Im currently very confused about the system of how you get two chances to pass your PRMC or POC, does the same apply to both of them? why is it like this? :oops:

Really if you fail the POC, unless you make a complete turn around, its most probably best to head in the direction of the PRMC. At least that way you don't kid yourself and waist more time building yourself up for another fall. Heh, that was a bit negative :)

i know the necessary scores for phsical side of test is higher on POC but i read somewhere that you had to get 65 press ups (which is max.), 80 sit ups(max) and 16 pull ups (yep, its max.) is this true????

It changes, one guy had a comletely different task than past POC applicants. It could be wide arm pressups, elbows in & head up, or something different. I think it goes without saying that they gonna change certain bits to avoid people training too specifically. Therefore the amount of pressups/situps/pullups required might change accouring to the difficulty.

If one was to pass the POC and then either fail the AIB or get passed over for an officer placement, would that POC pass constitute a PRMC pass if the applicant decided to enter as a recruit?, or would he have to start from square one?.

I think that if you pass the POC but fail or dont recommended for the AIB, you can enter recruit training directly without a PRMC.

Good question.
