HAI!

Post by marine_wannabe »

Hey fellas, well now coming to the end of week 6 training so thought I'd give a little post and see if anyone has any questions or queries about the training itself.

Won't lie this place can be tough, past 6 weeks I've had more ups and downs than I thought I ever would, it's natural . Main thing you need to remember is to get through foundation!

Gotta go net time has ended pm or message on here.

Hi marine_wannabe,

Firstly, I would like to say well done for your first 6 weeks!

What have your ups and downs been so far? Have you been coping ok with the phys? Also what are the class room sessions like and what sort of stuff have you been learning?

Cheers and good luck!
