Week 4 Monday

Post by braywick »

Hello lads just thought I'd let you know how it was all going.

Enjoying training so far but we've been given a bit of a thrashing this last week. Phys session yesterday was out of this world, and I'm sure that's how they are going to be from now on!! :(

Admin is the thing that pisses you off the most for the first two weeks, but you soon get the hang of it. Quite a few nobbers in the troop, but hopefully they will start dropping off soon.

We've already lost three to MD, but we've also gained two backtroopers,
38 in the troop now.

If anyone has questions feel free to ask.

Alright mate, I start training on the 27th and I was just wondering is foundation as bad as people make out? Also I think there is a lad in your troop who was in my prmc, carn't remember his name he came from Canada. Enjoy training mate.

A lot depends on your DL, he is with you pretty much all the time through foundation, and his character will determine how happy you are!

We've got a hoofin DL, so I didn't find foundation too bad, but the admin does give you nightmares for the first week or so.

foundation is crap, but it gets better once you get to your block, especially if you get a nice newly refurbished one like we did 8)

Week 8 for me now and still no major probs so far. Got week 9 Gym passout next week so Im looking forward to that, and then its straight onto bottom field :o
