It's not just me, then ?

Those rooms do look bloody cushty !

Bloody hell mate, the rooms look quite nice, actually. Carpeted floor must be so much easier to clean than uncarpeted - they'd have you polishing them every night and everything.I assume there are hoovers in the block ? It looks like your bedspace is quite personal - not what i expected at all. I th...

Alright mate. Well done to you on the CS thing. I've 'tasted' pepper spray once before, i can only say that it was a harrowing experience. Something i never thought i'd go through again, but hey ho ! As for the shoes, no, i'm going to leave 'em here - they are the correct type but i don't think it's...

Sorry mate, been away for the weekend on my works Xmas do / leaving piss up. I'm in Warminster mate, about 45 miles south of you.The surname's Watts. Smart move there, teaching your kid sister a life-enhancing skill ;) Would i get away with smuggling in my already bulled service shoes ? ;) Also mate...

Nice one Alex, perfect. I'll be up there in Jan. myself - what are the chances of us bumping into each other, seeing as i'll be on the newbie flight ? Also - where in Wilts. are you mate ? Thanks for the padlock replay and the heads up in here - i hope to hear more from you soon. Good luck for this ...

Hi moneypenny.

That's great news - well done.

I'm going through it all in January, so if you have any pearls of wisdom about RTS you'd like to share with me over the next few weeks, i'm all eyes and ears

I'd really appreciate it.

I don't know why the people behind this forum bother to keep it going. You can leave this place for days, come back and find that nobody has replied to any of the threads, let alone the inane one's like this. I'm banking on Alex_Himself to answer this question when he comes back on Xmas leave, he'l...

Gee, thanks Brian.

Oh and M!ke, thanks - i'll see you 'over there' bud.

ANYONE ?

A stupid one, at that. PADLOCKS ! It states on my kit list i should bring "4x Padlock & Keys (medium sized - including spare keys - not 'snaplocking')" I understand this perfectly but i've read in one thread by one user on another forum that when he went to Halton, they weren't too fus...

Really ?

The literature i have states that it's the OACTU Mess for the first ten weeks whilst doing the NCAITC Course, then into the Sgt's mess for the 26 week WSOp course. ???

Ugh....


*repulsed*

Why can't you access TSR at work ?

It's all good, clean fun over there

Cheers Gemma & TJD. I got an answer for this over at TSR - but if anyone else has any more info for me it would still be very useful and appreciated. I don't believe i have to worry about mess bills & charidees just yet though, not at Halton at least - probably not until i get to the Sgt's M...
