Got my copy through this morning. Immediately started reading and never put it down for two and a half hours!
About a quarter way through just now.
Simon, it's amazing how you can recount so much about recruit training. I can't remember that much about last week!

Right, im halfway through the book. Just one real observation about it. Simon did it ever stop bloody raining..
jeesus. They should start supplying umbrellas as standard issue kit.
Monday it rained
Tuesday got soaked to the skin.
Friday battering down with rain.
Seriously though, given me a good idea of the 30 weeks, and im absolutely terrorfied (if I ever get there)
In fact, im off to read more...
brilliant

At long last Amazon has delivered my copy of 'Forced Out'. It will be early to bed tonight with a large tot of the amber nectar and looking forward to a good read.

BEasta,
No it didnt'! Thats what happens if you go through training in the winter months!
A major RM said to us at CTC, "if it aint raining it aint training"

Eventually my book shop got it in after 4 weeks waiting and i read it in one day. It gave me a good insight to real life at CTC and the constant down pour of rain. I liked how you described each person as your braught them into the 'picture' . It also discouraged me from joining but at the same time made my desire to join greater. I never laughed while reading a book before but your tomato sauce incident did. Brilliant book with a 'down to earth' approuch.
Good work.
Good work.

OK OK I'll get the book as soon as I can, I usually get any RM Books as soon as I can but have been reading some other stuff lately. I am intrigued about the Tommy Sauce dit now and will wait to read it.
Cronkilla I noticed in your profile this lot!
Fitness: Yep you'll need this and will go far.
military: Right career choice there!
computer security: Ummm not a lot of use for this!! Passwords on screensavers is RM security LOL
programming: always comes in handy if you want to record something on the video whilst you are out but if you say C++ or VB they'll not have a clue what you are talking about. The nearest the Corps gets to Java is coffee
drinking: This is a Corps event and with it you'll go far
