That's the way they do it that way at Lympstone too. Good luck (to your son!)

Although I can't say I know Deadhead well, we've exchanged pm's and I got the impression that he wouldn't jump on a remark such as the one I made- I wasn't making the point to get one over on Deadhead, I was making it so people on this forum who may not know about sociology realise that it is only o...

Sorry Fubar, there was me thinking Deadhead was old enough and ugly enough to look after himself...

'Thanks' for the grammar lesson- if you have any more grammar related posts I suggest you put them on- www.learn-english-grammar.com

'Cheers'

I think it will only be a problem if you think of it as one- if you're capable of doing press ups and chin ups I'm sure your shoulder can get through the POC.

Felias, are you not then gambling that you will:
1) Be put forward for a Corps Commission, and 2) That you will pass POC and AIB at a later date?

Congrats mate, you must feel 10 feet tall with all that weight off your shoulders.

My AIB's soon so looking forward to a detailed report...

It is possible to get the same results as carrying weight by just running up and down a steep hill- it really strengthens your legs and doesn't do you any damage. This is especially useful when on the POC you are required to do a 100m and 200m fireman's carry.

I'll be there on the 1st WbB.

Are you travelling down Sunday night?
