Thanks for the suggestions guys. My physio actually suggested that biking would be good, so I'll give it a wirl and see what comes of it.

Cheers, Brent

I've recently come into a bad leg injury from an "out of aligned hip." Simple question really: If I was running 5 miles at a 7:30 min/mile prior to the injury, what distance would I have to cycle to get the same cardio workout now? I'm trying to think of activities to do instead of running...

Definitaly cheaper, no doubt about that! As for missing out on Lympstone, I did a PRMC back in July '04, so I know what that's all about... wink, wink.

Cheers, Brent

They're going to begin doing PRMC's over in North America? Where did you hear that? Would be convient though for sure!

It was well more than 18 months thought, I would say at least 24-30 months, it's been awhile! But they've yet to update so much literature in the AFCO's. It all still reads 30 months.

I'm needing to grab new set of runners, and I'm wondering if anybody can suggest a good make/pair of trainers? I'm having a lot of "stress" problems, so any shoes with great shock absorbing qualities would be excellent!

Cheers,

Brent

**Edited title for proper wording.

Lots of laugh Artist, yes, harry has the right idea. I'm refering to what kind of gear guys are going onto current operations with. Sorry about the acroyms Artist, I wasn't trying to confuse the shit out of you. I'm a "Gear Whore," that's why I'd like to know. As for what CIRAS stands for ...

Hey there fellows, I'm just curious what the Royals are sending chaps overseas with as far as kit goes. Are most running a standard PLCE setup, or do most of the guys go for a custom rig, out of their own pockets? Do any of the Royal run a CIRAS setup? Anything else?

Cheers, Brent

Since when have they had one at the barracks, as of a year ago, I didn't know of it. Has it just popped up? Do you know if it caters to just the army seing how it's an RMP base, or does it do all the sections of the AF?

Cheers, Brent

Hello:

I'm stuck over here in Canada and I'm wondering if anybody can do a small favor for me? I'm looking to find out what AFCO locations there are in the area around Chichester? I know about AFCO Brighton, but there must be others. Thank you so much for any help.

Cheers, Brent

I had the exact same thing happen to me, three days before I left Canada to go to the UK to begin RM selection. The only difference was that I got in a drunken fight with a farking indian at my graduation party... I didn't even have a beef with him, lol! Spent pretty much the whole Canada Day holida...

LOL Artist... must have been a shocker huh?

Are heaves done with palms facing away, or towards the person doing them? Also, what phiz did you do in the way of pressups and situps?

Cheers, Brent

To many to count mate...

But it would be funny as hell!

Well said AC and Artist...
