Good scores mate, any chance of a diary? It's always good to read someone's account of their experience down there.

Congrats on passing alee! I've pm'd you, think we were on the same prmc.

Here's a link to a diary I've written over on prmc.co.uk for those interested.

Thanks guys. I know Fodd has previously made a post about 'effort' but I would like to reiterate this point.
I started RT in June last year and managed to pick up an injury in week 4 and then ended up in Hunter. I felt like crap because I had just started to get on well with people in my troop and also get used to the lifestyle. I knew that I wouldn't go back into that troop and realised that I just needed to concentrate on getting my shoulder better. Then came even more bad news... 'we think you would be better off at home, as you have only been in training a few weeks'. So I got home and didn't really know where to go from there. I contemplated taking up my place at university but then realised that was not what I wanted. I focused on my physio for 9 months and worked in crap jobs, always knowing that I definatly wanted to go back, and here I am with an RT date!
My point is, that no matter what the circumstances are, as long as you keep in the back of your head what you really want to do, then you will get there. I know it is a clichete, but it is being put in these situations that build charecter.
Say for instance I get put in hunter, I will just think of how hard I had to work to get to where I am and that I will get my green lid!!
I know this may not make any sence to anyone, but I just though it would be a bit of motivation for the people of the forum who are not quite where they wished to be at this moment in time.
Good luck people
