I will visit here through phase one so can give up to date info if you want it. I heard it's pretty new there. You got your 20 coat hangers yet?

Will keep a eye out for you.
Pffft I need more time OOA
I've spent more time away recently than in England!
I think I've spent about 3 weeks in Scotland this year. Wouldn't mind it so much, if it wasn't due to me being at Cosford. Rather be OOA.

Got some nice magnum stealth boots, and am breaking them in around work and what not. Will pick up so cheepy combats from the army surplus at the weekend to run in for training and the day.
Doing half the distance easily now, albeit without the comando assult course in the way so feeling good.
Just gotta start getting people to sponsor me.
Will help once I try in Nov for my medical again, which I can't wait for really.

Not for joing up, just to run in for the charity run.
I'm trying to join the TA but I keep busting both my ankles, if I make it then I'll get some nice boots of my own. But just to run for a good casue and get me ready for my medical again they cant hurt.

You don't really do anything in the first week apart from admin.
ex first night in week 3 or 4 was when it went a bit sour for us.

Week one down lol. Lost 1 or two already through medical problems. Had first night exercise which was fun apart from waking up to a fox 6 inches from my face. Ate half my rat pack also.
Been 20 hour days mostly so pretty tired.
Few blisters so far. Gotta say food is great here though.

I did the olympics at the Royal Artillery Barracks venue, then RIP'd 1 rifles at the O2 arena for the paralympics (including the transition period), spent the first half as a PSA operater and the 2nd as a team leader.
yeah safe to say i was well and truely fed up by the end, it was quite an experience, however not one i wish to repeat in the near future, we ended up being QRF/mentoring the G4S staff towards the end.
