What kind of fitness level should be expected in the first weeks, do they build you up or what's the story. I do nightshifts and have barely trained since I started it . But if I get a pass email I'm jacking up this job and gonna train like ****. Would 3 weeks be enough. This would be more Less be me starting my fitness from scratch

I'd say you need to get things in order before that. Three weeks' training, essentially from scratch, and you're seriously increasing your chances of being injured or just caving in in the first few weeks. It's all well and good to work nights but you still have to get your training in or you're going to be in real trouble.

Best of luck to the lads starting tomorrow

Hi folks,

Did my medical 5th June at St Bricin's and still got no word. I've emailed with no response and I'm a bit worried because they said it would only be a couple of weeks until results where back.
Was wondering if there's anyone here that did theirs the same day as me and if so, have you got a response yet?

Cheers

In my platoon it was maybe 21 to 23.

I asked this on another forum about people entering general service with a degree. How many of you starting recruit training in the next few weeks have third level degrees?
I have a law degree myself and I'm on a panel for the navy 2016.
