ARmy Rumour SErvice

[QUOTE=geoffafa;4274715]Depends on which parts you loved - if it was showering with the lads then I can see where your recruiter's coming from.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!

nahh I love running and press ups and stuff also we had single shower cubicles .

passed pre selection tuesday date for selection down at pirbright is 11th of april let me know if anyone else is going down on the same day ! Also would like to querie which topics are commonly requested to talk about in the icebreaker because im struggling to come up with a minute and a half on a few of the topics might just be me

also im quite concerned about the number of people i hear getting deffered for heart murmurs is it a good idea to see my local gp doctor to see if he can hear anything before going down to adsc because its a good 5 hour journey down to pirbright for me so i dont know quite how il respond if i get deffered for this in the medical ha ive also been told that they defer people to this just to cut numbers although im sure this is not true ?

They would just stop recruiting if it was to cut numbers, it costs money to put you through the selection process.

From what I've read on here and other random sites, I doubt going for a check-up would do you much good as you could easily be worked up/panicing and get an inaccurate result. I would just focus on getting ready for selection and ensuring that you're ready to earn yourself an A grade. If you were to get deferred for a murur, I believe you have a full investigation at the hospital to check if it is innocent or abnormal and so it's not a definitive no to joining.

I'm not the most knowledgable in this area so I could be wrong, but I think the above is accurate.

Same, it's hard to think up a minute and a half on all the topics, I think that as long as it lasts 2 minutes all together it'll be fine

When I did on pre-selection all I did was slow it down a bit, when your nervous some people naturally talk faster so if you just relax and slow yourself down you will be champion.
