Leave for training this weekend. Nervous, but more eager to just get there and get it done. Packed everyting on the kitlist plus a few extras people suggested (zinc oxide tape, karabiner etc)

Only posted a bit on here, but I'l do my best to stick my head round the door as often as I can. To be ...

Il put a diary up on this thread as soon as I get back. There seems to be a few conflicting ideas with what goes on there exactly, hopefully I'l be able to settle those.

Wish me luck!

Got my ADSC next tuesday.
Going for Paras as it seems you guys are (9.18 runtime?)

I'll put a bit of a diary up when I get back, I'm going to Glencorse aswel, hopefully give you a bit more insight.

Best of luck Hal!

Out of interest, how long was the wait between passtin ADSC and your basic start date?

Anyone else going on this ADSC date?

Cheers,
Ben

Yeh, he was very grateful to the guy that saved him, as you would be...

Dingbat!

Put all your questions in one post and stop spamming up the bloody forum.

Or better yet, use the search function.

Ronnie, you may have just been on the telly!

McNobbers Tour Of Duty on ITV 4 had a section on PF in Musa Qaleh, and a lad rescuing a danish bloke with a campbed.
Some crappy reconstructions mixed with the usual mobile phone footage. Fair play to Mark Wilson, much deserved military cross!

So I'm sat at my desk, sneakily listening to music, picking my arse and generally being bored whilst waiting for the AFCO to magic me up and ADSC date, and I got thinking...

Plenty of people on here asking about fitness standards.."how much?" "how far?" "how many?" and "how often?" seem to be the ...

A note on mapmyrun.com. I measure a 1.5mile route with it, and later discovered it was about half a mile short. Google earth has a measuring tool that is much more accurate.

Bad news mate, whats the process for you now then?

Itl just be nerves, and if you've been worried about it you might have over done it a bit? plenty of rest before u go and just go completely balls out when its run time. Youl be fine.

Good Luck

Yep, 2 interviews. Both asking more or less the same questions to be honest but the second one was with someone more senior at the AFCO. I'm going for paras, hence the running like a madman to keep my 1.5 time down!
Good luck with ADSC!

Derson, post all the details when you get back!

RIP

what a crappy week....

Not got a date for ADSC yet sadly, passed 2nd interview today, waiting for docs to get my stuff back to the AFCO which should happen tomorrow. Looking forward to getting it booked and passed though!

good luck with yours Derson!

Ckinki, you got a date for yours yet? what you going for?
