Are you saying that you cant do 1 pull up at the moment mate? Because about 3 weeks ago I was in the same position as you. Get one of those pull up bars from Argos. All I did was hang off it at first and coudnt even do one now I can do 4. I dont stick to any pull up routine, just do a couple ...

whats the aim of your weights workout? gain mass? gain strength?

Well it is to add strength also it mixes the workout up a bit rather than just doing the same things on a daily basis. The problem I have is that I may have muscle in the right places (well I hope so anyway :) ) it is just not ...

I wouldn't use that sentence in an interview.
So far you want to be an officer in the RM,Army,RAF and the TA.
You may not realise this but recruiters look at these pages and to see you bounce around like a pea on a drum is not going to endear you to any of them.
I see your doing the same over at ...

Ali,

I'm sure you will be fine, you will be amazed at how much you would have improved in the last two years. You have the benefit of knowng what to expect this time. All you will need to do is prepare correctly. Buy one of those psychometric testing for officer entry books and keep doing thing ...

Regardless of who knows them, anyone who dies who has/is served/ing should always be remembered.

God bless his soul

Nice one,

It's good to have advice of someone who is so fresh from the application process. Just got back from my second 5 miler. I knocked 2 mins off the time. I now do it in 58mins where earlier this week I managed it in an hour!!!! I know this is far away from the standard needed but I am using ...

Those extendable pull up bars you can buy in Argos for about £15 can be put in more or less any doorframe. Yes they have cups you're meant to screw in, but if you extend it slightly longer than the frame is wide, put it in at a bit of an angle then really yank down on the higher end to wedge it in ...

So now you think a degree doesnt teach you how to do your job? Hmm.

A few sessions in the class room? Its more like 60% class room and 40% in the field.

I think he's on about the fact that in the RM there is a clear purpose to the education, where, and i found this, at uni the degree is just the ...

Good stuff lad, well December aint that far away. Do you know what your gonna do in the mean time?

Best of luck for your "chat"

Doing the TA is a good thing. You will get the chance to take leadership courses and learn what qualities officers need in order to be selected. You will also be able to get advice from your NCO's and CO's (Commissioned Officers & Non Commissioned Officers), also if you impress them they will be ...

That is good advice there. I said to myself yesterday that I wanted to go for a long run (for me about 45mins) but when I was out I never looked at my watch and just visualised places I felt I could get to. I picked somewhere that had lots of hills and a varied ground to run on. There were times ...

P.S. Please use capital letters for 'I' next time, as small 'i's are one of my pet hates.

Point taken, the next time I post I will make sure that there is not a single 'i' in there :lol:

I did buy one but none of my door frames are suitable as I live in student accomodation with my missus ...

Well, I can run, do press ups and even do sit ups (not at the level yet though) but I have a problem with doing pull ups. I know thay are an important element of the PRMC as you dont pass if you can not do them.

I have given myself 6 months to get to the standard needed for the PRMC and am two ...
