    Para POIC

    Has anybody on here been on one of these? I was lucky enough to grab the last place (apparently) on one in July which I'm very excited about but was wondering if any arrsers could give me an idea of what to expect?

    I've read the day to day itinerary for it but would still be keen to hear anyone's experiences/ insights. Any advice on what not to do/ say would also be a bonus.

    Any input would be much appreciated!

    Cheers


    ps, actually posted this in two places if anyone's confused as to why it's popped up twice in rapid succession.
    I loved the training. All we had to do was bayonet sacks full of straw. Even I could do that. I remember saying to my mum...."These sacks'll be easy to outwit in a battle situation"
