gunner75 is right supreme fitness needed!! Ive just come back from weekend 2 with 4 Para and it was tough. Only problem i have now is my boss at work he says he's unable to let me have more weekends off so im stuck!!

Hello,

I went uo to york in mid april with 4 Para for selection i passed and was sworn in and got the certificate. Does anyone know when i will start training? I heard the next recruit cadre intake is in september?

Cheers all

Try the outdoor running more mate, road, hill (Sand if your near a beach!!!)

hi mate,

I did my PRMC at Lympstone in 2005 and it was the hardest thing ive done. The 3 miler has to be done in 22 mins. My advice would be to be able to swim competently before you go as they give you a swimming assesment at lympstone on your PRMC.

I go running around roads but i try running on grass aswell, softer ground and its abit more difficult (not alot tho) good luck mate

hi mate

Selection was ok. It waasnt just the paras up there it was all other battalions. We had to do everything to a higher standard though. All you have to do is perform to your best ability and show them that you are determined to suceed. Its tough but if you want it, you'll get it!

hi mate

if i was you i woudnt run with weight. Ive just come back from para selection and they said to us dont start running with weight. Its how shin splints start. It might be worth going for walks in boots to harden your feet up if you arent use to wereing boots.
