The PTI (club swinger) will get you all to warm up running round the hall and loads of wee excercies to get you switched on then you'll do circuits stuff like 30 secs of push ups 30 secs of situps 30 secs of burpees 
stuff like that but you'll get loads of other little things though I wasn't that fit and i enjoyed it. so if you are in half decent shape you'll piss it mate if not work a bit now and it'll pay off later trust me!!

alright chief!,
no I don't have messenger but I'll blether away on this so 1) tiffs do do
more than normal ratings but not to sure what it entails 2) the spar is alrite but expensive! 3) KIT!! you get all kinds of kit boots shirts trousers shorts t-shirts div tops div bags and of course your no1's etc but that comes later on and 4) don't bother read up if you want to but you get an NGT book on entry that tells you all you need to know so don't worry bout it. Hope these are useful chief. when do you go down the road again? and what are you goin in as?

I'm from Dundee and I went to that fcuking celtic game last week was not a happy puppy but the pub helped! first off that is the same date I leave for Raleigh I might meet you on the train! no 1)yeah tiffs don't generally get on with other ratings cos they think there a cut above but a few I've met have been sound the tests I went through were in week 3 first NGT test week 5 second NGT and week 8 final NGT fail this and you get back classed or a training extension it is called now cos someone took it the wrong way when he was told he was getting back classed (puff) you have various PT tests but they vary when you get them also if you fail you're WHT weapons handling test you get back classed. you're first week is shit it doesn't prepare you for your divisional training at all it's just getting used to your kit your mates and the basics of drill and sstuff you also get your first mile and a half run it's a bas*ard honestly! my best time before i went down to raleigh was 11 mins on the nose but my best time now is ten mins on the nose! so they do put you through your paces. your tests will probably vary from mine cos your a tiff and you'll get a lot more classroom work than I did but I can't see it being to different. I don't think your questions are answered in order but its the best i can do hope it helps chief. all the best and I'll maybe see ya on the train. look for a wee stumpy guy we a scotland top on and chances are it'll be me. laterz. andy
p.s have fun on your night out (get rat arsed cos it's the last chance you'll have to drink until at least week 5. have fun
)
