Yeah but it will still be bloody hot when you start so it will be nice when it begins to cool down a bit.. 8)

Then of course you'll freeze your bollocks off, but hey! :lol:

My AFCO rang me today saying he's just waiting on security clearence and i'll get my date.

billy_bob im confused ? when are you starting training ? and just so i know is the date they gave you the earliest you could get because all the ones before are full up ?

Just trying to get an idea what date i might get.

Sorry folks if ive confused you all , i am now starting RT on the 4th september, security clearence for me took about 4-5 weeks i cant remember

um i asked for after the summer when he asked me and he said september would be the date so i went with that, i think their are still taking in recruits during the summer i aint sure i asked him if i could change but he said just stay with september so i did. I picked that date so i can prepare myself for RT i aint the strongest of people so i thought id give myself acouple of months to prepare

Hi billy_bob

I also start Recruit training on this date, plenty of time to get in fine shape for training!!!, I will have to have a pint in each hand :D or if I dont my drinking arm will be a hell of alot stronger than the other by the end of the summer!!!, there is the world cup first and also endless summer nights spent sitting outside the pub sorting out the worlds problems in the first 5 (sorry 8 ) pints!!!! :P , also better try and fit a hoilday in there some where as well to keep the better half happy.

Im looking forward to starting training as much as I enjoyed the PRMC!!, still dont know how I got the best on course :D!!!!!, just dont tell anyone that we were also on the same PRMC way back in Feb this year or people will start to talk!!!. Enjoy the summer beacuse I have a feeling its going to be a cold winter!!!!

lol, Good stuff, I wouldnt mind a wee holiday before I hit RT but I cant quiet think of anywere to go for cheap as im skint, Im spending too much on boose at the weekends but it will soon all pay off when it comes to those initiation test after RT :P well I hope. So have you been doing much training after PRMC?? i aint done alot although im a bit stronger than i was at the prmc, so im just getting back into my routeen and hopefully will get me into shape for RT, which as you said will be very cold!
