I may be a female so the requirements are slightly lower, but I don't settle for a pass, only for excellence. Now I know more specifically what kinds of tests there are, I can test myself already to know what progress is being made.

We used to have 2 PT vest a red one and a white one. the white one was worn when we had PT in the Gym and that was for us to lay on the floor on our backs and push ourselves around on our backs cleaning the floor - the white PT vest were not so white afterwards. The next day we would have to show a lovely white vest again. We never had any type of washing machines or dryers - yep it was great fun.

My fastest 1.5 was 8 minutes 40 and my best 20 meter Beep was slightly under 13 12/8 I think. 1.5 mile is 9 laps around a football field Tips 6 laps at a fast pace 3 laps best effort If your running on flat road like army lads do generally when you see the last few hundred meters you belt It! My only tips for the beep test If they still do It Is make it harder for yourself when you train at home. Measure out a few meters extra (makes you work harder for every level 22/26 meters. One thing they do I think In the Court System Is they let you get to a certain level For example the prisons service and police force Is a 15m one but they let you get to level 7 or 8 first then stop everyone for 5 minutes then do the actual test. Some Public Services let you get tired before you do the tests. For the army mainly It's a slow jog and a slow walk for about a mile from what I've read and seen! Then they ask you to do the run! You can make It harder for yourself when you train at home before you go to the PFT Center. Running cross country up and down hill uses alot more fitness then normal flat road running! Measuring a few meters more when you do beep tests at home u can buy apps ect. Do fell running and jog places up and downhill (ben nevis, snowdonia, your local moors!).

This is easy for Gurkha guys in nepal we used to carry 5 kg bag pack and run 5 km on mountain and next 2400m in 9:30. Gurkha are tough to trained such kind of harsh situations. I had cleared my every obstacle but couldn’t make in merit list.

I really want to join the Army, have done for many years but I got rejected because I broke my hip 5-6 years ago, sucks. Still enjoy watching military videos though

[@deplorabled1695]

Sorry to hear it Connor. My advice mate, join the Royal Air Force.

[@conorprice4229]

Deplorable D I dont have any GCSE's so I dont think I could do much in the RAF. Ill have a look into it though, why not

[@deplorabled1695]

@@conorprice4229 Conor, they still need drivers, cooks and what not in the RAF. Once your in, the sky is the limit mate. All the services do a good job of training you if you are ambitious and want to join other branches... provided you are a good operator, keep your head screwed on and polish your boots.

I really want to join but my only concern is personal hygiene as a woman. Do we get enough time to shower properly?I heard they're allowed only 3minutes like tf!

[@freeguy3376]

Hygiene is a top priority in the British forces just remember your training for the phase 1 for 14 weeks compared to being in the field army is very different you are expected to maintain your personal hygiene to high levels and you will be beasted if you don't keep on top of it.
