    Thanks RedPool! I just got the call. Wasn't on the reserve list and definitely wasn't expecting it to come today. What a great way to start the weekend! Hopefully there will be as many boardies on this intake as there was on the last intake!

    Thanks for all your help Maj. As i've said before, you've been an amazing source of knowledge for all of us! I think it's safe to say that a few of us owe you a beer :D

    Lol me too although I've focused more on cardio lately and starting to think I should've started a bit of strength training earlier. Just doing the usual press ups, squats etc at the minute. Hoping not to be seen as 'weak' when the GV training starts! I haven't received mine yet but hoping it'll be there when I get home tonight/tomorrow at latest!

    To be honest, i'm trying to get into the swing of things again also. Some cardio and strength training. Just trying to increase my sprint time and lift weights until defeat. I know it'll come in handy when we get into GV.

    I've received nothing yet either, hopefully should be by the end of the week when we get the post!

    I thought packs usually came out quite quick, I think some got theirs the next day in the last set of calls, hopefully tomorrow then. As for training I've been slacking too, 2 light runs a week and 4 days of weights not having pushed too hard with either. Going to ease my way up to doing another set of sprint training and some tabata training as well. Had a full week without training there and fitness has definitely suffered from that but time enough to get fitter.

    Hey, really unexpected but I just got the call for a January start! Been lurking awhile but made my first post up a couple of days ago. The board is clearly a good luck charm.

    So delighted!!

    I'm now wondering if I should do the IST of the new campaign anyway. It's been such a long road with goal posts shifting all the time that until I'm physically walking into garnerville on my start date I'm still in the back if my head doubting it. Haha.

    I would do the induction day and then withdraw from the new campaign.  If the IST is before induction, it would do no harm to do it.

    Hey, can someone tell me or pm me what documents I need for induction? I haven't got my welcome pack yet and so don't have the info but the day is not that far away so don't want to be scrambling if there is something I don't have handy and need to send for etc.

    Cheers.
