Just dropping in

Post by lew »

Hey there fellas.

I have a spare 5 mins (well actually I cracked all my admin by 1850 so havw been dossing about waiting for the film to start, and thought id come in and let you know how im getting on.

In the latter part of week 8 now, I've got interval drill passout next monday morning and gym passout next friday I believe, we passed our C.C's inspection this tuesday gone and have our good leave pass's the blue ones :lol:.


Training. well what can I say, not allot really as im still only in the early stages, but don't for one minute think its a ragging everyday because it isn't. You have bullshit days that the training team insist dont exist but we all know they do, and you have days where you want to rap because you think you just cant do anymore bloody phiz, but you can!

Have had a few beers with ashley, he seems to be getting along fine.

One last thing really, PRMC, the phiz is nothing like training, we saw a group last week doing gym test 2 and I wished I could of been doing that because it looked piss easy, dont worry about how many pressups pull ups etc you are doing, just dig in growl and grunt in the right places (assault course) and you'll be here sooner than you know. :lol: 8)

Oh went to dutchies, was quite dissapointed really, jims diner is better and cheaper.

This is all wrong.

Double chicken burger, egg, bacon, black pudding, grated cheese and garlic mayo. Capable of defeating anything Jims can come up with.

As for me, just finished Hunters Moon, and Module 2 with that. Have to say training is going well. Our training team are sound as f@#k when they want to be, which usually results in a few laughs. I almost opted out last Monday, and the Monday before that, and the one pervious to that. Bit of a pattern there. 22 weeks to go!

As long as you almost opt out then you'll be fine.
