What's new since you got back to work?

[cobbydale]

this might not make sense. i pulled a really heavy transformer out the back of a cherry picker and the other end which had a plug on smacked me square in the chops (tooth went straight through the lip) .
i have a new fat lip for 2007.

ps one of our apprentices said i looked hard though, it did nothing for the pain.

What's work?

training in your case?

[Fleeter]

I was in the Army for 4 years and remember the hell of 6 months infantry training (which is apparently lame compared to Marine training ). Hope you are enjoying it- I'd imagine your running fitness gives you a big advantage on the tabs.

what regiment where you in pav?

what regiment where you in pav?

1st Battalion Princess Of Wales Royal Regiment (long winded version).
Know all about Comando training as best friend was in about 9 years ago. The training sounds fairly extreme compared to the army. Not sure I would have had the upper body strength for all of that rope work! Do they still do the 30 miler at the end of the course?

yep the final test week is
12 mile load carry (70 pounds of equipment)
9 Mile Speed March (32 pounds)
Tarzan Assault Course (32 Pounds)
Endurance Course (32 Pounds)
30 Mile Yomp (32 Pounds)

Only 20 Weeks Off

All good fun, Fleeter. I'm sure it won't be a problem for you with your fell running legs. Look forward to the helicopter crash landing day if they are still doing that. Brings back nightmares for me... Don't forget to hold your breath
