There's all sorts of reasons for this mate, admin problems, staff problems, or maybe too many recruits on that intake. I wouldn't worry about it.

I have no experience, but I would think that it would not happen. Probably an unwritten rule.

But that may not be case!

you may not need to be posh to get in, but i'm sure it would help. i hear that there is an awful lot of money down there at sandhurst and i did hear one romour from people in the OTC that some officers yearly mess bill's are more than their annaul salary, but that may be a load of boll@cks.

not wanting to stick my nose in, but is sandhurst really just a southerner's old boy club? not wanting to offend, but a collegue has left sandhurst to go into the corps as a marine, said that if your northern and working class it's difficult to fit in down there?

don't know if this really works or not but have watched a para training vid on youtube from the 80's and the training sgt tells the recruits to put there boots in a sink full of hot water to break them in. have no idea if this is good advice or not. would rather just walk around in them to be honest.
