Regulars

Hi, As someone who's been a bit of a couch potato of late, I decided to get started on the fitness (I haven't completed my application form yet so I'm planning ahead a bit). Thing is, I'm struggling to make headway on the cardio side and had a bad workout this morning. The trainer at the gym gave me the following programme:- Warm up: 5 mins rowing on resistance 3-5 Strength: 3 sets of 10 reps on the chest press, same on the low back, starting at 10kg - I've increased this slightly each time and today did 1st set at 10kg, next 2 sets at 12.5kg (on Friday I'll do all 3 at 12.5kg, then on Monday up to 15kg on 3rd set, etc) 3 sets of 10 walking lunges using 6kg weigh…

Hello, I have lost the form that told me where to go for my uniform fiiting which is tomorrow at 8.30. I think its at the Openshaw Complex but if anyone can confirm this or correct me I would appreciate it. Thanks Will

The nail bitting has begun in ernest......for so long it's seemed like a unlikly dream due to the length of the recruitment process, now it's here the nerves are warming up . Didn't think I'd be too concerned as I've been through this kind of thing before joining the R.a.f, guess it's natural. Is anyone else here kicking off on Monday?

Hi ive been looking through the forums trying to find out if there is any physical training you have to do during training but to no avail. Just wondering if anyone could answer this for me, and give examples of the types of training you have to do e.g, runs, circuits (if any). Cheers Adam

Ive got a few things bothering me can anyone help??? the 4 questions in the interview about situations from my past, are they the same as the ones that i wrote in my application form? I am I being really stupid because Im having difficulty knowing how to go about answering a question when I dont know what the question is!!!! in one part of the pack it states that there are 7 competancies and you are assessed on each 3 times (except RRD - every time) but then a couple of pages along it states there are 5 competancies??

YaaaaaYYYYYY Got results from A/C on thursday...passed with 66% 100% for communication,written and verbal woohooooooooooooooo

Hi I am setting off on the long road of re applying after only getting 58% at my AC 13 months ago. I thought I had done well but consistently failed to meet the standards on effective communication during all four role plays, although orally I got 100%.The AC didn’t give me any feedback on improvement. Any tips this time round, as I don’t want that empty feeling again after working so hard. Some advice on problem solving would also be great. Many Thanks Paul
