GL Bennett, and enjoy yourself on hollidays. Get pissed and get laid, the week before i'd do some controlled overtraining so you'll have all your holliday to recover and you won't loose much fitness. Taking a break in training is NEVER bad, so long as it ain't every second week, good for ya physcially and mentally.

Pongo > Pong > Smell

RM don't think much of the armies "hygiene", so they call em Pongos.

Hey guys having recently had my dream of earning a green lid put on hold by the CPMO (matlo doctor!), at week 20 of trainning I decided that after reading this thread; that instead of mulling arond the house feeling sorry for myself I would try to help you guys ! Although no longer in training my troop are at week 24 and I still keep in daily contact with my old oppos so any questions I cant answer I will endevaour to find out .

Rite Simonm,
I wasnt actualy MD'd mate they had started the process which takes months and almost always ends that way .So to avoid it and hopefully be able to get back in I was advised to opt out !It was due to Excema bit shit but hey lifes hard !In terms of trainning effort and money/time the trainning team were anoyed but its not there descision !

Sorry to hear that mate hope it sorts it's self out and you can back down there and get through I'm sure you'll piss training second time through.
