 Posted: 23:11 - 10 Jan 2008  Post subject: British Army recruit selection next week!! **UPDATED** |
 |
|
Picked up my MOD rail warrant today ready for recruit selection next week (15th/16th) with a bit of luck and confidence I'll pass and soon be on my way to a career with our finest!!
Dunno when I'll start phase one yet, they reckon maybe April when the new intake year starts, could be sooner tho if someone drops out.
Wish me luck!! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

From your secret santa
Can I ask what is involved? Just wondering... |
Hahaha brilliant I was wondering who it was Thanks for the pressie, its plugged into the playstation 2
First day is a medical and a few briefs from various people, then in the evening a bit of PT in the gym, team games, that sort of stuff.
Day 2 is the 1.5 mile run which I need to do in sub 10 mins 30, then fitness tests, push ups, pull ups that sort of stuff. Static lifts. Then its leaderless team tasks like Stinkwheel said, where you get some 'tools' and a task such as get the barrel over the wall but you catch touch the wall or the floor around the wall, heres 2 planks of wood. Get to it. Then you have a final interview with an officer where they offer you a job, or differ you for a period of time to improve something like fitness, or its a plan fail, dont come back.
After that you get a week or two to decide if you want it then you go back to the careers office take the oath of allegiance in front of the queen (well a picture of her lol) and sign your life away. Then you get given a date and place to be to start phase one training.
I'll be doing selection at ATR Pirbright and phase one at ATR Winchester

Well done you.
word of advice, never let a young lady ask you to choose between career and her, obviously if you are a young lady then never let a young man etc, you know what I mean 
The amount of young people I have seen who have caved into to relationship over army etc and regret it makes me sad.
My friends daughter has made a blinding career out of the army and my daughter is doing very well in the RAF.

You have to run (well, jog) the mile and a half out in exactly 13 minutes alongside an instructor then immediately turn round and do your best time back. It's the return time that has to be under 10.30.
That is regarded as a minimum standard. What they are actually looking for is you putting in best effort. Someone who comes in in 10.20 and looks like they are going to either collapse, spew or both would be better regarded than someone who breezes in at 9.30 looking fresh as a daisy. They are looking for 'best effort' during selection.
I don't know if they'll give you a combat fitness test too. If you're fairly short, I've seen a few people fail because they couldn't get in the back of the lorry. Remember you don't have to climb in wearing your berghen, you just have to finish with both you and the berghen in the back. Undo a strap, keep hold of the strap and stand on the berghen to help you up, then pull it in after you.
If you are comfortably on target, encouraging people along who look like they are struggling is bound to be worth brownie points.

Your going to have fun at pirbright, the assault course is huge. Not long ago done my officer selection briefing and it was hard work.
If my brother can pass selection i reckon anyone can and he did so there you go,

RMP? Never fancied it myself but I suppose you never know what your really getting into when you sign up no matter what area you go into.
Well done, I'm sure you knew you'd breeze it before you went.

Good work
My old school buddy (*and later college drinking and general twating about buddy) flew out to wherever there sending him for training last week, he had to do the running about with a small goats worth of weight in the bag business..
Incidentally it took a LONG time before he got from selecting to being bundled in a plane to far away land for running about in a different climate so worth bearing in mind (although I'm sure it not the same deal everywhere)
Good luck
