no you get the normal two chances from civvies street, same as everyone else

If you have already served in the TA do you still only get 2 chances?

I suggest a TA/reservists forum.

I have a block of around 2miles that i have jogged around in 19 mins so probably about a mile in ten mins ( cracking bit of maths there)

Pressups i can manage about 15-20 in one hit at the moment.


You should be aiming to do a mile and a half in at least 11:30.

For RSC you should really be ...

If you dont manage any heaves aslong as you do well at everything else and put the effort in you will pass.

True ^ I f@#k my heaves up but they still passed me. Just give your best effort in everything else.

I passed mine on 6th May. What did you fail on?

But if you got something like RSC coming up, you might want to run it maybe 2 times a week to get yur body used to it ready for the 1.5mile test.

I do it every day, twice a day most days. Once in the morning and once in the afternoon/evening.

Thanks, but i've been told by the recriting officer I have to do pressups, situps and heaves, as well as a 1.5 mile run..?

Hi I have Recruit selection centre soon, and I was wondering about the pressups. How do you have to do them? do you just thrash out as many as you can as fast as you can in the two minutes, or to you have to take your time?

is it like... downupdownupdownup

or

Down..hold...up...hold...down..hold ...

Am I right in thinking that rugby tackling someone then kicking them in the head a few times with a standard issue combat boot will do the trick?

When I was on a look at life course with 1st Princess of Wales's royal regiment, I saw them practising unarmed combat in the gym. This was in preparation for a posting to Iraq.

I'm at the stage of the recruitment process where I have passed all the interviews and stuff, and have recruit selection in July.

Does anyone actually have first hand experiance of life in the infantry?

What's your timetable for the day like? (an example)

I'm going into 2nd btn Princess of Wales ...

Can anyone tell me what stuff they do in the medical at the selection centre? thanks.

Light Infantry are just that - light.

They go into battle with their webbing. no warriors or saxons, just what they have on their back.

Does anyone know when the 2nd Battallion, Royal Regiment of Fusiliers return from Northern Ireland, and what they will be getting up to when they return?

Thanks
