    Starting next Monday, just wondering if we need the suit for the first week or is it a tracksuit job? Also what's the story with parking down there?

    What? Are there retests? What happens if you fail? Mate of mine is going down but he has let himself go since the first test.

    It will be during the first few weeks after induction week could be week 1 could be week 4 can't be sure when they will have you do it.
    If you fail it you have to pass it by week 8 or you get reverted to a phase behind you but you will get a total of 3 opportunities before week 8.
