All issues of hiding text have now been resolved. Not as good template but will have to wait till leave so I can make it look good

There seems to be somekind of bug that doesnt show all the text on some versions of internet explorer. I'm sure the site will be sorting the bug so if you experience any problems they'll be handled shortly. Dont ask me why I'm still awake at this time :lol: . I aren't even packed properly yet :o See...

Thanks. I tend to have a good PMA. If im in pain, suffering in the cold and wet I'd rather laugh about it (obviously not on drill, can imagine the DI's face :lol:) and get on with it. I'm not gonna lie to myself and say it's gonna be easy. I know its gonna be the toughest thing I could probably ever...

Hi, Basically I'll be keeping an online diary/blog of how I'm getting on down at CTC. Updated whenever I get chance, sharing my experiences and feelings throughout training with you all. I'll try to keep most of the spoilers out as not to ruin your own training suprises :lol:. I know I'd have liked ...

Hey, So it's finally here. Raring to go. It all seems to be happening so fast. Haven't managed to get hardly anything ready. Left preparations far too late but there you go. Got the weekend to get my new life packed into a bag. I want to thank Jay for creating this site in the first place, all the m...

Hey, The fitness program in the green training booklet should be sufficient enough to build up your pullups. 3 sets of them after your run, and just do a set whenever you pass your pullup bar on a training day. I went from 3 sketchy ones to being able to knock about 10 out fresh. It's all about repe...

Hi,

I got issued my nice shiny new pair of boots last week but wearing them in, I scuffed them on a slightly upturned grate in the street.

Am I gonna get in trouble for this down at CTC and anyway to mask scuffs besides black kiwi polish?

Ash

I'm good. Still achein a lot too tho. I blame it all on purple 10!! :evil: :lol: The Corporal's can be a good laugh but slack off and p*ss about and you are going to know about it. Make sure you are always listening to detail, and never leave anything behind i.e. water bottles in gym, stuff in showe...

Passed PRMC 6th September. Just waiting till Monday morning to ring up my AFCO to get a date for foundation. Hopefully 24th October.

Ash

Congrats again mate. let us know when your foundation starts! and tell us what was the hardest part of PRMC? I think in everyones opinion, gym test 2 was by far the hardest thing. We were all pushed to new limits. It's the last chance to show what you are made of so everyone's sprinting about as fa...

Well done mate. I still can't believe how hard gym test 2 was. Been waking up double marking time since :lol: My scores were: 3 Miler - pass Bleep test - 13 53 Pressups 40 Situps (hamstring cramped up so was told to go stretch leg off) 6 Pullups Assault Course - 3:40 (was dissapointed with but was a...

Hey Skiffle,

Im 18 (19 in march) and wanting to pass PRMC late march/early april.

Cheers,
Ash

Starting the program next week as I only wrote it this morning. This week I'm just doing stuff to get back into the swing of things. I had to think long and hard about my decision to apply for the Marines but I just had a really good feeling about it. On my first proper interview, the navy guy that ...

Cosmo that's crazy. I'm 19 in march too and originally I went to college to do an advanced IT course and realised it was going nowhere. Well we discovered that my teacher must've been a tramp with how he looked and how many times he missed and was late to lessons :lol: .. How can you get somewhere i...
