Your name is Steve S**** and I claim my free CFT pass.

Steve was a Capt. He used to smoke whilst he was running, just to piss the PTI off. He still used to beat the PTI to the finish.

there's always someone who lowers the tone!

Seriously? Have you read though the threads on this site? A request for anal intercourse is about as high-brow as it gets around here.

On thread, I've said before that there are CFTs and there are CFTs. I've done a couple of ICFTs in Brecon that would cripple a mountain goat and I've done Corps weight CFT around the vicinity of a TAC that was almost as easy as falling out of bed. To mind, tabbing in your own time is always good phys, but that's just me.

I know there are some women in the TA who quite frankly I don't know how they made it through basic training, and they are more concerned if they've broke a nail or if there make up looks good, but we're not all like that! Some of us take it seriously and have the respect of the other guys in our sqn, both regulars and TA for as long as it takes for them to reach the front of the queue for getting their legs inflated.. don't tar us all with the same brush!

There, there. Don't get all flustered about it. It is not your fault that you can only reach the minimum standards if they have been lowered far enough that they could use a Sunshine Bus as a jack waggon.

Okay well maybe I'm being a bit naive!
You are right though, I don't profess to be able to keep up with a PTI or anything, but I'm proud of the fact that I've never failed one or dropped out or anything, at the end of the day it is harder for women as we are built differently, but having said that I don't expect any special treatment at all, and would be annoyed if we did get special treatment, I don't think we should get extra run time for our PFA, or for sit ups and press ups, (although I am glad of it for my Press ups as I have always struggled with them!)
At the end of the day reg or TA if you can't do the PFA or CFT you should really be questioning if should be in or not!
Is there an way of telling who is a reg and who is TA on this site?

Not really I'm afraid. Regular & TA; it's One ARRSE.

The only women in the TA that don't use their womanly charms to get their own way are women who upon first sight appear to be a bloke. Or have some kind of weird fungal infection in a visable area.

Less chat, more rat.

I'm regular. I take Fybogel every day.

I resent that comment! lol, I may not be the best looking women out there but have never once been mistaken for a man! lol, I have my curves in all the right places thank you, I think you'll find that the women who don't use their charm to get things are the ones with self respect who can stand on their own two feet.
How old are you lot? I feel like I'm having a conversation of the most part with school kids!
