[OracleInaCoracle]

woo hoo, another step closer!

Great news.

thanks, im so proud of him!

fab news - has he got a likely date yet?

the only date mentioned thus far is 11th nov, but he is personnel support which is being fast tracked!

great news.

thanks all, physical is on monday (which should be fine) next step final interview!

11th November is the day my little brother will pass out of the Royal Navy.

The physical is fun. Turn your head and cough.

Hope he gets on well with the rest of the it. I'm sure he will.

isn't the physical the bleep test etc? i think he's already 'coughed' at the medical lol...

i was commissioned on 7th November lol - it always makes me laugh that i can't remember when i joined...

ooo, big adventures ahead for all of you!

Ah yes my mistake, physical is mile and half or bleep test. (I threw up all over the MOST gorgeous gym instructor when I did mine for the Navy). Passed though .

tis all done at the local gym these days
no throwing up over uniformed types until you get in the door

lol, am v jealous of him. he has a 3 day pass to the local gym. i wanna go!!!

It was the first and last time I vomited in my entire Naval career. Not even a bout of sea sickness. Hardy Sailor type me!

lissie - I'm jealous too, I didn't get a 3 day pass, I got half an hour! But if you move to a MQ by his base you should be able to use their gym for free. Not sure about RAF rules so I might be wrong.

nah. usually the same. you'll have to attend a familiarisation class and probably pay £5 for your gym pass though. (obviously laminating is quite pricey...)

woo hoo, passed his physical today!! only the final interview to go!

Woo hoo.

When is the interview?

Good luck!

we dont know yet, waiting for the recruiting officer to call him. references have all gone back, sooooo....

well, spoken to the recruiting officer and he goes in sept for an over-night stay then official start date is 11/02/10. woo hoo!!!

well done dh! have fun, work hard. (what a long time to wait, though...)

Just seen this.

Congratulations!

The fun starts now .

thank you. we are all v excited about it! new life.

Lissie, DH is RAF personnel training, we are near telford, happy to let you into gym!
