I've been off the forum for a while because my workplace temporarily blocked internet access. As I don't have the net at home, I was f***ed for a while. When I come back, all has changed... Anyway, to anyone who I've been talking to, I passed selection on 14/09, with 1.5 mile run in 9 mins (my best ...

You can buy it in gel form as well, there was a picture on the link you provided. Maybe that would make you more popular at home?

Great, I just sent mine off two weeks ago and i might have to look forward to beuracratic messes. Some people get through the system quicker than others, it seems. I would have got through it much quicker had my doctors not fannied about for weeks with my medical records. My AFCO have been good. As...

Last time I got into this debate was with dootybooty on another thread. He said something like, I might change my mind when I've served for a few years and I see what an influence they are on our forces. And my views might change one day, I try to keep an open mind. But I don't want to explain my re...

Cheers, Lance. I might have to give it a go.

Does deep freeze have the same effects as adding ice to the injury? I've never tried the stuff.

I personally will be honored just to be let in The Queens Forces. I also, will personally swear to the crown and God. Im a strong believer in both the Crown and God. Bigbart, My Great Grandfather himself became a socialist for a slight time after serving 2 FULL years on the front lines of WWI and e...

Sorry, I'm going off-thread here, but how do we know the skeleton on it's knees isn't female?

Deep heat works bloody miracles. And I use ibuprofen as well.

Tab, when I said "you left me to do it for you" I was referring to when he said he didn't want to get into a political debate. He had earlier said something about the monarchy and someone had a go at him. So I argued his point a bit. Read the earlier posts and you'll see what I mean. No I'...

The army don't do 8 weeks then get full pay. Phase 1 is 12 weeks, followed by trade training, which is usually another 12 weeks. So in total it's around 24 weeks. And once RM's finish training, as Sticky said, get paid more than a regular Army Infantryman anyway. It's not that bad a deal, really.

Bloody hell this thread is getting depressing. I'm 24 this november and Hopefully I will be in phase 1 training by this time.
