i passed mine back in april, i go Catterick on the 4th of october to start my basic
the Physical training session (PT) was very tough, lasted for about 20-30minutes, continuously running, then dropping and doing 10 pressups 10 starjumps, 10 knee jumps, some people couldnt even do 10 pressups never mind doing about 10 sets of them, people were dying on the spot, including myself
the Icebreaker was the most nervous ive ever been, im not good being social, so standing up infront of 50 guys and talking about myself, i had turtles head all the way through it
the Cpl's are funny as hell, allways taking the pish out of the Seargents and Sir's, he said to us before our interview, You know lads hes gonna want you clean shaven, thats because they love little boys.
the grenade test, i cant believe i passed that! all it was, was a 5 minute slideshow, you got no reading or revision material, you just had to absorb this info in seconds, my memory is like a siv and i remembered everthing, its suprising what you remember when you actualy want to remember it.
best day of my life when he said i passed though, ive applied 4 times defered 3 times, its taken me 3 years, had 2 operations just to get in, long journey.
