Hopefully i'll pass first time and if so will be starting basic in Catterick January time for 2 R Anglian, The Poachers.

I don't think i will be going on an insight, i just want to get in there asap!

I havn;t even got my medical back from the docs because he filled it in wrong

I have applied twice before, once to the reg army for inf which lasted 5 months because my doctor is a bellend, and once to the TA, did my medical and started basic but dropped out to go for regs again, probs with brid contributed to it all.

So here i am, starting from scratch and still, my doctor hasn't filled the form in correctly again!

My recruiter said he is going to get me into one of the next four selection dates so i should be getting sorted soon.

Hopefully

Ive been training for less than 3 weeks but i was fairly fit anyway, my 1.5 mile time is shite because i have just been sat behind a college desk for ages and doing nothing, yet my upper and middle body strength has always been alright:

Pull-ups = 20 palms facing face, 17 facing forward.
Press-ups= 50-70 tends to vary depending on when i last did them.
Sit-ups=70

I can't be arsed to do a 3 mile yet but i guess it will be just as shit as my 1.5 miler!

I went in for my first meeting type thing yesterday, got the booklets for what I'm hoping to go into and some other information booklets.. Got told if I'm successful in my application there's a 30% chance my first posting could be Germany, anyone else been told that??

Do you want to be based in Germany? I have a girlfriend here so it would be difficult for me to, but i guess you just get told to do it, and do it!

Im at the medical questionaire stage, they are retreiving my medical forms from the TA and my recruiter is on leave at the moment.

I wanted to get in before i was 18 but i left it too long, i have to resist getting smashed and keeping up with my training because im tapering off what with it being cold outside

How old are you guys?
