I hope not! This site has helped a countless amount of people pass out of training etc... It has been awful quiet as of late though, Not sure what can be done though. I am more than willing to donate more money to help the cause. I cant seem to find the mfat forums donation page anymore, if anyone w...

Great Training advice tips shared ,..useful tips to get training easily,...keep posting such a nice advises,..

If you use the search you'll find plenty older but just as good, if not better tips

Its got a lot better now, I had to go to the gym and do leg strengthing exercises (leg extensions, squats etc).. I still feel a slight pain sometimes when playing football etc but its almost back to normal.. took a lot longer than what I thought it would though! I'v lost A LOT of cv fitness. Just ha...

Sounds great, I'v had experience in the field in basic in the army (I left).. So I know the hassle of the plastic bags especially at night! Yeah at the early stages I’ll just use the plastic bags but I'll build up a collection of they canoe sacks over the weeks.. They look perfect for the job, shoul...

Ofens they bags you posted above look great.. Do you use them yourself? How much and what size would a recruit need for basic training? And will a recruit be allowed t use them? I cant see there being a problem as long as yor kits waterproofed surely? I used to hate using the old zip plastic bags! w...

Just a quick update.. My knees a lot better, finished with the physio but I still have fluid in there! So its a little swollen still. I’m also struggling to straighten my leg but its easing of a little every day. Anyone else experienced this? When I try to straighten the leg it feels like something’...

Cool good luck with the rehab. Make sure you do the exercises your physio gives you, no matter how silly they look! I've had to do all sorts of weird and "ministry of funny walks" type things over the years. Important though, they make a difference. Re: Cross trainer - at the risk of star...

Hi mate, Iv already seen the physio he said I was to rest it for a week (no sport).. So it will be a week tomorrow, I’m going back on Friday to see him again as well. I was going to go for a sauna and swim tonight, not so much swimming more like floating! Its been hard sitting about the house all we...

Thanks mate, I’ve tried a few exercises on that sight they seem pretty good. The swellings went down quite a bit now but its still sore when I bend it. I've started doing some weights to keep up some form of training

Okay so training was going great, I was running further and faster than ever, playing football a lot, going to boxing and doing some great bodyweight circuits.. All this with perfectly placed rest days my body was feeling in great shape but.. 1 game of five a side and I've picked up a grade 1 ligame...

Done a few things for H4H before aswell, I think this may be a good charity because it helps everyone in the forces? But obvisouly any will be good think this is a great idea!

Since this is in the rm forum Im guessing its a medical for the marines?.. Good news then. You wont get a blood test until you start training, they will however squeaze your balls and ask you to cough! Whats worse? :lol: Lol I was exactly the same as you mate, I used to hate needles! But after getti...

When I was in training we didn’t do guard duty, but we did get work parades or staff parades if we done something wrong. Staff parades were an inspection at the drill shed am 21:00 if I mind right, you had to be immaculate. Work parades are pretty self explanatory. Sportbilly we did still have 'swea...

I left when I was in training mate, Im planning on joining up again sometime this year. Lack of sleep isnt really a problem, remember its only that bad for the first 5 weeks, after that you get a little more freedom so I wouldnt worry about it. You'll be kept busy with other things so you wont notic...

Are you talking about basic training? When I was in you were lucky to get 5-6 hours sleep for the first 5 weeks. After 5 weeks you pass of the square and are able to go to breakfast etc by yourself instead of as a platoon. We used to get food from the shop the night before and skip scoff, that way w...
