[young_fishin_neep]

it is good, and the banter makes it the best, everyone fully enjoys doing it because we all have a laugh and sgt and sir wont expect us to do anything that they wouldnt do so thy get involved, take today with circuit training, we were in teams and we have to do certain tthings at each bench and the first team to finish won, and sgt was in one of the teams to make up numbers and he aint exactly a small guy, well he tried to cheat and sir sent him back to do it all again, it was pritty funny watching a large sgt skipping through a hula hoop

there is 25 on this course, age ranges from 16 to 24 the age limit on the course is 16-28, not all of us want to join army, there are people in who want to join RAF and Navy too

Sounds ace! Everyone get's a chance eh;) A real sense of doing something worthwhile. Keep me up to date with it lol

[young_fishin_neep]

It really is, im so glad i made the desicion to do it, i have even booked myself onto a 7 week army summer camp that starts a day after this course finishes, wich is more fitness and adventure training, i cant wait, and hopefully me doing all this will greater improve my chances to get in the army, we were told that if we wernt ont he course we would only have a out of 25 of us we would only have a 10% chance of getting in, now we doing this course we have a 30% chance. the summer camp will increase my chances even more :)

But enjoy it while you can.....
And milk the tiredness,...
it only lasts so long before they cotton on!!!

[Tugmistress]

haha i certainly cottoned on to the tiredness before she got home! at least i picked her up from the train station, it'll be good training for her when the weather is better to walk back lol

yes i'm a cruel heartless mother ;)

[young_fishin_neep]

when the weather is nice and im not to tierd i wont mind walking home, i'll think 'hmmmm a measley 3 mile walk, i can do that no bother :D' just gotta wait a few weeks for that yet

xxxx

xxxx

[cuddlepop]

Glad you enjoyed yourself and are still as keen to join up.

Well done you, and Tuggs I bet is as pround as punch.:D

[crayola]

Hey neep, when do you get to shoot at something? :)

[young_fishin_neep]

Not sure when we get to do some shooting but i can't wait, i always enjoyed shooting at cadets.

xx

[davie]

Now neep its 2009 and shooting at Cadets is strictly forbidden. You can however shoot at targets, wifies on motorbikes, weather stations in the garden, and probably the enemy, although that may infringe their uman rites so be careful out there.

[young_fishin_neep]

What about wifies in big vauxhall fronteras?

xx

[changilass]

Not wise idea to shoot at weather station, you mum would do you a serious injury lol

[young_fishin_neep]

i bet i could make the windy thing go round even faster though :)

xx

[changilass]

he he Neep, will keep an eye out for any major gusts

[ShelleyCowie]

I was in Army Cadets for a few years. Was part of the shooting team and was in champion team of the whole ACF at Cameron Barracks. Love shooting! :) Everything about weapons i loved!

I hated night exercises though! Night time is for sleeping not walking around! [lol]

[Kevin Milkins]

I have just been on a website called talibanafghanistan.org and the word is out over there that the army is training the ultimate attack weapon called "The young fishing neep"

They are scared,very very scared.;)

Good luck with your training neep.

[young_fishin_neep]

lmao kevin, im usualy a danger to myself let alone anyone else

xxx

[golach]

Neep, hope they teach you how to know your way around Railway Stations, and how to get on the right trains [lol]

[Mik.M.]

Well Done Neep,keep up the good work. ps when is spelling on the agenda?:lol: Mik. XX

[highlander]

When our son was on his army training, we laughed when he said he was going to be doing live training exercise, when we asked how he did, he was most upset as they thought they were going to be throwing grenades, instead they were given stones to throw and shout "BOOM" when it landed. lol

[young_fishin_neep]

Neep, hope they teach you how to know your way around Railway Stations, and how to get on the right trains

LOL! well i wil be learning map reading, thats the best i can get, guess i will just have to stick to learning from my mistakes and dont ask the blonde person again!!

Its the same on this course, well actually suposedly we going to be throwing a little toy hippo. Also down at RSC they used stones or something or equivalent size, shapes and weights

xxxx

[sweetpea]

I don't think it matters if it's a stone or a cuddly toy, the principals is what they are trying to teach you and can be applied to several things..

[highlander]

Totally agree sweetpea, they have to walk before they run, glad to say he enjoyed the experience so much he has been in for 12 years now
