Gt. Yarmouth (good fun!!)

Saturday and Sunday morning I woke up early (despite a bit of a hangover Sunday!!) and ran along the sandy/pebbled coast WHAT A WORKOUT!!

The loose gravel/pebble and sand made every step a bit of a trial ...

Hi Kiwi!

I've got my RSC on the 13/14th May - 18 days and counting!!!!

Three things I've GOT to keep in mind

1 - Train Hard
2 - Train Hard
3 - Train Harder

I'm going to try to get into the Signals, Technician Group, Systems Engineering Technician (Systems) as I am an IT administrator at the moment and have done about 4 1/2 years of that kind of work, that's what the Recruitment Centre suggested I go for.

As it is a technical trade the physical aspect ...

One thing that kind of 'frightened' me, or opened my eyes, was the RSC video I watched the other day.

In it they interviewed a couple of recruits that said they had tried 2 and 3 times to get in! And one of the training Corporals there said a lot of people have to come back for a second try...

All ...

True true. I found a nice page just yesterday:

They mention the importance of 3 proper square meals a day that everyone keeps harping on about - guess I'll have to do that! :-) Have a look though Kiwi; good reference ...

Hi Kiwifella!

Up until the last week I had been doing longer distance 'medium pace' running/jogging to up the old cardiovascular (sp?) which worked to a tea as you have been doing. Long runs down Public Foot Paths and the like (live out in the sticks!).

The last ...

I am going to the RSC at Pirbright on the 13th May and have been for the past nearly two months been slowly upping my fitness level overall.

I've reached a point now where I can do the 1.5 mile run in 10ish minutes fairly comfortably but I am more concerned with the upper body requirements.
