went to glencorse in feb, then had another selection at the start of august for the nursing corps.

10 weeks will fly by if you just keep your training up.

When did you go to adsc? what you running your mile and half in?

i was the other way round, my run was quite good and my upper body was crap ha.

the nursing selection was quite hard, we had to research topics to do with health and then choose one to do a debate on infront of 20 people, we had to do a maths and literacy exam, and a test on how much we know about the job, then we had an interview infront of the head of the queen alexandra royal army nursing corps, a major and 2 corporal, was scary lol they only passed 3 of us out of the 20 recruits.

im getting more nervous now as the days go on, and the weather is getting worse :-? its just typical i would have to do my basic n winter :roll: im excited more than anything though.

What made you want to join? how old are you?

They should put Wholley in charge of the Armed Forces literacy programme!
