Going by a couple popular threads on here about the Armed Forces i thought i would start the ultimate armed forces thread:)
As you can tell by my sig im interested in the Army, and i just feel so lucky to be born in the country that has the best Army in the world.

So far ive passed medical and in two weeks im doing my BARB Test, and after that its my fitness test so far so good. Anyone else trying out for the Army and what regiment?

Go in to your local AFCO, have a chat with them, see what they say. They may be able to show you different options that may take your fancy. I found that online chat careers office thing crap tbh, not much help at all.

Lol, ive just checked on google maps, and I walk 1.6 miles in 12 minutes every morning walking to work after getting off the train, and half of that is up hill. Is it really 1.5 miles in 12 minutes on the flat? Surely that's well easy.

I would love to see someone walking down the street at that pace:p
