yeah was ok pretty standard really you expect most of it! i'd say the medical was the most nerve racking but after that's up just enjoy it. I went to Litchfeild for my ADSC which was cool, good bunch of lads i was with! just give you're all and ull be fine lads!

Lol, I've been through a marine medical and came out fine the only problem was i don't weigh a lot only 60kg and for the marines that was a problem apparently but everything else was fine. On the ADSC video i watched the doc said that they find alot of people with heart murmurs, could my local doctor check for them?

No, Pirbright in Surrey.... They must split the North and South of England into 2 then.. Will keep in touch though , because i would imagine if all goes well , we will be doing Basic together.. I'll send you a message after the 12th and if we are doing Basic at the same time, maybe catch up for a beer or something?? Cheers Tom

What centre will you be going to? If your going to get your date today i think it will be sooner than January, i had my interview last week and i got my Selection November 6th, if they ask you do you need any notice just say no you should get one asap. Let us know if you get November 6th.

i'll be at lichfield, and my SGT seems to think i will be going in the intake of 25th of january, but my ADSC is on the 6th of october! can't wait!

Please call me Josh, so what are you're reasons for joining the army? im off to join the infantry because the lack of order ect in my current job and realy the lack of fun! i can't stand civilian life with the 9-5 jobs, it's realy dull!! tho it has it's perks, the army will come with more!

the only thing that amkes me doubt a career is not seeing my long term girlfried enough, any of you had that problem befor?
