You should be looking at round about 70 for each. But at ADSC, you won't as such be assessed on how many press ups and sit ups you can do, because there are strength tests that you now have to complete. But ideally mate, you need to have that strength anyway; and just show abit of grit and determina...

Good luck at ADSC mate.
You'll do fine! Just give it some passion.

Yeah Im awaiting to go to ADSC Pirbright - passed my interview last week, not unless your already booked on one now Mark?

Have you done your application at Canterbury?

Sgt Izzard has been dealing with my application.

Woody.

I know there is a intake coming up soon on June 29th; but when is the next one after that, and how frequent are they?

Woody.

Cheers for the correction, but I was told last week my my recruiting sgt that it was 70; but like you said, it's best to aim higher.

Everyone has their weaknesses Callum. And as you've pointed out, press-ups are your weakness. The best thing to do is have a structured training programme that will help you progress. At ADSC you will need to complete basic tests to pass, and a minimum of 70 press ups are required, along with achiev...

The question is pretty self explanitory; I was just wondering because I've heard from a few sources that you have two interviews before ADSC, and I didn't understand why.

Anyone care to explain?

Cheers, Woody.

Personally, if I had to choose I would go for the Royal Engineers mate.
The combat engineering aspect is pretty interesting

How many interviews did you have sterion66?
And are you going for the Paras too?

Currently doing this programme at the moment.
Its beautiful.

Yeah he was L/Sgt at the time; just wondering if you could tell me anything that your remember about his personality or anything or silly things he used to do?

He passed away in 2002, so I'm just trying to build up pictures in my head of what he was like away from the family. =]

Cheers for that markjb45.

So what stage are you at now, when is your intake date for depot?

I don't have any advice; but when you served, did you know David Barlow Wood? He was in the Grenadier Guards too.

When you lived in Germany, was you based in Munster - Oxford Barracks?

Reason I ask this is because he's my dad.

Like the title says, I'm looking for a training partner in Folkestone or surrounding areas!

Alright mate!
Good to see your going for the Royal Marines fella, I was training with my mate last summer getting his fitness up for his PRMC, he's now in his final 6 weeks at the CTC. Whats your fitness like at the moment?

Im going for the Paras.

I'll train with you mate, if you want.
