Nuttty, since you're a Brighton lad, get yourself to http://www.bmfbrighton.com/ and get to some of the sessions. Let them know you start in a few weeks and they'll put you through your paces for a perfect preparation. I should know, they got me through my PRMC 8) 8)

Well i did my selection in april so its taken me 6 months to get my actual start date, thats only because you have to do another selection if you want to go into the nursing corps because they only have a limited amount of places each year and the next selection for the nursing was in august. So i went for that selection in august and then 3 days later i got a call from my careers centre telling me i had passed and my start date was 20th october :D

I sign my oath on the 7th which is when i get my soilder number cant wait..

how far along are you becci?? and what you wanting to join??

Hey thats great.

Well i have sent my medicla off and just heeard back that they want add info so i am kinda worrying more now, but im sure i will find out soon enough.

What is the next stage if i pass that do yo u know?

I am looking to go into REME as a mechanic or RLC as a driver or Royal Signals it has taken me a little while to get here but it gives me more time to train.

Bet you cant wait now, WELL DONE GOOD LUCK :P

I'm about to delete this whole thread for awful grammar and text speak.

your careers officer will get the forms back and contact you, if your medical forms get the all clear then your careers officer will put your name in for selection and you will have to wait until you here back from them for a date but it doesn't take to long.

I hope all goes well for you :D

If you got any more questions just ask im happy to help, make sure you get your spellings right though :-?

I did mine in 10.36 which was really fast for me because at home i was doing it in 12 mins so i was suprised when i did so well, must have been the adrenalin lol.

How have you got your soilder number already, i want mine :o lol

Whats Pirbright like? 21 days and it's going to be my new home :D

And just sit tight Becci it will happen soon just look at it as a chance to get fitter. Keep up your training and by the time you get to selection you will pass with flying colours
