40 cdo was my first choice too be honest I dunno what unit i wanted to go and ended up putting 40 I was going to go FPG but change right at the last minute.
14 originals passed out out of 52 unfortunatly I wasn't an original but bonded with the lads and passed out with a good bunch of lads, and left ctc with what i wanted.

All the best for whn you go down mate I hope you do well just think only 32 weeks.
