    Ah its not too bad lads. I was there with rockagusroll, medical takes ages tho but the Navy guys were a good laugh in the waiting room. The run is fine too, im out of training with about 6 months and i was the third back on the run and the other guys were right behind me. The guy who brings ye for the run is a bit nuts tho! You have been warned :p
    Btw which one were you rockagusroll?

    I'm a bit worried about my run,have my test next week and only ran the distance today in exactly 11 minutes which is not flattering by any means,and does not leave much room for error. I think though I might be taking it too easy at the start and wasting time and then start to panic when I look at the distance I have to make up. How long after the push ups and sit ups do you start the run and do you all warm up before this?

    I presume its the same as the army. They do it right after the push ups and sit ups, but do a pretty good warm up before hand.

    Are you running on flat ground or with hills? Don't forget to take that into consideration... By the way, 11 mins is still a pass!

    Thanks for the reply. I did it on a treadmill today in the gym which is worrying because the treadmill seems easier than out on the road. will just have to do it on the road tomorrow and see how I do.
    Ya I know,at least i'm currently passing but ideally I would like to be doing it in about 10mins.
    How achievable would it be to cut my time by a minute in 7 days,would u think?

    Marathon runner once told me to not let the treadmill fool you into thinking your running... Get out on the road instead!

    Find a stretch of road 2.4km long and mark the half way point... Then pace yourself, when you reach half way pick up the pace a bit more and try hold it! Give yourself a rest the day before you go down though, last thing you want to do is overtrain!

    You'll do a quick warmup around the parade square first then you go into the gym for the pushups followed by the sit-ups and then it's straight out for the run. It's flat enough so just worry about pacing yourself and you'll be grand, as said above, 11 mins is still a pass! Best of luck :)

    I done my run this morning 1.5miles in 11mins and 30 sec. Not bad for my first run. But still not good enough. I dif could of done better I could of push myself more. Ill go for another run tomorrow after work and hopefully there will be an improvement.

    Another thing regarding the LA 89 certificate that they want from you if you were in the reserve or PDF. Iv just found What I thought was my la 89 cert. But it doesnt say la89 cert on it. It just says Certicate of discharge and in it is my serving number, name, address, the amount of days effective service, start date, finish date and reason for discharge......etc

    Anyone know if this the La 89 Cert or if I can just bring this instead??

    Cheers in advance.

    Haven't heard anything yet but i think by talking to the navy guys last week that it was only last week and this for the medicals. He said roughly a hundred were being called down and there is a class of 40 being taken on in April.

    Relax dude, its a pretty chilled interview. If you turned up in a suit you'd just look posh mate. Don't even bother with a shirt - just get a t-shirt.

    40 out of 100 people, first impressions count... I'll be sporting a nice pair of slacks and shirt, regardless of how relaxed the interview is!
