Well done fella, bet you're over the moon. And with good reason!

What was the piss-up like after your passing out parade?

And you are doing a good job - cheers for the information thus far RM Recruiting Officer.

Please stick around

Hi Chemist, good points there.... I have had shin splints a couple of years ago when my mileage was rediculous, but these havn't caused me problems for a year or two. Do you think it is worth seeing a podiatrist and getting an analyses done anyway, along the lines of "prevention is better than ...

alright mate, unlucky to hear about that, its frustrating i know. I have a similar thing called Tendosinovitus (sp?) at the moment - came out of the blue, my ankle became swollen and painful for no obvious reason during a couple of months when i was doing nothing particularly active. Had surgery a c...

Hello mate, Sorry to hear about this. Gutting i know to find out you have any medical condition which might jepadise your application, especially when you appear to be perfectly healthy etc... I got rejected from some OTC selection a few years back because on the medical inspection the quack found a...

Fair play on the training mate, that looks like a lot - I am just starting at the bottom again so need to work up to that... Are you having much success with the 100 Pushups training program? Ive got a leg in a cast on the moment, so using the time to work on upper body strength. Might give this a t...

Thanks for taking the time and effort to put the video onto the internet.

Cheers again

I swear i have been lurking and reading Digitalfreefalls posts for ages, so its good he's finally got a crack at it. ...

One i have been doing for the last few weeks is 150 Marine style pressups in as few sets as possible, for time. Today was my 13th attempt. I do 2 days "on," 1 day rest taking particular interest in the number i can bang out in the first set. Every day is a new personal best! Today i manage...

oh, excellent news that John is recovering.
Good luck to him for the future.

Andrew

Unlucky bro, Sounds like you are taking it in your stride anyway, and are not too hung-up over it. From what i have read, your fitness was very good. I hope you still have a good christmas and that the next 4 years are ok for you. Live a little. I have 4 years to go before i can apply, and its hard ...

PM sent Steve,

Anyone else up for this. RC951, i notice your in the midlands too. Where abouts.

This thread could be benneficial to quite a few of us, provided we are sensible and safe with any walks we decide to do.

hi, i was also thinking about a weekend in Brecon doing some hiking. It was quite windy this weekend on some of the peaks in North Wales, so we may have to chill out with the height etc. No snow as yet however. I never realized how unforgiving these high hills/mountains are. I was thinking of going ...
