For me if I don't try I normally get under 7 miniutes for a mile and I am nowhere near out of breath. If I make it my best effort I get 5:00 exactly with a small rucksack of very light weight 10 lbs. I tried it last week and managed to get out of breath because of the breathing restrictions of the ...

I see, cheers. What about the webbing problem.

It is best to have webbing tight or loose?? I find when I did my 3 miler with ACF march and shoot. I found that it rattled and started bouncing like a knob jockey! what can I do to stop this. BTW I would never run in webbing on the streets only with a civi backpack full of clothes. I do this because ...

Thanks alot, I am really happy that you can have you feet supported I can do about 60 I do weight a ton though. Also for the runs you webbing is full of what exactly??? Rations, mess tins or weights???

Hi lads, I don't get it. I can hardly do any press ups 35-40 but I can run like the wind! 14 miles in 100 minutes including f@#k off hills. 14 chin ups when I am fresh. I just need to know how they do situps? Basically I mean Are your feet supported or what? Cheers

It is not just a TA training centre, 3 Para was there on some big exercise. I leave the cook house and see a mountain of arms just stacked on top of each other. I asked some of them about what thy though of the life in Para. Some said they enjoyed it others were leaving soon.

No not yet, I am in the target rifle team. We also had an firepower demo on military weps. quite interesting actually. We used the ranges at pirbright because they are free for me. My mate is a real sick c@#t. He thought about firing a live 7.62 ball round at the base. f@#k twat. also wanted to know ...

HI I have just returned from a visit to Pirbright. I feel like an idiot. I met a lad in the cook house que, f@#k mashed my face to shit when he said his time for BFT was 7.20. I literally fainted mentally. That is almost world record time. I swear he was about 16/17 looked like a right hard bastard ...

HI lads, I am worried about my abilities to do press ups. I can only do about 40/45 in one go. I can do about 33 Tricep dips, 14.5 full extended chin ups. My 1.5 mile time is 8.25. I measured it again on thursday. I am worried about RSC for PARA. By the way, I saw a program about bullying in the ...

LOL, I had some RGJ guys trying to recruit me for their regiment. Seemed like they don't like Paras. They started saying stuff about battle dishonours. One of them was ever younger than me . Although not too surprizing. Are there any trade battalions ie engineers or something in the Paras.

Yep I had a sgt from PWRR speak to me about the fitness in the reg infantry. He was quite impressed with my enthusiasm and gave me some books on jobs ion the military. Just a thought but what is the reg pay for Para soldiers who have been through everything?

Ok, cheers lads. I am training with my mate who is going to RAF reg in 3 months. I am not going into RSC for another year. I used to weight a ton but I dieted for 3 months and lost 60lbs well more like 56lbs. I am so glad you confirmned the sit up question cos I keep getting vague shite from my mate ...

Hi lads, I have been training for entry into the regiment but am unsure. I need some advice if I can make it or not. I can bo 1.5 miles in 8.48 with a small rucksack I weigh 82kg, can do 13 pull ups, 45 unassisted sit ups, oh, I need to know it I am meant to be doing them with feet under something ...
