So with the mtp you don't have to do the creases down the trousers no more? Also I got told no one wears their mtp tucked in all looking smart now? Is that the same for basic training?

Mtp is wank! It's true you don't I've to iron creases in, and it's worn untucked. Looks scruffy and American. And is a pain in the arse to iron flat. I'm on week 5, have put my DAOR in, not because it's hard. Just because I've changed my mind I what i want to do in life. Tbh the fitness is not overly hard. Although I found it pretty hard due to a lack of fitness.The every day basis themselves are pretty simple, theres alot of bullshit and order changes to contend with. But aslong as you do as your told abd keep uour head down its pretty easy. Please wxcuse the spelling abd last bit of this, im on my phone abd it wont let me wdit wothout deleting the whole lot.yiythemselves are pretty simple

Surely once you noticed that it wouldn't let you edit, you should have been more careful with your spelling?

I guess the lack of common sense is another secret reason that you submitted your DAOR? ;)

Haha yeah that is my reason! :p stupid I phone app, and auto-correct, once you get below the keyboard, for some reason it doesn't let you scroll down and stay scrolled down, just jumps straight back to the top. Lesson learnt, don't buy iPhones! :D

I was going to get the train but then my sis offered me a lift over there. I'll be dropped off at Royston station then the shuttle bus in.

So i'll most likely see you on sun!
I'll be the fellow joining the RTR at the ripe old age of 31.

Looking forward to meeting all the other folks going on the 15th too.

Almost finished packing my bags (Bloody coat hangers!)
