Cheers E5, and to be honest michealshane - I'm gonna re attempt the para run time, so if I have to re-do my ADSC, I will I want Para though.

Best of luck though.

Tues 6th, 3 days now!!!

Best of luck to the pair of ya's.
Yea, Guards is my second option but I will defer and re-try FOR PARAS if i fail first time. :oops:
Gravityguy - I just hope i have a huge stock of adrenaline for the day. Im resting up for 3 days beforehand and I'm gonna stock up on complex carbs and sleep. I feel ...

Paras hopefully, but im stressing big style about my run time, cant seem to shave it down from 9.30secs.
What about you? Good luck btw.

Cheers Rich, I can't help but be overly-defensive onthese forums.

Best of luck with your selection process too.

I hold both the maroon machine and the corps in high esteem. I tried for the marines, failed PRMC and always knew I would also try for the paras. The way I see it both units have different specialisations but rank along side each other in terms of soldiering skills.
Nothing wrong with healthy ...

Thanks for the replies.
Thanks for the confirmation Sandy.

Just to note, It would be a very f**ked up policy to cut out para training for recruits and i would imagine the implications will be far greater than just broken hearts within the regiment and lower recruiting figures.

BUT

I'm not aiming ...

Thats it basically, a query I have!

Now go and celebrate you deserve it!!!!

PRMC - MARCH 07

Fro83. I know EXACTLY how you feel as i F**ked my 3 miler also last month. Exactly the same situation as you. I also have to wait 6 months. Im devestated. But after a week or so the initial shock of the failure fades and I wish you th every best of luck getting back on training mode if this is the ...

WOAH doesn't time fly when you've actually got a date to start RT! :D
You lads have both done splendidly to achieve what you have, I wish you both the very very best down at CTC. Take it a day at a time. And keep smiling no matter how cold and tired you are :)

Safe journey down there, give it ...

Welcome Andy,
I'm christian. I drink, it's just a lifestyle choice. I dont see any reason why you will find it difficult in training or a unit as a non-drinker. If your soldiering skills and general proffessionalism are s*^t hot, then I'd imagine that's what the onus is placed on. Not your capacity ...

haha great ad, I did the tunnel on POC, wasn't half as terrifying as the prospect of the rest of the endurance course.
I failed the run but not the tunnel.

Good to see posts like this.
