Is it just me that thinks that some of these lads going into training potentially know, or think they know, too much of what awaits them.
Maybe I'm being a bit old fashioned but surely part of the fun is learning along the way, trying to pick your way through the bullsh*t to get at the important bits.
Prepare by all means but the staff at Lympstone, Catterick, Aldershot or wherever you're heading should be allowed to have a few surprises up their sleeve.
Just a thought....

Too much knowledge..
Interesting point PongoLogs. I knew very little book-type stuff before joining up and not much more when I left (and probably even less now). If you're going to be a grav/grunt there's not much to know that can be described, it's all practical. Mind you, as a signaller, which lends itself more to anorak discussions, the only thing I distinctly remember about clansman radios is that the range is proportional to how 'kin heavy they are. When you're in, at the end of the day it's a job and what dull sods talk about their jobs in their spare time?
