Got my fitness test tomorrow at 5pm.

Gonna be interesting because Im certainly not prepared well enough. Once its out the way and I have a start date im gonna work my ass off to get into shape though.

What training are you doing Begbie? I did IOT in the RAF back in 2002 so would be happy to give you any tips I learnt going through that.

What sort of stuff are you doing to require one guy getting an ambulance? :eek:

I've got my pre joining training course on the 26th of February and then I start Halton on the 16th of April. I'm going to the gym 3 times a week so hopefully I will keep it up and be fit enough when I start.

Seems to be a lot of OCUK'ers joining.

That's because a few members on here constantly say 'Join the forces' when people ask for careers advice

Mad_Jay · 27 Jan 2009 at 21:23

We will soon have our own OcUK regiment.

Zefan guilty of always suggesting people think about joining the forces?
