    How come, what seemed the most daunting? Do they just show you round the obstacles?

    When your vertically challenged the wall is very daunting. It’s much tougher than expected. The drag bag is 39kg etc. Adrenaline makes everything tougher I found. My heart rate was 97 just sitting in the car park lol!

    I totally agree. I think to be honest the obstacles in themselves are not so bad but the pressure of the time is going to be a big factor and totally will play on the mind throughout the course. Its going to be my biggest challenge i think.

    For those who are in the know at this stage, can anyone give me an approximate idea between receiving a PCA date and subsequently a medical date? It’s that time of year when annual leave, holidays etc tick over so a potential minefield around hypothetical dates for certain scenarios. Throw a planner laser eye treatment into the mix too and it’s all threatening to get a little busy.

    Not as yet no. Just trying to plan ahead. Which is virtually impossible.

    Anyone delete any of their social networks before they had vetting?

    Would that look too suspicious? lol

    I have a twitter account which I tried to delete 3 years ago to start a new one. Ended up digging myself into a hole regarding emails and passwords and locked myself out before it had confirmed deletion. Nothing has been posted on it since summer 2016 but If searched can still be found. I now use a new Twitter username.

    Should I just declare the new Twitter on the vetting forms?
