Yeah you to mate, let me know how you get on at ADSC

[gudwin1988]

They ask you how you think the 2 days went, what you feel you could have done better on, what you enjoyed most.

They ask how your family feels about you joining, how you feel about getting deployed, and the fact that you could be killed one day.

They tell you what you need to improve on, and they also ask you a little about the training you will be doing so brush up on ya chosen cap badge, things like how long it will last for, the places you could get based, what the training will involve etc

The interview you have at selection is the most nerve racking one because this is when you find out if you have passed or not. But its like any interview if you know what you want and are confident and tell the truth you will be fine

[tobyj]

are right so its basically just what youve done on that trip. well thanks i think i will need to get reading more about coldstream guards then.

[gudwin1988]

yeah you can probably use the army mod site and print off a sheet, when i say they ask you questions about it, they dont spend like 10 minutes asking you the history, its more to make sure you know what you are letting yourself in for lol

They need to make sure you are serious about the job you want to join.

I found that interview the hardest thing about the 2 days, everything else was quite fun, but waiting for my bib number to be shouted out was just gruelling lol, all these people had gone in and come out with passes and fails and i was the last person to go in the waiting was all worth it though

[tobyj]

Yeah im just dreadin the icebreaker and interveiw, but once im started on the icebreeaker i think i will be fine tbh. i cant wait to go up like.
should be a laugh. do the sergeants have a laugh with you or propa pricks?

[gudwin1988]

they are a laugh as long as you do as your told.

There were a few people there that treated it like abit of fun wouldn't listen when the pti's were explaining how to use the static lift and other things, it was for our own safety but they thought they knew better, might i add them people failed (suprise suprise)

when i was trying to do my static lift the pti kept makin me laugh so i ended up having to do it four times, even though you only get 2 goes, but it was his fault not mine so...

They are just normal, they are there to help you on your 2 days not be nasty

[tobyj]

are right well im happy about that like. yeah you will always get one dick who thinks they know better. well i will let you know how i get on thanks matey

[gudwin1988]

You will have to pm me though because i wont be on here much after monday i will just have to check my messages when i get a chance

Good luck with everything, hope you do well
