no, you must be steaming mate, have you spoke to them?
yeah several times, i have been told the bloke who is supposed to organise my date is on leave... thats all they have told me, the worrying thing is im becoming a bit of a slob at home with all this waiting around, watching TV most of the time and getting slaughtered at the pub a couple of times a week, the only active stuff i do is my fitness programme, walking my dogs and my part time job! :o
sorry to hear that mate, what a shitter, whens he ment to be back. wanna try and keep going tho, as you have got this far.
if you dont mind me askin how old are you

Its not that bad mate, Just over 2 months. I had to wait 3 or so months. It flys by honest. Crack on with your training though and you'll be like Chris Akaboosy for Depot.

I might catch you round the cookhouse when your there mate :) If im luck to get that far lol

Alright mate. FINALLY you have got your date. Don't worry about it being miles away. I passed selection in march and my start date was in july. Time does go by quickly. Like Marty said, keep up on the fitness and i'll probably see you there at some point.
