i bet loadz has changed since then i wonder what the only thing i know is that it isnt a guards depot any more

I couldnt tell you anything about training now to be honest, just go there as fit as you can get, doing a 10.30 pft or less and work hard

ermm can anybody tell me whats going on? i did my ADSC in July and passed all my tests to get in. I'm going in as a Gunner, Light Gun, Royal Artillery but they haven't given me a date yet. All i know is its next year. Everyone else seems to be getting dates and joining but not me.

everyone has to wait mate i passed selection in may and start basic training on the of november we're all in the same boat your not the only one who has to wait

be patient mate you'll get your date

okay thanks guys. Sorry just so eager to get in.

I passed ADSC back in September, with a run time of 9.48, and I'm due to start P1 on the 30th, probloem is, shortly after selection, I tore a ligament in my knee. I've been in physio since, and have been doing all the cardio I can(swimming, cycling, cross trainer) excluding running, as well as lifting weights 6 days a week.

I got the green light to start running today from my physio, and I dont know whether it was my subconciouss holding back to protect my knee or what, but I found the run seriously difficult. I'm seriously stressing about whats going to happen when I get to P1 and they see my run time has gone up as much as I'm sure it has. Ive still got over 3 weeks to try and regain my fitness, but I dont know if that will be enough to get me back to anywhere near what I was? To make matters worse, I can't hammer myself as much as I would like as according to my physio, I have to ease back into the running after my injury.

What happens if you get to P1 and your run time has gotten alot worse? Will I get sent home?

Training wise i go to the gym 3 or 4 times a week. ive not really been focusing on my 1.5 miler time since selection, rather just getting my all-round endurance up.

have you guys who're going on the 30th got a kit list yet? I had a letter the other day telling me about when to do my oath etc so i suppose i'll get one then?

Ask in health and fitness mate, best advice from them. If you're really parping it, ask to be set back an intake maybe? That's if you want to go in knowing you're fit and healthy. If you just want to get in then.... I don't know! Up to you.
