My careers officer has just rang and they want me to join on 29th July, i am not sure about this because of holidays i have in August, he says i will be there for 2weeks then get 3weeks leave, but he is not 100%sure can anyone eg Dan tell me when they are going on leave.
Also what physical tests will i have when i arrive because obviously there is not much time to make great improvements, my body takes ages to improve my much, i am mainly concerned about the running and press-ups!
What distances will i be running in the first few weeks?
Any help much needed and appreciated

Didn't pay too much attention when the guys at the AFCO told me, i was too busy smilling and planning the break!

Just silly old me being picky, but Royal Marines do not go 'On Holiday'; they 'Take Leave'.

Matt, you can go on holiday any time. You may only get one chance of joining up. Take it.
Anyway as Loz says you may even get to go to hot exotic places at the expense of HMG where you only have to provide your own cam cream!

THE ROYAL MARINE HEADQUARTERS REQUIRES NO PHYSICAL FITNESS PROGRAMME.................EVERYONE GETS ENOUGH EXCERCISE.....
a. Jumping to conclusions;
b. Flying off the handle;
c. Carrying things to far;
d. Dodging responsibilities; and
e. Pushing their luck.
