Hello all, like to start off by saying a big WELL DONE to the guys from mfat who went down there and did the business! Gutted that i couldnt join you!

The story is, went to doc's on the monday and he said i strained two tendons and bruised a bone in the ball of my foot...nice. So had to postpone ...

Well its nearly time to face the music and earn myself some new boots! With only a long weekend to go before PRMC-3 days of digging out blind!

Just thought i'd post now (incase i don't get the chance to over the weekend) to say thanks alot to all the advice given to me via this forum and the ...

oi oi! yeah we all do, so you better watch yourself, coz we can pretty much knick anything...even the chair you're sitting in now

damn you caught on quickly...

THANK GOD! after reading everything that has been posted recently and looking through all the posts you have made its a god send to hear you are back!

GIB awesome mate, its good to know a few of us mfat lads we'll be down there, and yeah friendly competition would be welcomed, make us strive to give 100% and show them mfat lads are the biz!

Steve i think you put that in great context and really summed it for me!

'TheWedge' on your PRMC brief (if you're one of the afco's that have it) will tell you what level you need on the bleep test, they told me because of my Mechanical Comprehension score i need at least a 10 to pass...but that doesnt really matter as everyone should be training to achieve level 13...

i had anterior ompartment syndrome maybe a month or two ago and the way i corrected it was letting it heal up for a week and then buying sorbothane innersoles which stop 94% of the impact when running. also running on softer surfaces, (grass, sand etc) helps take the impact off as well, a ...

Hi all, with two weeks to go till my PRMC i've taken to running 3 miles on my local strecth of sand, does wonders! It was a PTI at my gym that suggested it and it gives you a hell of a work out.

If you can i'd suggest getting on to your local stretch of sand (if you have on) and start going for it ...

was that on a treadmill or road fro?

Awesome Jonno, that sort of dedication is what becoming a RM is all about, i got my PRMC on the 24th, am bricking it but am gonna give it me best.
