    how long till you PT?

    there's really no tricks....just start training for what you need to do.

    start doing pull ups and running, etc.

    PT??

    the upper body strenght im not phased with..should be a walk in the park.
    its just the fitness side of things i should do it in 10.30, you get graded into sets A B C D E F G the higher set gets into training quicker (first choice) id be happy with A-C

    sorry, pt just means your physical readiness test.

    I guess you UK guys call it medical.

    have you done some practice runs of your test? how are your numbers?

    i applied for the army but had to pull out due to a ripped back muscle, i went and did my run and stuff at york, ice breaker was a bitch sat there thinking of everything i would say and when i got up there it all disappeared. One last thing when you go to one of the bases the jerry cans are very light, only problem is im sure the bastards grease the handles ive never carried something as slippy in my life
