Before you all get too carried away with looking down your nose at fat unfit civvies just remember this.

If you made a scale of 1-10 1 being the unfit and 10 being the fittest then you are all only about 6 or 7 compared to the pro's. And you can included the rest of HMF with that. And I don't mean ...

It was like this when I joined but ...

You wont be tested for drugs during the application process, and if anyone ask you have you taken drugs just lie and say no.

But once you start training you could be tested at anytime till the day you leave the service.

Now bearing in mind it could take you well over 6 moths to go through all the ...

I was tested for drugs about 4 or 6 times last year in the Army that is. And that's about average for a year. They even came out to Canada when we were on excersise to test us. These test can come at anytime and the first you know about it is the morning of the test. The gates are shut and noone can ...
