I'm not in the forces but I'll say this. Death happens people die everyday over here through all sorts of things. You can be walking along and get ran over or can be killed in a car crash, everything in life is a risk but it's a risk you have to take otherwise life wouldn't be worth living. Same goe...

Any courses in Manchester?

Either infantry mortars or RMP.

I visited the infantry it looked top but I can't make an accurate decision without visiting the local RMP centre problem is the number isn't recognised so I'll have to trek down to Bell Vue.

Mate don't worry about the gym I was a bit anxious you'll find most people will be supportive as we're all trying to improve out fitnesses, give it a month or so and you'll be amazed at the difference.

I don't quite know what to say to this sorry wholley

Cheers for the welcome guys. I don't know which board to put this query on so I thought I'd just add it here. I was thinking of trying to join one of the reserve forces while I finish my degree to get a bit of experience in the military before I (hopefully!) start training. Only problem is there is...

What level of fitness did you need to be upon embarking on the course?

I'm currently arranging visits to my local units.
