I failed it because I just couldn't do it and I knew I wasn't going to pass so half way through I stopped the treadmill.

And yeah, I'll get prepared for it now and do it again later on.

I'm so pissed off with myself, I feel like giving up on the Navy now.

Well he didn't actually feel my bollocks properly, just quickly checked if it was all there.

My mate who's in the RAF said they did the same on his medical so I thought it was normal.

Alright mate,

I took the test last week. I'm not particularly fit but I managed to run the 1.5 miles in 9:15.
I had to do it within 12:48 (being an old geezer) even still it wasn't that hard.

Also when you do port at another country you get put up in a hotel and get spending money (which means good nights out!).

Also, I'm off in for Weapons Submarine so I'm just wondering what kind of stuff you learn in the classroom there?

Alright Andy?

Let me just sneak a question in, what are the other recruits like in general? Is it easy to make friends and that?
