I was told by my AFCO that the lecturette was on yourself, but then I recieved the confirmation of my POC date, and it said that the lecturette was on a topic of your choice - so I'm as lost as you guys

I've read a few posts on here from people who are suffering from injuries, mainly shin splints or similar, during training for PRMC/POC or joining.
