Wouldn't worry mate, when I did PGAC first time around the Cpl in charge was only about 5'5" max. Do well in the assessments and they'll pass you.

Good luck finding someone your own size to do the fireman's lift and man drag with though!

Forgot to say, welcome aboard mate and good luck with your ASTs, don't sweat over it bud as they're not all that difficult and the regiment doesn't require a high score to pass. Even if you don't get the score you need, they'll let you take it again fairly soon after so it's all good! Keep us up to ...

Why be a Raf Gunner join Paras,RM or line infantry and do real soldiering instead or guarding air fields plus being looked down upon by the rest of the service.

Hopeful news for all our budding McNabs on this forum, their odds are already better. lol.

The sexual preferences of the airborne crowd has had wide coverage in the press, if they're not getting sex changes they're busy playing with each other :lol: Try the Bootneck section :wink: He's right, Marines mostly prefer to just dress up and play with each other, than go for the full costly ope...

Maybe you're doing it twice
