Hello, congrads on you deciding to join the army. Firstly, i would like to address the fact that your not in the services as yet. Therefore, have no idea of the way you'll react to training and courses to come in the future, you might find your self maturing and the special forces doesn't seem so gl...

Well done.

Thanks alot lads i'll have to look into it.

Hows it going? I've recently left the armed forces (7 RHA), after realising i wasn't gunna get where i want in life due to not going in with many qualifications, however now i've pulled my socks up and started studying a btec national diploma at level 3 in "Building service Engineering" An...

Alright then lads. Just a quick post my mum is interested in joining as a RAF Nurse, however she's 36 i know..she asked me about the physical part of joining because im in the army but i have no idea. Any other info would be valued.

She is a qualified nurse.

I havn't done any training in aldershot so far so no idea mate.

I didn't go ITC mate, i was based at pirbright surrey and now at larkhill 7 Para Rha so i couldn't answer your question mate.

You alright mate i made this post in may, I've now completed training. While i was in training i was given the choice of leave the army or she'll leave me...owell life goes on. I now have a nice fiesta and money.

My worst 1.5 time is 9.50mins, i'm not a expert trainer but what i did might not work for you but i started off doing 3miles with every lap i went up this massive hill(this is at best effort) then do the same and gradually increased the mileage, before i did phase one i was already running 8 miles b...

Its seems like you want to join the armed forces to learn MMA(mixed martial arts, and the other arts) get a life kid, i actually replied to your artillery post what a waste.

Coxy you need no former military experience to join 4/73 Battery, however you need to be switched on and reasonable fit, the course has a low pass rate so you need motivation and drive not just the thought of being a specialist. At larkhill you'll get booster training meaning you'll do more PT(Physi...
