Dont worry about pressups and situps when you first get to depot. You only do the 1.5 mile run in screening week, not the pushups and sits. Look forward to pressups in the corridor though...Athens is going to be tough.

Standby!

Actually, I did pretty shit at RSC, I ran the 1.5 mile in 9.40ish, 6 heaves, lifted 55k easy, finished the jerry can carry easy. Also passed all the rest.

In my defence for my poor run time, 2 days after getting back from RSC I was in bed for a week, sick as a dog, so I reckon I must have been coming down with something.

But whatever, the PSO still recommended me for para, so I must have done something right.

Good luck lads, particularly you Nick. I was dissapointed to see you had the AUDACITY(!) not to invite me to your leaving do.

Obviously shows what a great mate you really are. All the best for the future. :)
