It is with some trepidation that I write this post, having not been on the forum for some time. I used the forum a lot gearing up for recruit training back in 2004/2005 before I suffered injury and subsequently discharge after a getting a very short way into training. It took 18 months to get myself...

Knee injury - told it wasn't good. Turns out there is nothing actually all wrong with my knee and the pain is linked to bad posture and resulting muscle shape. Ive been in physio for 3 weeks and the difference is amazing. It'll be a little while before I'm running again but they think I will make a ...

It does get easier mate but do yourself a favour and see the best physio your money can stretch to. Keep focused but keep your head out the clouds. Be pragmatic about it all, you may or may not go back in but by keeping the desire you have a fighting chance. Explore all your options. I was advised t...

Thanks guys Harry - I'm sure you're right and that I'd be taking a massive risk on my future, so I'm having 6 months cooling off and at the end of that I'll decide. Too soon now. Sneaky - PM sent Ruggee - Ian mate I'm good, tree surgery all you were hoping for? Still waiting on my invite across!!!! ...

Does it come with endless investigations involving trips to go-go bars? chuck in a pack of donuts and I'm on my way!!!

Hello chaps I haven't looked on the forum for a while and I'm afraid to say it's true - NFA Med. I have to admit I'm a proud man and it's been hard to take, I am feeling ashamed and I know perhaps i shouldn't. Part of it is that I never really had a fair crack at the whip so I don't know whether I'd...

try and find some parrallel bars as you can't beat those style dips. they work your shoulders and and chest too. I used to take a mate training with me but he objected to the "relief" system as I was just pulling me kecks down. Maybe it wasn't the type of team he likes to build . . . . . ....

don't tell me, with LEFT and RIGHT being the inscriptions??

not in hunter . . . . . . . .

Good idea that, besides Hunter is already crammed with MF users and to be honset we don't need anymore!!!!

Preparation is the key. In training (well hunter) and I have a partner and bills. Not least the new car we bought last week. I have uni debts, rent, ccs, council tax - you name it i'm paying for it. It's possible but you need to be open and frank about it with your partner otherwise as with most mat...

Well I have been in hunter myself for nearly as long as I was in training!!! :o Sprained my ankle on families day in the gym and can't help feeling like a proper knobber . . . . . :oops: Still, these things are sent to test us. Not as threaders as the boys in doing hard time but in all will be about...

Thank you for all your help Sneaky and you lads for your encouragement. Jeb, Beardo and Lew - shout me when you're down and we'll go for a beer.

I'll keep you all informed.

Many thanks

p.s. did you say you DO get breakfast in bed for the first few days?

RM, can you go into a little more detail. I start on 18th April

I think that you should at least give it your best shot because life is too short for regrets. Collage is never a bad option and so getting yourself some qualifications puts you in a position to choose what you want to do. The difference here is that you will push harder for something you really wan...
