Not bothered if it's a crank.

it's something like 64km in 20 hours. go on you tube and watch sas down under good viewing if not informative.

you can't have done the real good stuff in the first few weeks. I'm in the ta not the regs, but i suppose the ta selection is a day of beasting to weed out the real mongies who just wanted a doss at the weekend, we didn't really learn anything at the selection weekend (why should you, it's an ...

Cheers for that buddy.

The recruitment Sjt at Glos TA told me that we only go down to exeter for the day. Travel fri night then do everything on sat, come back the sat night.

Has this changed recently then.

He said medicals are now done at unit before you even go on a RSD.

I read that in Soldier Mag too.
We did a 8 day OP in Iraq and the amounted of water alone that had to be carried in was mental.
But to be honest with ofspray body armour, and other bits of kit thats constantly being thrown at us. The weight being carried on OPs is going up and up.

Ha Ha doc thats ace! :lol: :lol:

I'm going for armoured engineer as it gets you out there to see some action, but don't quote me on this but i think you can concentrate on the combat engineer side of things. You can ...

I don't see why people say 'Oh don't worry about it, we've all done it' in such a blahzay manner.

Whenever I go out and get drunk i certainly don't become violent and i think people merely use drink as an excuse to make there stupid neandethol actions acceptable.
I'm not in the forces yet but have ...

In the side pouches I have my wash kit and boot cleaning kit, towel etc and in the other I have my shelter sheet, bungees and tent pegs with my cooker and fuel.
I put my goretex in the inside zip pouch under the top flap.

Obviously this isnt extensive but they are the main things I feel. I hope ...

Just had our breifing about our training and it was mentioned that If we go to catterick to do our CIC then it turns into 2 weeks of being beasted. Anyone got any experience of this and able to give any insight of whats to be expected. I know it'll be hard but they've made sound like hell

Going back to another post, one of you mention 'goretex'. what is it?????
