Yeah got all mine about 3 month ago, just waiting to do my oath now.

They've got an up to date kit list for the ATR on the army website somewhere If you want it a bit earlier.

I'm coming from Kent mate, how about yourself?

Nice, expect I'll be doing my oath a couple of weeks before. Fair enough, I've started getting the odd stuff as I see it, now looking out for a decent cheap iron, might just take the one from the house before I leave ;)

Just ticking over with circuit and runs every other day, not beasting myself like I did before selection, could see myself picking up an injury a week before!

How about you mate, doing much training?

Just running 3 times a week and some weights and cardio at the gym. Been going swimming once a week and finding that really good! I know what your saying last thing I want is an injury!

They asked me if I wanted to go for a day up aldershot on the 1st July. Don't think will be doing a great deal just a chance to ask a few questions get an idea for the different units etc and think you do a little bit of running/ assault course. Think it's open to anyone including people who aren't even in the process of joining, should see if you can get on it mate.

How long have you been waiting for your start date bud?

hey guys, ive just signed up to these forums. just noticed that your both going to bassingbourn, ill be going in september this year as a design draughtsman.

was any of you told that you had to wait till next april??

Just has my date changed from the 27th November to the 7th August. Couldn't believe it for the first ten minutes, but its so much better than having to wait five months.

Yeah I think I went to that last year, if it's the same thing I'm thinking of. Might have to ask at my AFCO what it's all about.

Well I passed adsc in november, so almost 9 months by time I'm in training! Worth it though.

How about you buddy, when did you pass selection?
