Re: Am I on the right track ?

I don't think that 3 weeks off would have had that much of an impact on your fitness. I wouldn't worry about it mate. If you're determined enough then you will do it! Get used to running at a pace for a 9 minute mile and a half, then go there and do it. I'm sure you'll be fine bud. Keep us posted on...

Re: medical discharge

Explain to all the medical personnel that you see that you do not want to leave the Navy. Start compiling information about your detached retina and find out what options are available to you (surgery etc), or if you can recover over time. You can then start to build an argument to keep you in the N...

Re: Hi from newcastle

Just run, run, run bud! You might find the targets difficult at first, but stay committed and you'll get there! If you feel hungry in between mealtimes then try drinking some water, or snacking on some fruit. Stick to white meats where you can and vegetables. Avoid anything that's greasy pastry, chi...

Re: Considering leaving Civilian Police for RAF Police

Royal Military Police are very similar to civilian police in their work. Security is handled by a Provost guard on each camp or MPGS not Royal Military Police (RMP). So in essence, your job would be very much the same, however a bit more specialised and slighly less busy, I would imagine. That is no...

Re: UKSF ADVICE/HELP!

I would just stick to the lines of fiction with it to be honest. Just find the vehicle the looks the most probable (and cool :P) and go with that one... I doubt that, considering you can't find any info on them, that anyone else will come out criticising your work as ridiculous and un-realistic, and...

Re: could this be part of SF selection?

Such a shame. This makes me think about how determined some of these guys must be, to go on and on until you literally die. It's absolutely incredible.

Hi Alistair, i've enjoyed following your application story :D Much different to when i joined in 2008!

Re: Tattoo

Personally, I would say that, that tattoo is not offensive. I think it's unlikely that your recruiter might think otherwise. Where is the tattoo? If you can't see it when you're fully clothed (long sleeves and trousers) then you should be fine. if you're still concerned about it then just speak to a...
