Fastrack Basic course

Post by Boxingmad »

Does anyone know what the 2 week fastrack course for the TA infantry is like? I've been made aware that this replaces the weekends one does in recruit training and just wanted to know if anyone's done it?

BTW, will reserveforces.co.uk ever be back up?

hi, i didn't do the fast track, but my mate did, he said its basicly just all the weekends done in one go. It is by far the best way of doing the training. I think its a bit more intence *spelling* than the weekends as they are not restricted by time.

Is there any more information on this? I've never heard of a fastrack course.

Is it only open to certain inf regiments?

Don't know if any other regiments do it, this is the only one as far as I know, which is why I asked.

The fastrack course isn't mentioned, though.

it may just be an infantry thing but i'm not sure.
you should go to your local TA centre and ask them.
