whether there is still a legend of a Colour Sergeant there. (Colours Beret)
Just to let you know... it was Colour Sergeant Berry, and my Careers Officer told me hes gone now (think promoted- he bloody deserved it!).

I have my POC (again) on the 10th March, but will re-post about that.

Good luck ...

Hi all,

Does anybody have a definate date for when everyone that passed POC and AIB finds out if they've made it from pool to '06 Batch?

I've heard a couple of whispers, one that it's around the 17th of this month, the other the 17th of next.

As everyone else is my position I'm sure agrees; the ...

Cheers lads,

I find out if I'm in the '06 Batch in mid July!

There were 3 other YO's on my Board, 2 others passed.

There was another Board boarding the day after me, which had another 4 YO's, but I don't know how any of those did.

to be honest.... everything that has been put in other posts is accurate!


Prepare for it- make sure your knowledge of RM is good, and you know all your examples of leadership from your Q 101 etc.

Be yourself- there's no wrong or right person to fit the bill! They're just looking for confident ...

Well lads, I've just got to say thanks to all everyone for all their advice because I made it!

It's up to fate now if I get from the pool to the batch!


Thanks once again!

Tonight at 2000hrs on channel 4 is Dispatches:Battle Fatigue.


I just thought it might be an interesting read for everyone on here.

Not stirring, but it's always good to be well educated about your employer.

Hi Chris, I use both glasses and lenses.

For POC I chose lenses I could wear 24/7, but i chose to take them out at night, clean them and leave them until the morning.

It's important to let your eyes breath.

The only point I found them to be a bit of a problem was after the sheep dip, as my left ...

AIB date is:

5th June

Unbelievable amount of work they've told me I need to put in for AIB!

TDB I believe you may well have met me, I was the lad in the suit?

Cheers lads (and Ladies)

Yer, colours is an absolute legend... I've never had to conceal laughter as much as by the pool, with him in those shorts :D:D

My gym test score was second to best, a Lad called Nutt (from Newcastle RMR) bettered me!

My scores are as follows:

Pressups: 60
Situps: 85
Pull ...

Well lads, I've done it! :lol: :lol:
It was a hard as I expected, and in parts even harder!

I'm going to write a small summary of my time there for anybody who's interested, but as Deadhead has already written a very comprehensive account, I will mainly talk about where my course was different ...

Can Deadhead or anybody else that knows tell me:

what time is the evening meal on the sunday before the POC?

Reason is I want to make sure I get a train that allows me to eat before bed


Cheers

Hi Adam,

I found the same thing, but am basically just using gained info from the freebie books that are given out. However I would also like to hear from anybody with recent experiance.

I've got my POC on 1st May. Anybody else down for that 3days?

I have just been for an interview with my CLO at the Manchester AFCO, and was told that as of recent:
Gym Test 1 at POC candidates are no longer required to press up, sit up or pull up to the bleep. It is in free time within 2 mins. All the other points/scoring is the same. Hope PO's find this useful.
