Documentary will be about 923 Troop training from start to finish. I know one of the Section CPLs.

should be a good watch! cant wait!

dave

Im not going to tell you what CTC is like. Thats a thing every man should find out for himself. Its not a nice place, but its bareable. Like a prison really.

Dave

PWRR is my local regiment.

What is the regiment like? Professional? Respected?

thanks dave

ok I joined the Royal Marines in 2005 and left at the end of phase one training.

I am looking at joining the Army and I'm interested in Infantry.

I was at CTC for quite a while but I have no idea about the army regiments? what or who to join if i want to be an infantryman?

Thanks in advance

dave

well.. If you talk to anyone down at CTC now between 909-916 troop they will all 'know' 912 troop. 912 has an OLD SCHOOL troop sargeant who is a legend at CTC. 912s PTI had to tell the Sgt to stop thrashing us because we couldnt perform in the PT sessions, especialy after exercise.

my troop 912 started with 62...

WEEK 26 (now) there are 13 originals left.

dave

good luck mate. Any one seen those gucci tracksuits you get in foundation now! saw some recruits wearing them the other week!

dave

and I doubt that story is true, but dont under-estimate royal.... My section CPL made our section fight for his survival tin once..

This reminds me of when I was at CTC and there was the classic Phone Video going round of a recruit getting down and dirty in his grot with the 2 UPO Wrens! The wrens were soon replaced! And when we got 'spoken to' by the company commander telling us he expects us to know better and doesnt expect us...

Seems like a subject that is not touched upon to me!

BUMP

If you want to be a solider, like have the burning desire to join Her Majesty's Forces then you wont give a shit where you live and what you do and why. If your another one of those..
