Hi all. Sorry to open another old post. I've got my oath on the 4th of January. I'm aware it only takes 5 minutes, in and out kinda thing (that's what she said) but my Dad is asking if he can come along. He's ex Army and he's taking a real interest in my joining up, which is a good thing. I'm not su...

His room was trashed on several occasions and at the worst point someone tried to strangle him in his room. I think its disgusting that people are so small minded to think that being gay is...

You should'nt worry too much about your first run time. Mine was piss poor when I first started running and I was running nearly every day and doing a best effort 1.5 once a week. I then got some advice to just do best effort 1.5 every other day and rest inbetween. First timed run after this was ove...

To be fair I thought that before I went but take my word for it. The only time over the weekend when we had to do any pushups was after the 2.4km run and that was only as a punishment for people talking. That was a s a whole group though, not individual.

Just don't worry about it. By the time you do it you will have had plenty of time to get chatting with other lads so it won't feel like you're talking to complete strangers.
