3 Chance Policy

[Guevara]

Hey, im quite new here and am considering a military career.

However i have researched the RM and RMR and have been told by others that if you fail selections 3 times you cannot try again.

Is this true, and could you please tell me what a 'pongo' is.

[El Prez]

Percy Pongo aka pongoloid man aka Any member of the British Army.
Characteristics include; an illogical and irrational aversion to soap and water, wearing full combats/cam cream and smoking in the Galley, referring to his personal weapon as 'me gat'.
Your training team will expend great effort to prevent you adopting any of the above.

Welcome. Copied from Steve Holden's reply to Ro55 aka Ross.

old rhyme, 'where the army goes the pong goes'.

Rob is right, i've just finished week 11, the training team will try their hardest , give you extra remedial tuition etc, if you're finding something hard. There's no point even worrying about it. All you have to do is take on what they say.
