I am still waiting for a completion date on the sale of my house in order to get an official start date and the last possible date will be the same as yours. However I have requested the 19th May.

Ooh, close. I'm really up for it now but i'm also really nervous. Those blinding phys sessions we did are 'easy' versions of our daily phys at CTC :o

I was wandering what the PE would be like when actually at CTC compared to the PRMC.

Cronkilla, read about Gym 2 in Gipper's diary and you'll get a fairly good idea of a 'typical' phys session. Loads of games working you hard, lots of sprinting...once you've done Gym test 2 you'll understand why it would be nerve racking to face that day in, day out! :o :o :D

Do you get a Lie in on Sundays? If so for how long?

What about Breakfast in Bed? Early morning TV? Maybe some Bucks Fizz as an early morning pick me up?

I believe you get most Sundays off for whatever you choose to do. A few Sundays are spent on exercise, one or two at the church and the rest in bed!

Nice, they aren't totally horrible then :angel:

Did you get shown around the facilities when you were there? I heard the Gym is stupendously huge and well kitted out.

What about the Rec' rooms? Much going on in the way of films, games etc?
Any consoles, computers?

Just Curious ya know.

Welcome to pain city :o Dan as one of our training team said as we embarked on bottom field training. I'd like to say that it's fun....but its not and that the time will fly....but it won't - you will get used to it though. Its understandable to be apprehensive mate I felt like a startled rabbit staring into the headlights as my joining day approached but soon enough you might end up like me, a sad old fart sat at his computer wishing he could do it all again :cry:
