    Just wait until you see how much uniform you get. You could wear something new everyday.

    Hi PCI,
    Is there any dress code for after class or is it quite relaxed?
    If your allowed to pop home on an evening in the first 4 weeks do you have a curfew or is it just back in for start of class next day?
    1 more question if i may...... is it a heavy workload on an evening and for your weekends????????

    Nope its very relaxed, trackies or jeans.
    Not sure I should mention what time the gates close but yes there is a curfew but you could come back in the morning as well.
    Yes prepare to work at evenings and weekends, the exams are mental.

    PE staff are amazing.

    PE sessions are really tough but they are great, really gets you started in the right direction.

    You are expected to have a certain level of fitness coming in. If you can't keep up or do any session they will notice and you don't want to go down that road.

    I have my final PCA next week, bricking it.

    Good luck for that missy.


    Do the PE staff help you though to get on the right track? What is a typical PE session like?

    Yeah they give you programme to help you along. But its all about personal responsbility. You hear that a lot in GV.

    Not sure if I should mention exactly what goes on. There are circuits, hill sprints, weight training and of course the dreaded 5K.

    If I can haul my ass round the 5k within 35 minutes, then it's certainly managable.

    You make it sound like a prison. Your first impressions weren't that bad, where they?!

    I'm loving every single minute of it. Being in a good squad certainly helps.

    Did you guys get told what colour you'll be?

    Ahh. The passing out parade. There's still a few hurdles to get past before any of us can really get excited about that. Almost there though! :D
