For those of you looking to join the corps, i would say the best bit of advice would be that its not all about the phys and if anything it is one of the easier parts of training, well its still damn hard, but i found that after about ten weeks of hanging out my hoop day in day out, it just becomes n...

No its not all screaming, if you do what the corporals say, when they say it at 100mph then they will be happy. Saying that there is always one who lets the troop down, which results in the troop being punished.

just come home from sunny lymstone, after the first 4 weeks of training. Im loving every minute of it, well apart from the time spent in front support place! . If anyone wnats to know anything about the first few weeks, feel free.

well im finally going down to lymstone for RT, i'll let you know how im getting on. And thanks for all the advice and help over the last few years.

Start RT week on monday and doubt i'll have my P45 by then will this be a problem when i get to CTC?

Each test on prmc you get a score between 1 and 6. We were told we had to get higher than ten, although the guys who didnt were allowed to stay, so i think if you get less than ten you get zero for that particular test.

on prmc we were told to wear them to walk in as much as possible, and apply neats foot oil to the boots. And also give them a good polishing. this has worked for me so far.

i was getting 21 mins for 3 miler and my bleep test on prmc i got 12

ive passed prmc its for rt.

Yeah you dont have to pay for the rail fare, but dont know how many of these you get a year, think its 4 but dont quote me on that.

Ive gone and lost my rail warrant, anybody know if its possible to get another without much hassle. Im going to ring the afco on monday but would just like to know now.

see you down there jcap3

Decided this would be a good idea so that me and my mate can push each other. The only thing is im quite alot fitter so was wandering if anyone has any ideas for sprint or circuit training in pairs when there is a difference in fitness levels?

well done for having the balls to admit failure, but also to go for it again. Good on ya mate!

i agree with jay, but to be honest mate you said it, going to the physio is the best bet.

my 3 miler before i went was 21 mins and bleep test score was 12. If youre getting say 35 press ups, 50 sit ups, running 3 miles in 21 mins and can get level 10 on the bleep test, then you have the ability and fitness to pass, but it definately is about strength of mind, if you dont have this then y...
