Havent got a 3rd choice yet lol

Hey guys and girls, I've just come back from ADSC(G) yesterday and I can tell you it was an amazing few days. I had to travel up the evening prior to my intake date due to me having to do a spirometry test. The only advice I can give is to make sure you give 110% for the whole time you are there. That place is like Big Brother, you are always being watched and marked from the minute you get on the bus to the minute you get off the bus again.

Unfortunately, I can't tell you what grade I got just yet as the medical staff are waiting for further information from my GP so I'm trying to make an appointment to see my GP today. As soon as I get it sorted, I can get my grade and pass certificate. The ADSO did tell me that based on my current scores, he reckons I'll probably get an A or at least a high B. I got 83 on my BARB, L2 on both Literacy and Numeracy and 51 out of 55 on my TST. I just can't wait to get things sorted with my GP and get myself away to Pirbright for Basic.

Good luck anyone going anytime soon!

They are a piece of piss mate, you lift 4 bags up to a height of 1.45m going from 15kg to 40kg. If you are of average build you should manage it no bother. When i was at selection only 1 person failed it.

Im about 5 ft 4 :/
