As i understand it i think if you only achieve the minimums on all four tests you will not pass the PRMC i.e. if you only achieve the minimum repititions on say pressups you will need to do better on the other tests in order to pass. This is because each test amounts to a number of points (depending ...

Thanks for the correction torqueset

No probs

Another tip that i found very helpful was to do situps whilst holding a 10kg weight on my chest. At first i did this a couple of times a week and my 'standard' situps improved very quickly. It is now an integral part of my fitness routine. However i would suggest not to use any weight resistance ...

Just so you know swinging your arms forward during a sit-up isn't employing explosive power it's using the momentum of your arms to make the sit-up action easier. Doing this will definately get you pinged on POC

Wrong! Keep your finger tips on your temples but you can and must swing your elbows ...

So have you passed the POC then?

Jay,

Can you tell me what subjects were given for the essay and discussion exercises on your POC

Cheers

I've checked the search engine but can't find anything on tax.

My question is: do navy/royal marine personnel pay the same amount of tax as civilians?

My farther has tinnitus aswell and infact i know someone who takes Ginko for their memory. I did some research on the internet for any remedy to help surpress the effects of tinnitus and found that Ginko has helped in many cases.

Google tinnitus and Ginko Biloba and see what you come up with

I've just passed my interview for recruit selection, so now its time for the medical.

On the back of the brown medical questionnaire envelope it asks if i aurthorise and request a copy to be sent to my GP. If i say no will it be frowned upon resulting in them wanting to research my civillian ...

after passing the prmc, how long should i expect to wait before i get a recruit training date?

also what exactly is the PJFT and where is it held?

No offence mate but i think your contradicting yourself,

You say that you can manage 8:30 easily but die afterwards. If you die afterwards you surely shouldnt have found running an 8:30 easy! i.e. if you die afterwards you would have found the run hard.

Also, if you do find it easy then your not ...

I can do the PJFT on the treadmill in 8.30 so i'm not worried about that, just the upper body which I suck at. I'm a farking fat bastard

If your a "farking fat bastard" how do you manage 8:30 even on a treadmill?

got my POC on the 12th June, that IS the last for this years intake

I spoke to AIB and have a provisional place on the June 19th POC. They assured me that this was the last POC for this years intake.
