    The 1st part is the bleep test then the sit ups & push ups, if you fail 1 part of that you have to repeat all 3 parts next time. If you pass the obstacle course & push pull machine you don’t have to repeat that.

    Thanks very much

    Just wondering how long it took to have a meeting with the sergeant/super after completing physical & medical????? Does it differ for everyone-depending on how your vetting is going? Thanks.

    Do you ever have anything constructive to say or are you just really bored?

    Hi, still waiting to hear back from my vetting but I'm hoping to do my fitness/medical in the coming months. They told me on the phone that all going well the vetting should be done for the December intake. Nervous for the fitness though, can anyone recommend a personal trainer that has some experience with training lads for the fitness test? I'm fit enough, there or thereabouts, but I'm struggling to get much better than 32 sit ups in a minute and was looking at getting a personal trainer to take me to the next level.

    Honestly you don’t need a personal trainer, keep practicing between now & your test date, (which you normally get 2 weeks notice) & you’ll be flying! I was a bit like that & struggling with them but I got there in the end & the trainer on the day will help you.

    Thanks. Any tips/advice for the training? I've been going to the gym and using the freeletics app. I downloaded a beep test app too but couldn't get it to work so I've just been out running.

    I downloaded a Beep test app(green) & used it, there’s plenty out there, measure out 20m & keep practicing!! Get someone to hold your feet or stick them under something & keep doing those sit ups. Don’t over think it, if you put in the work it will pay off. If you practice between now & when you get your date you’ll smash it!!!!!

    Just go for it... Smash the course out of it so you only need the 22.5kg on push pull after you finish the course pretend to tie your shoes and get a little few seconds for a rest to catch your breath and then go into and litterly put your whole body into it! What you get the last time?

    Just a quick question to anyone who completed their medical and was asked for further information. How long did it take for the cmo to come back to you? A friend did medical in March, was asked for further info, which was sent back immediately and hasn't heard a thing since.

    Do the pushups need to be done consecutively or can you basically take a break in between if you can't do the required amount in a row?

    You can do them in your own time,you can take a break with your arms outstretched but best advice to keep going get them done quickly!
