because big cheese i know the Regt is not a walk in the park but i know that it is physically easier than the marines and at my age i dont want to put myself in the situation of the commado tests and RM training untill i am fully grown and can put all my energy into fitness. that will be about 3-4 years. In the mean time though i do want to push myself and enjoy the benefits of military life and with having most of my family serve in the army i thaught i would give the RAF Regt ago as i have attended the ATC for many years and feel i have a chance within the regiment.
You have to ask yourself is the regiment what you really want or are you just going there because PRMC was too hard? If its the second i think that attitude aint to good because really determination is the key. If you prepped yourself more for the commando tests you might pass second go.
Thats the thing even if i did pass PRMC and got into training i dont want to do that sort of stuff yet, when i say my attitude stinks i didnt mean im a complete knobber i just mean that i havent got the i can, i want, I WILL attitude to get through CTC yet, as getting a maroon or green berret is a definate goal for me and i am one hell of a stubburn bastard i just feel the regiment can sort my fitness and attitude (boost confidence) out. The reason i picked the regiment for is because the marines is a new thing to me, iv always wanted to join the regiment untill i got some info on the marines and thaught yeah i'll give that ago, so i did and realised its not for me yet so back to the regiment. Another good thing is that because marines are "elite" anyone from any regiment can hand in his papers and say he wants to be a marine and they cant stop them so when i feel i have the right attitude that is what i will do.
klinkklank i found out i passed when we all went into a lecture room for the pay lecture then at the end they just read out the names on the certififcates he had with him
Well yea i guess that is ok i mean i guess some people are born with the i WILL attitude. I wasnt and im not sure i have it now but im very determined to pass the prmc when the oppurtunity comes around.
Jay999, i was really determined to pass PRMC, i was doing well and bottom field is where the time wasters usually wrap, i think i would have done it if i didnt have a swollen and bloody knee, 2 miles into the 3 miler i could barely walk as i took all the pain whilst running half way i couldnt take it anymore, but even if i had passed i would have stood at the train station and thaught im not coming back here for a while so i dont see the point of going back for another PRMC just yet.
GUNN ok i se your point i think i would probably give in if the pain was that bad. I guess it was just down to your luck on the day then mate. Well good luck with the regiment though.
