then,each day various runs(long distance including local welsh hills,40mins or so,hill reps and a mile with 35lbs of weights,100m jog on a 400m track,then a 100m fast run,repetitions for 6 rounds,also incl is the 1.5m on a 400m--5 tracks around it is 9mins;6 rounds always 10.40-11.20,keep in mind everyday runs and training)

everday:10+mins roping;30 or less mins of punching-bag.plus evening light weights(variations according to days,maybe biceps,shoulder etc for each day).

Quite a fitness regime you have going on.

Im sure you will be fine if you dont injure yourself before you even start.

How long does it take you to do your 490 press ups? and sit ups?

[sportbilly42]

These 490 press ups, 490 sit ups..... Were they on the Wii or the X-Box? And why 490? Could your PC not handle 500?

And Dips.... Was that WITH Doritos or without?

What is there to analyse? You need to be able to run 1.5 miles in under 9minutes 18 seconds to be in with a chance of passing Recruit Selection and starting Parachute Regiment depot. Simple.

Just rewind a bit,you're an Undergraduate!!,your 'aving a farking roman.
Try writing like a grown up for starters,you wouldn't submit the sort of text you have posted to your tutor would you?,(at least I would hope not) and expect to be taken seriously.

Ahh SH i see you a big fan of these tramps as much as me (some people call them students)! ive got mates who did 4 years at uni to get a degree in David Beckham and still work stacking shelves! WHats the point, he could of stacked shelves and not been 10k in debt!

Like Paratrooper said, do the run if you cant run somemore till then what ever you do is pointless as you wont pass and be aloud to start!

hey,

am literary learning a lot here,from just the replies (esp.,haters,haha,thanks==haters,becoz u dnt know me n readily judge me),on (that learning on) the psychology of paras (or seems infanteers).at least wen i go 4 da icebreaker n interviews,i would know to keep ma gobble shut on my educational achievement(which i forgot to tell,haters particularly,that i have been,or should say suppose to be starting my postgrad,as i have been accepted by glasgow uni,brunel,leicester and nottingham(to do military studies n the last, behavioural psychology).

why i dont do sumtin not so nutts wit ma life;the 10+proffessional of my degree(civil servant,journalism etc) or choose army career that with ''status'',simply,personal reasons,i owe sumting to our armed forces,and promised myself to payback wit the service at it most desperate time,like now with the war on terror.secondly,was offered military intel or officer training and sandhurst,but i choose the trenches,where the essence of soldiery is at.....yeah i am a romanticist.

in simple words,my choice here is based solely on principles of honour and duty,to the country and family.bullshit,you say.here,the army(paras),were responsible for my life...all i can say.you wanna hate,and jiving bollocks to feel good about yourself(and the feeling that this forum seems to gives u,of regency..yeah regency,that supreme authority,wisdom and machoism,i did it..so u all listen to me,and u have to)then f@#k it,go 4 it,mate.

well,to those who just finished ADSC,gives us details a la foreign legion forums.for example,medical what specifics,interviews usual questions,breaking the days in detail,waking up time etc.

thanks in advance,and sorry to any feeling of offensive to anyone,not intended to be so.

[Hyperlithe]

I'm sorry, what language are you typing in?
Only I speak 5, and it's none of those...

What exactly are you trying to ask?

davo - do you think all students are tramps? Just interested, cos I happen to have a degree. Be very careful how you answer that.

[tom163]

Now WTF was that! I'd sort out the english skills or i'm sure one of the mods will love to use the ban hammer.

[hannibal143]

IN ENGLISH AS REQUESTED!!!!

Dear chaps, oh my apologize, please.I meant, Dear Ladies & Gentlemen,

I would SINCERELY like to apologize for any feelings of hostilities and offense, that some individuals in this forum might have felt to have been consciously intended and directed to all those members of this splendid forum. I meant no offense, but hold to highest esteem and respect, to all these members; the former paratroopers, the present troopers and those seeking to belong in future to this elite regiment of her majesty armed forces.

Please, Kindly accept my sincere apologizes.

Sincerely,

Hannibal143.
