Just done the last course (3-15 June).
Good course, things that will help you get the most from the course is as ironrations mentioned. Ensure that your webbing fits and is as comfortable as it can be. 24hrs of rations, 2 X Waterbottles and as much ammunition as you can fit in the rest is the packing list. Ensure you have a good patrol sack. In mine all I had was tams, a camelback, mossie rep and 800 rounds of link.
As for training ensure that you are battle fit and used to carrying same weight as the kit above, aswell as your helmet and ecba of course. Plus the weight of a GPMG if you are likely to be a gunner. That is generally the heaviest load, however commanders will carry rifle/lsw dependant on numbers, 351, CWS, Binos and other command kit. So everyone is carrying a reasonable amount, so train for the worst case. I tabbed about with a cut down scaffolding pole filled with concrete before the course, as having weight in your hands makes quite a difference as I am sure you are aware. Ensure you conduct some hill training!!!!!
As for other training, ensure that your weapon handling and map reading are up to speed. Ensure that you are happy with sect battle drills, you will be reminded but it will help if you have them squared away.
The main thing as will all courses is keep a sense of humour!!!! It gets harder as the course progresses, just try to keep smiling and you will see your drills improve tenfold and be somewhere around where they should be. I thought mine were ok, nope they were arse at the start!!! But by the end of it they were up to standard brought out by the excellent instructors.
All in all as mentioned it is a good course, well paced and you are treated as adults. It is hard at times but worthwhile especially if when you return to your unit you pass on the skills as taught and help guys when out on ops.
To quote the CSM "If in doubt; Lash Out!!!" or one of his more priceless quotes "Are we Jet Pilots or Astronauts?" ???????
