Good afternoon. I'm in need of some training advice.
I train everyday (mainly weights but some running & cycling) so I'm not over weight, infact I've got an athletic/muscular physique but I can't seem to lose the flab off my glutimus maximus. I can even shake my booty like one of those strippers ...

So are you having them removed before training???

I believe it's a young woman called Kelly who has the massive bazookas.

You're losing your marbles already! Bless ya. You'll be moochin down to the post office in your armour plated, camoflauge painted mobility scooter to pick up your pension in ...

Correct me if I'm wrong ladies but isn't there something you can take i.e the pill, injection, that actully stops you having a priod? In that case there would be no drama! :roll:

He is a Para PTI mate...... enough said! :D

The pill doesn't stop a period. But the injection usually stops women ...

Having been in a fair old time I think I can safely say I know what Im talking about, However as I know of Sandy and where he works, On the subject of PARA training issues (these include Milling and controlled aggression) I would Bow to his higher knowledge.

After seeing the perceived ideas of ...

Maybe they should only let really ugly women in the infantry, eh? That way, men wont get distracted. Plus, ugly women would prbably be butch and be just as tough. I could be one of the selection officers :)

"No you can't join the infantry miss, you've not got hairy shoulders"
"You've got a clitt ...

Because that scenario is really going to happen, about as likely as a guy being caught out having a Shit when Terry opens fire???

Pregnancy is not a ban from the Army????

Quick question Confused have you been on an Op tour yet??? your ideas seem so off the mark its unreal (Not an insult just a ...

Simple really and I know it was said ages ago. If a woman can complete the test, make the grade and do the job then she should be allowed to serve in that job. the only problem we have is to prove the thoery we would have to field test it and we are not prepared if it doesnt quite meet the mark ...

Utter non realistic rubbish!!!

Personal hygiene in the field is exactly that, PERSONAL the individual can function any where aslong as they apply themselves

Women not as strong as guys???? again this must depend on the women?
(Had a female recruit who was a female bodybuilder)

Not all women are ...

Yeah, women are allowed to join the SAS but I don't think any have completed training. It's weird that they can join SAS and not regular infantry. Maybe it's because SAS do more specialized missions? Like sabotage, hostage rescue, kidnap ect. :-? But even so, the SAS still require very high physical ...

I completely agree with everything HRH just said.

Has anyone ever thought that maybe most women simply don't want to be in a dangerous battle situation? I know of many women that wouldn't want to.

Also, mens brains are a bit different to womens. When the sh*t hits the fan, a primevil instinct ...

I like many old and bold on here used to run the 1.5 miles in boots and combats rather than trainers? try it some time

I know this is about females joining but I noticed you said this.

Does it actually make a difference if you run in boots rather than trainers? Does it help? And when you go to ...

Well for a start you'll probably go to Afghanistan, not Iraq. And I'm not too sure about being a medic, I think you might need to go to college and university so that would obviously take longer. The infantry would be a quicker way to get in but because there's so many applicants it would still ...

Yeah, my slightly lazy right eye isn't that bad. You can't even notice it. And I was prescribed glasses for it when I was about 7 but refused to wear them, which I'm starting to regret lol. The small skin problem I've got on my legs is practically non existant as I've had it for about 13 years now ...

Fair enough. Just wanted to ask people that actually know what they're talking about. I'm just a wee bit confused about it, that's all. Some posts on this site suggest that a slightly lazy eye may stop you from joining the army. But I'm sure it said on a form I had that I should bring the glasses ...
