The endurance course

Post by Jacko »

I know how you feel, Ben. That endurance course gets most of us. it gave me pain......

On its own, its fun. but after three hours on the bottom field going through hell with a telegraph pole and such, the last thing you want is that endurance course.

Glad your going straight back in for it.

Jacko

P.S. did many people get dropped because they didn't get the minimum on the bleep test?

Jacko, Quite a few lads were binned on the Bleep test (I think it was 3/4) and i remember one lad wrapping on level 9 which was a real shock. The pass level was 11 and the top score was over 13 I think. One guy got 325 on the RMFA which was a great score but chucked it in on the bottom field the next morning.

:o I bet there's some open peepers from the lads on the PRMC training schedule thinking, "'Kinnell! When do you stop for tea and biccys?"
You should talk to somebody who gives a f**k.

Tea and Stickies were on the second day after the endurance course, during the discussion exercise and they were exceedingly good cakes! Her Majesty knows how to look after her boys.

Her Maj can be trusted, unlike Blair and Co, but that's another debate. 8)
