Rest Easy soldier.

It is with great sadness that the Ministry of Defence must confirm that Private James Prosser from 2nd Battalion The Royal Welsh was killed in Afghanistan, on Sunday 27 September 2009. http://www.mod.uk/NR/rdonlyres/357B64C6-3C45-4486-803B-176A2E8348E9/0/PteJamesProsser.JPG Private Prosser died as a...

Welcome to the forum , can't really give you any advice though sorry. I'm sure someone could.

Ok in that case then I must be running 1.5 miles in 9 mins 20 secs not 9 mins 20 secs in 2 miles... I'm going to re-calculate the distance I'm doing & time myself with people's help more accurately. 1.5 miles in 9 mins 20 secs sounds more realistic than 2 miles looking at it now so thank you al...

thanks guys, I was pretty shocked when I got back in just over 9 mins! I know it's 1.5 miles for ADSC but around my block 5 times = 2 miles so I just do that...little extra doesn't hurt so hey! I'll keep running & aim for 8.5 mins now! 2 weeks 2 go :D Are you sure you did 2 miles in 9 minutes? ...

Yes, here's a link to the story: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/6583607.stm And you're right very few Challenger II's have been destroyed/disabled due to enemy action but this was one of them. Ah yeah it was damaged but not destroyed :), according to the MOD report on that incident th...

Yeah those guys are crazy back there on the third line!

I was thinking along the same lines as Green Boil when I spotted this topic. When the Vikings were brought into service everybody said how great they were and they proved themselves in Afghan when the Marines first deployed there, that was the reason why it was decided they were to be permanently d...

Well iv just started running and doing press ups and sit ups by my self to be honest mate but im doing best effort in 2mins and i got 42 press ups and 52 sit ups and 19.47 for a 3miler on a treadmill i am going out on a run in like 5 mins over a terrain similar to Dartmoor but it is the moor near m...

How many pressups & situps are you blasting out mate? also once every 2 weeks I throw in a 1.5 miles timed run to note improvement.

No it wont wreck the top of the door frame as in fact the top of the frame isn't really taking much of the load. Its actually working as a cantilever with the main brunt of the load being transfered to the sides of the door frame. If anything the sides of the door frame at best may suffer from slig...

The pull up bar in above link still needs permanent support. I bought one thinking that it didnt need to fix to the door frame but it comes with two 'cups' which the bar is seated into. these 'cups' are permanently fixed to the frame therefore damaging it with unsightly holes. without them the bar ...

my recruiter is a paratrooper mate so ill go with what he said. And when it comes to milling i know more than any recruiter :wink: what would you say if someone starts off milling throwing hooks trying to knock the guy out throwing straight punchs is holding back in mu opinion I'd sort the attitude...

All this fancy equipment these days lol a load of rubbish and the adverts say it all :roll:. What happened to using a normal pull up bar??? With a normal pull up bar you have to drill two supports into your door frame and it then usually gets left there permanently as its a pain the backside tighte...

Why the new OWK name change Steve? :-? Don't get bitchy Wholley! :P By the way I don't know if it is just on my computer but that Gears avatar is huge ! Nope, it wasn't your computer ... it was a huge avatar. I've fixed it now ... but it's so small :( You can have a 80x80 avatar :) yours is to smal...
