Is it better to do the 32 weeks training during the summer or winter?

Does the winter cold weather affect your perfomance more than the hot sun in the summer?

How long is it normallydo you start your 32 weeks training after your PRMC?

It's going to be shitty and uncomfortable regardless of the weather, don't you think?

A PRMC pass is valid for 1 year.

The time of the year don't make much of a difference. Doing the 30 miler in the middle of a heat wave or the middle of winter.

Both have there own problems. Heat exhaustion or Hypothermia. Either way it's going to be a pain. So just enjoy! :D

When the 32 weeks starts is that counted as the joined date or is that after training?

Your date of service starts from the beginning of the 32 weeks training.

Well this summers predicted heatwave will be so bad that the goverment recommends this for the normal person 4 cool baths a day all windows open but curtains closed and minimal excercise if possible and only venture outside if you need to, so winter sounds like a walk in the park mate you can protect yourselfs from winter using thermals and dont forget one time or another youll be doing arctic training and jumping in arctic cold water and youll have minutes between you and hyperthermia so winter seems the more rational option for the marine. But judging by all the activity in the oil bearing nations (middle east) it might be good training :lol:

Sorry for spelling mistakes and confusion on whether this a truckers forum or a marines forum
