hi guys...im struggeling...im starting RT on the 8th of May..and yesterday at work I had my right index finger crushed between to planks..ripped off the end of my finger and the nail...I didnt lose the end of my finger, just all the tissue...and is in a bad way..so sadly im off training for a while untill i get the nod from the doc..and the nurses werent that helpful in telling me when I could be active again...probably coz I was dripping blood all down them..lol...really hope this doesnt delay my entry

Dont sweat it, an injury like that isnt going to stop you running or doing press-ups and sit-ups is it. the only thing it will affect is your pull-ups. So your not really going to lose fitness are you. By the time RT comes a long it should be almost healed, you would hope, and if not just wrap it up in a plaster or something

lol hey dude, hows the finger still counting the days until we leave going to run a mile and a half backwards friday, supposed to be good for hill running! i might look like a complete idiot but it'll be worth it hopefully your fingre should still be alright for when we go!

Dont pick your nose and use the other hand to play with your Missus and you'll be fine.

Its not a long term injury, so the RM shouldnt be worried. I doubt it will delay your entry, but I havent seen the injury so cant really advise on that. Just turn up and if its farked they'll give you light duties or some sick leave until your fit. May aswell get pusser paying you.

Ive got a spare one in the freezer if it helps
