basicaly, if you sign for 3 years and your infantry training with the recruits course of 2 weeks is complete (equivilant of basic) and you leave say 9 months in, then if things get messy they can pull you back in up untill your 3 years are up under the new training system in theory you would do 3 weekend 2week course and then 5 weekends and your on to your trade training however the likily-hood of them falling in that order and on them weeks is unlikely i think ours went on roughly a 3 month cycle so the fastest it could be done in 3 months, but dont forget that is attending every training sesion possibe and not takinig into acount weekend you cannot do.. when i joined there was 8 of us who was ready inside 3 months me being one of them but my fitness slowed me down and i was under the old training system where you do your first 3 weekend then your 5 then the 2 weeker

yeah you got it, they might not give you a 'personal' work out routine maybe a general one for the fitter guys and galls seriously eat healthy for like 2 weeks nothing else and you will be ably to tell the difference.. you will pass... there was guys there when i did mine less than 20 for situps and pressups combined and 19 minutes ws the slowest pass.. the pti at the finnish line when we was streatching said (jordie acccent ) f***in ell i can walk it faster than that...so off we set back to the start and we got there faster than the slowest guy ran it in:d, you have an interview with an officer aswell... just dont say '' and what as made you want to join the TA" well sir i want to go kill some f**in ragheads .... he didnt last long:(

as the saying goes... with the sergeant majors (rsm) arm around my head on my shoulder and the other hand pointing at the main gate: The hardest thing you will do son is walk through that gate, i takes a special person to do that, an you have already done it. That to me shows you have what it takes i think thats what made me prove to every one i could do it, and hooking up with the hottest new recruit there just pissed on everyone else's bonfire:D

right at the start thefirst weekend you are shown the standart that is needed most of the slimmer guys was at this standard anyway me at 20 stone was 2 minutes 9 seconds over mile and a half time 14 minutes to begin with... i was a fair few off on my situps but not far on the pressups, i passed the firsts weekend (sort of like selection) from then on i had a training program made up thanks to our sqdn's pti i followed that along with training (believe me when you have you full uniform on + burgan full of gear and your rifle carting it around for i dunno froughtly 10-15 miles over 48 hours you get fit fast and the weight drops off) 4 months later i was at the 10 minute mark on the mile and a half (and actualy enjoyed running:blink:) it wasnt untill we had an intake of new recruits that the co decided it was needed to have fitness training togeather an training nights (the new lot was realy lazy) then it fell every 3rd week for fitness, it was good for us all:) the fitness comes with the training, if your going away alot then you get fit without realising eating healthy is the hardest part:( at my sqdn every 4th weekend was stand down.. no training for any one how un fit are you (if you dont mind me asking).. if you can run for 15 minutes at a steady pace and i think its 50 pressups and situps 2 mins for each then you should be good i was well under that number when i joind one of the reasons i joined wanted encouragement and things to aim for people laughing at me when i stopped running because i couldnt be arsed it all goes to help, less than a moth and i could keep up, about 4 months and i was as fit as the next guy but alot stronger

i dont mean that in a nasty way there are more guys and girls in the TA that have there head screw on than there is not, however when there is 5 or 6 guys that just cant be helped than it make it a whole world harder for every one else

most of the TA (from what i have seen) is run by ex regs trying to teach thick twats that otherwise failed entry to the regs, most of them are compleeeetly useless, the guys that go on a deployment and return change alot a couple of our 'less than ideal' guy that got called up and left(the ta) the day they returned it changed my whole life completely when i joined (i was the type who knew the army was for me but was too fat and lazy to go and grab it) i weight 20 stone when i joined and absolutely loved it i lost 5.5 stone in 4 months and toned up the muscles (have always been big built ) became realy fit, absolutely could not wait for deployment whitch i knew was coming (nov 07) and unfortunately fell into a catch 22 situation at work (civvi) and was made to choose job or TA needless to say i had a flat to pay for and i made the worse decission of my life:( (not to mention the nagging other half) during my time in the TA (18 months) i did all the usual training i got to do some awsome stuff and some stuff that i missed out on, canoeing, parachuting, white water rafting, compitition shooting, i even did an inter regimental rally that i got a medal for:d me and my driver also saw a jeep rollover and the guys just go out and pushed it back onto the wheels using a winch then they just carried on as if its all good, we went on a huge deployment weekend with infantry, tanks the lot and there was 3 squads of sas who bumped us and kept on badgering us:( all night. i got to speak to them later on on the sunday and they was realy sound guys who was flying out to iraq 8 days later:) i was in the RLC then moved in to REME and all we did in the REME was drink... cant remember much else , as soon as i get a propper job i will be going back in, and hopefully getting that tour i joined for in the first place

is it bang up 5000rpm or is it at a boost level.. say 6psi+...if it is boost related its more likely it will be down to the spark, if it is an exactly 5000rpm every time (personaly) i would be looking at the air fuel ratio

does any one here work with liquid co2, sort of drinks machines and the like im looking for a bit of advice and maybe a few parts if you can get your hands on some im trying to souce fittings for a project i have with this sort of style compression fittings ebay linki dont know there name or anything, i need to be able to shift about 1200psi at least to be safe they replaced all the drinks machines at work a few weeks ago and i went in today to borrow;) some bits off it and it was scrapped yesterday:( im looking for some 90 degree bends and threads on one side pressure fittings on the other and a bit of tube, and help appreciated:d

pm'ed:d

just having a clear out, HKS pannel filter, vgc £15 posted USED, Rear j-spec tt pads (1 pot), scrap to me but if you need a set for mockup or to put you on a bit thickness: 4mm, 3.5mm, 5.5mm 5.0mm, just looking for postage before the bin:) NEW: MKIII front pads (stock), im a and listened to some twat against my better judgement that the mkiii and j-spec mkiv have same front calliper:rolleyes: postage was £5 last time so looking for £15:) cheers:)

its a kit made by Asetek, possibly the best at the time of purchase some parts are missing or need replacing whats in the box: *dual fan radiator, and 2 x 120mm fans in as new condition now there clean:d (not even a single bent fin:)) *cpu block for AMD 939 pin processor, i think it fits the 940 (am2) aswell but i cannot find any confirmation *gpu block, it is a universal block and has been fitted to 3 of my cards but i dont know what i will definitely fit *motherboard block aswell *all fittings for the radiator, fans and blocks all parts have compression fittings attached, it is very quick to fit and install, it will need pipes and a pump unfortunately my pump died but these are not expensive there is a salvaged length of pipe in the box but it only for the pipe size and type thats printed onto it ( 6.5mm id 10mm od PU (poly urethane?)) the blocks could do with a good clean before being used again but all can be stripped down this dropped my idle cpu temps (compared to stock H/S/F)by close to 20degC and flat out temps by over 10degC and the grapics card temps by well over 30degC, this will differ from cpu to cpu this cost me over £250 when new looking for £60 posted thanks EDIT: thought there was something missing:) my reservoir its a big thing lol picks to follow, this is probably capable of cooling a reasonable spec pc on its own:d the acrylic disc is 7cm diameter and its 28cm long all that for £60 bargain;)

gutting, feel sorry for you mate but it could have been a whole lot worse. you must have hit at a dodgy angle to do that damage:rolleyes:

cif / jif / if what ever its called now lol, used to be called jif power cleaner used it to de sign a van (i used a heat gun too dont know how important that was but be carefull not to melt the lense or the sealent on the lights;))
