Dropping Out

hi guys. I was wondering, for those you who made it pass PRMC or POC but left training later, what was it that caused you to drop out - injury, failing a test...?
I'm curious to see what the common hurdles might be that cause people to stumble.

Search 'hunter' and you`ll see 99% of the lads who went into training from this forum are actually in there.
Its the Military Forums curse.

My mate in training said most people who dropped out was due to either injury or deciding that it wasnt for them. None dropped out due to failing tests.

i dropped out because i was an idiot, let everything get the better of me, should have just chilled and got on with it, regreted leaving everyday since though. I do think i was too young at the time though.

you get taken out of training and it feels like you are going nowhere while all your mates are progressing.
I've never been there, but thats what I'd think!

dave n, you hit the nail on the head! that is a big part of it, the other part that gets to you is the endless admin and kit musters. the hunter training staff werent really sure how to fill all the days of the week, seeing as the lads in hunter are all at various stages of training so its hard to make a program that suits everyone. either that or they couldnt be arsed! i'll make one thing clear though- the remedial PTI's are blinding, really top blokes.

I think Carlisle Youth was the first on here for a while to pass out as an original, or he was a few months back. Either Dan or Danny did as well, but that was a couple of years ago now!
Hunter is horrendous, if you're not doing phys you are doing admin, and you know that none of it's actually getting you anywhere. It was the only time I actually considered wrapping as a viable option, and I only had my tests left to do. Avoid!

I'd like to add that in Hunter 1, if you're not doing phys, you're looking for admin to do.

Going into hunter was the hardest test for me (so far

) but once your back in a troop you forget all about it
