well ive just finished week five of training and im looking foreward to returning and cracking on with the remaining weeks. week five was by far the toughest so far as we had our third field ex quick cover which took place on woodbury common. this exercise included our first introduction to the ...

same here gavin, i couldnt resist gettin hammered last nite. going to regret it tomorrow!!!

alright lads. you looking foward to tomorrow gavin? ill see you down there bud.

bloody good question mate. when you pass prmc you are given a white book titled "are you ready to join the royal marines" which also has a 10 week training program in the middle. it says in the book you have to take the completed diary with you to basic. if this is true then im going to be in the ...

when do you start dave? cheers for the reassurance mate its good to know they need to hang on to as many recruits as possible!

thats what i thought dave. i dont think my fitness has changed dramatically since prmc so im not too worried and theres no chance of me being kicked out for not putting in enough effort. i did quite well on my prmc and was told i had a decent level of stamina/endurance. finished the assault course ...

hows it goin lads. good to see theres a couple of us starting basic next monday. how are you lads feelin? personally every day seems like a bloody week at the moment to me. CANT WAIT!!!!

alright lads, hows it goin? i start training the 21st aswell. does any body know if you can be kicked out if your fitness level is not as high as it was during prmc? my careers adviser told me you have to serve 28 days before you can quit so i was wondering if the same applies to being discharged.

alright lads, how it goin. i start recruit training the 21st of this month so ive only got aa week and a half now. cant bloody wait!!!

cheers dwarfy. any ideas how long christmas leave is mate?

dave is the 23rd the date for all down at lympstone to go on leave? i havent been told when i will get leave.

its funny you should say that gavin as i too have experienced looking like a grade a nobber buying a pair of swimming speedos!!!

im unaware of anyone else starting the same date as me from my afco. how you feeling dave? looking foward to training? personally its killing me having to wait two weeks!!!!

i agree with sloth in concern to losing fitness twice as fast as it takes to gain it in the first place. i trained for 18 months roughly prior to prmc to gain a decent level of fitness. since passing prmc i spent the first 3 to 4 weeks celebrating going out on the lash more and more whilst at the ...

changing the subject here a bit lads but has anyone got any advice on how to improve number of press-ups as i start training the 21st of this month. before prmc my numbers were quite good but since passing ive been out on the lash 12 too many times and the amount of press-ups i can achieve has gone ...
