My sister worked around oz said it was the best thing she has ever done, didnt want to come back! I plan on going there for two months next year, not for work though as I dont have the time. But there are certain things you need to see such as the great barrier reef, Sydney harbour (@new year) and t...

I think a double first from Oxford University would hold you in better sted than a degree in surf bored design from Thames valley Uni.

I did my CBT about 2 months ago and looking to take my bike test next month. CBT is a pretty chilled out affair which goes something like: meet instructor safety talk parts of the machine ride machine in a straight line ride with turns figure of 8 around cones (pretty hard!) then some theory test st...

Gash, never mind- cheers anyway

I'm going to be a trainee site manager and quantity surveyor working 40 hour weeks + most weekends to, just tell your employer the dates you wont be able to work (ie the weekends because of the RMR) and I'm sure if he's a nice guy he may shuffle around the shift pattern to accomodate. Skiffle did a ...

I'd say those fitness scores are fine, a lot better than mine and I'm also going for selection again in September.

I'd mix it up if I were you, do some sprint lengths as well. You won't have to do butterfly in the RMR, you just have to do 4 lengths breaststroke without touching the floor or sides then tread water for 4 minutes, then hand out kit out to someone on the side whilst not touching the deep end. Try tr...

Just got the new ipod nano for my birthday, before that I was using a very old school mini disk player. Anyhow my question is about syncing... I was at home and put a load of songs on my ipod, then came back to uni and had more songs to put on from my laptop using a different itunes. So went to sync...

How did it go? How many turned up and what was the pass rate like?

Hi just wondering if anyone knows which gym the AFCO in Oxford uses for their PJFA?

As I understand it only certain gyms can do it for some reason (anyone know why?).

Anyway I've done it twice before in Reading and Bristol but lost paper work and out of date info means I have to do it again!

If it doesnt say anything about a swim test I guess you dont take it! If you live in Wales I presume you are part of RMR Bristol, and they dont have a pool at the unit so I doubt you would do one, if in doubt phone the unit though. I was meant to be on this weekend, but low and behold I dislocated m...

You are correct in what you have just said I'm not asking about that, I'm just saying the link you provided has no personal account of the weekends and courses. Do you realise there is no personal account in that diary? Don't think he passed the selection weekend!

MrC, that RMR account at the top of one of your posts, where did you find the info about the weekends and the two week course at Lympstone? Because it's not on the link that you provided.

You said that your in the RMR on all of them, but then you say your psychometric test is on 5/2/08?

How's training going?

I know an officer in this unit, was talking to him last night about joining. If u want any information regarding joining as an officer I may be able to lend a hand.
