finally back!

Post by darrenrugby18 »

Alrite lads and ladies,

Finally my internet is working so can post! don't no where to start really...first 2 weeks are well....in my eyes quite shite, literally pure admin and more admin, there's 46 in our troop with one MD (jacko sorry fella) and apparently we've got a rep as a good troop already, and for our PSO interviews we're the best troop he's ever had so we've been told which is hoofin. In my experience of the first 2 weeks it's all about being the grey man, doing as your told when you're told and just crackin on with you're admin, because basically thats all it is, with some phys aswell. Generally speaking our troop are a good bunch of lads with the occassional w*nkers who need to sort their act out but hopefully they will. Our training team are awesome and with their last troop they passed out 35 lads! one of the biggest kings squads. Moved into our 6 man accom now which is alot more 'homely' i suppose you can put it then a 60man room! you'll most likely find you'reself thinkin 'wtf have i done' during the first couple of days because it's a culture shock, but keep you're head up and be proud of what your doing, you're no longer civi scum :wink: (well still kinda! haha)

Any q's fire away but im only 2 weeks in so no indepth silly questions i won't no!

Alright Darren, what's the phys side of things like?, What sort of phys do you do?. Good luck with the rest of training, keep up the good work mate.

Don't take this the wrong way but 'civvy scum' is a bit harsh. You cant really count yourself as not being a 'civvy' after two weeks when its just two weeks of basic admin and phyz. I dont think any NOD can say that untill they have passed out as a trained rank. Whats is in that two weeks that eliminates you from being 'civvy scum', not a lot just 14 days- which is nothing compared to 14 years being a Royal Marine.
