Camp Circuits

[Daveb]

I've heard a lot about doing camp circuits when you start foundation. What are these? How long are they?

I'm guessing its run around the camp, but how far is that roughly?

aahh - camp circuits. It is an 800m best effort run around a section of the camp. They wouldn't be so bad if you weren't already hanging from the MSC circuits. They increase the number of camp circuits all the time and eventually you will do them carrying those heavy green mats.

Aahh. Can't wait to get back to that.

i think someone said its about 800m, dont worry they arent that long. they are just bloody annoying when you have to do them over and over when you are knackered from the gym.
You have to do them in a certain time though, well at least at some point, again i think someone told me it was 3 mins, but im usually at the back when we come in from the camp circuits and i seem to do it on time so it cant be that bad.

My mate said his brother told him once he was in training there was a period of time where the new recruits werent allowed to walk anywhere in camp they had to run everywhere or else they got into big trouble lol.

hm well im in to my 4th week and all i been told is that i have to march correctly or double (run) if im not marching.

DAMN! That sounds like a good torture session.

My troop had to double everywhere, even when you were on your own. Was a hangout after an exercise having to double round camp, it turns into more of a feet shuffling event to be honest. But i think it helped me out a bit when it came to speed marching as your legs were a bit more used to the pace.

"Camp Circuits" Also known as......

The quickest way to get run over by a 4 tonner!!

These PTI's need to use a bit of common dog. They always seem to do it at rush hour!!!!!

More entertaining that way...

Camp circuits are the bane of the 9 weeks you spend in the gym. One of my most memorable sessions was a 40 minute period on a Saturday morning, spent doing rope climb, camp circuit, rope climb, camp circuit, rope climb...etc...etc...etc...

You have to run it in 3 minutes on gym passout day, not a hard time to beat but you will be hanging out your hoop by that stage. Don't worry, all phys is good phys

lol, we were doing a camp circuit when a troop had just come back off their 9 mile speed march. lol, we are running up there they are marching down, we were being shouted at to get out the frikkin way. lol that was humourous
