Hopefully I can join back up soon. these runs are alot like whatn the yanks do. 5KM run 3 days a week split up into three groups of varying pace, so the fitter people of the platoon keep fitness and don't get dragged down doing super slow 10min/mile pace runs.

I did the initial SA 80 tests in Folkstone ( Shorncliff) and the day didn’t go well at all. My first question is ”WTF I’d with the Ironing Boards.?? 🤣🤣🤣 Are they no longer part of standard issued equipment in the accommodation?? Or have you got to buy your own floor bumper as well.???

I appreciate your suggestion, but obtaining a commission doesn't really interest me - even if I did possess the skills required in the first place. My view to joining is that I would like a change of pace in my spare time, and obtain a different perspective from civilian life. 7 Rifles appears to be something I'd like to become involved with, and as I understand it, they recruit from the London and South East areas.

@djrxp 4 жыл бұрын
Hi Ryan, the distances vary. But your 2km run time does pass the test required. Keep chipping away at it but yes that would be fine to start training. I recommend mixing your runs up. Do some longer, easier runs to get used to the miles. And then some shorter, harder ones

@djrxp
@djrxp 4 жыл бұрын
@@Ryan-ui9wl I think both tests are very achievable. Don't be too concerned about which may or may not be harder. The fitter you are, the easier both of those tests will be. Absolutely do some mock bleep tests to prepare. I recommend doing them until failure (not just stopping at the pass mark) as you will get an idea of how fit you actually are. I like mixing up my training so I don't get too bored!

Harry Harry you said in combat so I mentioned combat medic, my dad was environmental health in the raf and still got shot at, MERT helicopter pilots had to go to the front line and get shot at, I assumed logistics because of the road warriors series on KZbin, the Sandhurst documentary on KZbin also mentioned that 90% of British soldiers in afghan have had to use their weapon system, so plenty of women have been in combat. On your point of my mum or sister etc, my dad went a couple of times I don’t see how it would’ve been different if my mum did 22 years and went twice, my dad could’ve also been taken hostage and beheaded so the gender is irrelevant if they’re both fit enough to be in the military. I also don’t work for the government, just thought I’d mention that women have already experienced the stresses and challenges of combat so I’m sure they’ll do alright in the infantry

Harry Harry even if we can’t agree on whether women should go to war, we’re desperate for anyone in the army these days which is probably why there’s plenty of women joining the infantry.
