[pfcmase]

might be silly questions but any one no what sort pad locks to take , I dont want to get rong sort to big or small .......?

[silas]

Get them from Tesco or Asda.
Ive only seen 2 different sizes there, you want the larger of the 2

Yeah mate get the larger ones, you dont want the small ones as people can break into them easily.

I cannot believe you have made a thread here and on arrse about pad locks, i bet you will be the recruit that will ask all the silly questions as well

[pfcmase]

bla bla bla bla bla shhh

[jstagg]

Pfc mase, I'd avoide rudness on here, it doesn't go down well trust me. and especially to a para PTI

[Trev1]

I agree with jstagg. Sandy's a Para pti mate so a little bit more respect towards him would be nice as its people like him that keep the Para Reg as fit/good as they are.

[Trev1]

Just tought of a question myself though so thought I might aswell put it on here becuase its about paddlocks/lockers. On the army website it says take 8 padlocks so should I definetly take 8 padlocks or does there site need updating becuase Ive read some where that some of you are only taking 4. And how many lockers do you get at ITC Catterick? becuase 8 padlocks? surley you dont get 8 lockers?

Just 2 say...

sandy should respect pfc if he wants respect back, you all are just kiss ass's?

not trying to be rude but you just ganged up on the guy.... give him a break... and many people have asked the same, many others wont ask and will take the wrong thing... this is a forum to help so its not cool when someone ask's a decent question to mock it.


and no he wasn't rude if it was me i would have told him to Shut the f__k up...

yes on here you might have but certainly not too my face you wouldnt

[Trev1]

We werent ganging up on him mate we was just saying tha bla bla bla sssh is abit disrepectfull at least sandy used words. And no we are not all kiss ass's we all respect sandy because he has achiheved a great deal more than me you and lot of other members on this site and now he's training wannabes. And I personally have more respect for him due to the fact he as the balls to get in a cage a fight raw with another man (MMA-K1 same as me) which not alot of men even dare to do even some para reg lads who do milling etc I'm pretty sure sandy may agree with me, maybe not but. I agree with you that respect etc should be a two way thing two but no I am not ganging up or taking sides with anyone.

In all seriousness you should take on of these, they just fit right on your locker.

[gpw2009]

Nice one _Mark_ !! lol

Make sure you get ones that use a key to mate. You don't want to be messing around with a combination lock when you have about one minute to get in your locker, have a shower and then get back outside! And they are not as strong (not that I have robbed from lockers or anything!)

The accommodation I used for CIC PARA, we only needed 2 locks, but we were in the worst rooms there. There are some really new blocks were you get loads more lockers so you may need 8. But at the end of the day if it says 8, take 8! You could always give one to your mucker if he hasn't got enough, buddy-buddy system!
