I'm Off !

Post by shifty »

Well i'm off to Halton on wednesday fot RT.

I haven't really posted much here but have found all the information brilliant.

I'll try and keep you all updated but, there are plenty of posts about what goes on down there. I think Dookie is on the same course as me, and we're going for ASOP.

Good luck to all those in the application process. Stick at it, and be patient. Recruiting is slow. It took me 16 months from first applying to getting my date for Halton.

Thanks

Back for my first weekend off and the end of phase 1. Start GDT on Monday and can't wait.

Halton is not hard and isn't easy. Just do as you're told and give 110% effort in everything especially PT.

Our intake has seen quite a few people leave already, a lot for medical reasons.

Dookie is in my flight and my room and we have a good laugh. You will make some good friends while you're there.

PM me if you have any questions
