    can u give me any advice on what to bring to garnerville ?

    If you mean intake day - see Carlty's reply above :)

    If you mean the SID. Just bring plenty of water, all the forms and documents it asks for - completed (because believe me you'll not have time to do it there) and a pen.

    Dear bet0409's Drill Instructor,

    Please take a picture of the split-second that grin turns into a grimace. You know the one. ;)

    We didn't actually get asked for any at the SID.

    I think I can remember someone on here saying about having spent about £75 to get certificates reissued! :eek:

    Your first 4 weeks will be residential Monday to Friday (ie. You go home at weekends). After that, you will can go home in the evenings as long as you live within 35 miles of Garnerville.

    Try being stuck in a lift with the guy. He sings to himself (loudly!) and tells jokes that were old when my Gran was a todler.

    Longest two minutes of my life. :eek:
