If I were you I would def take one its such a morale boost to hear a friendly voice cheering you on after a shit day! They say you are only meant to use them outside the dhobi shop but along as you dont walk around chatting away you can use them around you accom.

Theres a few guys in my troop who transferred...

I don't think its a problem but im pretty show they cant go back in the navy if they want to leave. You dont have to have an interview or PJFT or any of that crap tho.

Cheers lads, hope to cya down there soon! Will try and keep you all posted.

Good luck to Fairweather and hamerc, cya down there, anyone got any tips or advice? cheers, chris

I took 4:14, which was a shit time but I done pretty well on the other tests. Anyone can get that time, believe me!

Well done... thats the easy part out of the way then!

It's pretty common, what you're doing is running with your shoulders tensed up too much. Try relaxing them and don't bother pumping your arms hard unless you are sprinting.

Lol. I'm sure if you ask Cpl Hill he'll get it on disk for you.

You won't find it anywhere else there's no point in looking!

Confirmed with my AFCO today - I will be starting basic on 16th Feb.

I could run 3 miles in about 20min before I went. (On road).

We were lucky enough to be in the new San Carlos block in CTCRM, even tho we were on the top floor! The rooms housed 6 men, not 15 like the old block.

Tips for PRMC:
- Keep practicing the gym tests, good scores on these are vital and ...

Me in a month! lol

pull-ups-6

I didn't find any of the phyz too hard, the toughest part was adjusting to the military life, particularly the rm ways. If you keep your head up and take any shit they give you on the chin you'll be fine, you just have to crack on and take one step at a time - its only four days long so ...

Just back and passed the PRMC, willing to answer any questions you've got...

My Gym test 1 scores were:
Press-ups-45
Sit-ups-70
Bleep Test-11.9

Good luck to anyone going tomorrow (Fairweather, Faddius).

Will give you all a detailed account when I get back...

Cya there fad.
