......and of course, bullshit baffles brains! Beat em at their own game. 8)

Another San Carlos resident here. Yep, it may be luxury five star accommodation, but this just means we have to keep the place in tip- top condition at all times as its brand spanking new, 'and that's the way its gonna ...

Had a nice dip in Peter's Pool the previous evening and the rust obviously developed overnight- my corporal aknowledged it was only surface rust and therefore was gonna let me off with just a flanking, ie a 100m leopard crawl through waiste high gorse and then some. :D

However, this merciful ...

is it true merchant in your troop had an ND on automatic during baptist run?

Tom

A lad in my troop, who goes by a similar name, had an ND on 'quick cover', a most enjoyable exercise i might add- NOT. He got off pretty lightly really- fined a day's pay. Not bad when you consider if they really ...

People are getting warnings left right and centre in my troop, official warnings at that. They get issued for most minor of offences- i got issued section commander's warning for for forgetting to take trainers into the field and having a speck of rust on the trigger of my weapon. :-? Troop ...

Its a bag of b*llox and what you'll spend the vast majority of time doing in the early stages of training (and thereafter). That said, it is very much a necessary evil however tedious it amy seem at first.
It is imperitive you can maintain your kit (and yourself)and keep it in good working order so ...

There are at least 2 guys in my troop with degrees so you may not be alone. The quals wont count for anything though so you may feel you've wasted your time. Certainly wont hinder your chances.
Good luck with your attempt at becoming an ossifer, do you you know the success rate?! :roll: It also ...

Whilst on the subject of mobile phones (if anyone's still listening), i'm off to CTC soon and want to get a new contract so i can stay in touch with the outside world (assuming this is allowed).

Can anyone who's there at the moment tell me which networks receive signal at Lymspstone. I dont want ...

Enjoy your freedom while it lasts We aint gonna have a spare moment once we arrive!

Dont know about this troop number malarcky, none of the powers that be have mentioned it to me. I guess it's a surprise.

Brennan, I'll see you down there mate

I commence training NOV 1st also

Do you know our troop number? I assume we're in the same one. And what are these 'sorbothane' insoles?- i've been hearing great things about them.

A lad on my PRMC had done the prep course and breezed through it (if that possible). He got level 13 on the bleep test, won the 3-miler by a distance and i think maxed out on the gym tests. :) He was quite the athlete. What i'm saying is i think they prepare you pretty well, certainly on the PT side ...

Weights aren't required so i stopped training for about a month prior to PRMC, having been 'working out' for a number of years. Just focussed on press-ups, pull-ups etc for upper body strength. It worked- i passed. :)

Started weight training again after PRMC and felt like a weakling :( and ached ...

You got a long way to come Adam. It'll be well worth it i'm sure. See you at Lympstone mate.

Ditch her mate. I'm having the same problem as we speak and its piecing me off. Getting constant grief like - 'if you really loved me you wouldn't wouldn't leave me' and other similar garbage to which i retort - 'if you really loved me, you wouldn't stand in the way of what i want.'

Don't want to ...

I thought those tee-shirts were one size fits all (or no one)- very fetching. They didn't seem to have a 'right way round' either, or an 'inside out' for that matter. :o There was a guy in our room who quit after the assault course on day 1, left CTCRM having stuffed his sweat soaked tee shirt in ...

I see. That makes it a bit clearer.

I didn't think they'd think they sell us short
