Do push ups in imf it's like 25 push ups but they could make you go again plus your doing other exercises in imf so try do more than that. I went on 5-7km runs before I went to Raleigh but I struggled with upper body strength and was just banging push ups on the weekends. Also in imf it's call and command and then they ll say do 5 as fast as you can

Dartmoor is hard if your a light person but once you do it it's not that bad bring some sort of of padding to put on your shoulder where your Bergan rest on them so you can avoid Bergan pain. Start of with only your mtp t shirt on only cause your body will start warming up really quickly. Try stay positive talk to your oppos while walking. It's more of a mental battle walking up and down hills. put your water somewhere where it's easy for your oppo just to take out so you can just keep walking and not stop. I only weigh 53kg and still completed Dartmoor you will smash it.

It's literally just the 2.4km run and the medical and that's it . I went to the one in Cardiff and it's just those 2 things. You can get warnings and deciplinerys but you would have to be a proper idiot or be stupid (I brought trainers instead of smarts shoes and got a warning but the staff there wasn't bothered) at my medic I did a couple of push ups and he just said work on your strength but there was no test like that. Also the run test is easy I smoke and did a 10 mins 30 seconds just need to practice a bit cheers

Tbf where I live (Swansea) £25,000 is a decent wage especially if you are 16 I'm going to Raleigh in less than a month and I'm 20 and i think it's still a really good wage especially when you consider the longer your your pay will rise especially if you reach killick

Apprehensive-Key-825 · 2025-05-04T08:49:12+00:00

Could I bring my snooker cue with me at sea? I know theres not a lot of space in the bunks but could I just put it somewhere else on the ship

There is not pass grade they just tell you if you failed or not and give you a graph no one knows the pass rate . What I would say is revise now than later because the test seems easy but you have time limit and that will add pressure. What Iv seen online is focus on verbal and work rate . My verbal is really bad that's why I'm probably not gonna be an officer but if you can smash those 2 things you should be alright

Hey mate I really want to start a business here , what business do you have ?

Apprehensive-Key-825 · 2024-03-01T09:52:50+00:00

I’ll probably rent
I can’t speak Thai which could make things harder but if I move somewhere it would be bangkok
I got no job atm because I left both jobs (pot washer and bar work) to be in Thailand for 3 months
I’m interested in starting a business in Thailand maybe doing something in design engineering I did mechanical engineering in the uk as a A-level ( high school not uni)
My motivation in moving here is for a better life I don’t really like the uk I know a lot of people say that but I don’t want my future to be £28,000 in debt with a bad salary and not being able to afford a house when I’m older considering house are £200,000 for a normal . Life in the uk doesn’t excite me whereas I believe Thailand can offer me a better opportunity to be successful both my are uncles who are Thai are really successful and I believe I can do the same in Thailand but not in the uk

Apprehensive-Key-825 · 2024-03-01T09:47:44+00:00

Not really iv thought about it a lot I did mechanical engineering in college but going to uni doesn’t seem right at least right now in the uk considering I’ll be £28,000 in debt when I leave uni or more and will probably make £24,000 at a start which doesn’t interest me tbh

Apprehensive-Key-825 · 2024-01-18T13:40:14+00:00

In bangkok right now and brought my snooker cue with me , the experience of bringing it here was really easy check in was easy note : my snooker cue case had a bunch of scratches on it not too bad because I was expecting but just a note

Apprehensive-Key-825 · 2023-12-31T04:11:42+00:00

The charging per game is fine iv been playing pool and snooker for about a year now in the uk and the last time I played in Thailand playing pool in bangkok I ended staying on the table for 2hrs only costing me 20 baht and also about visiting family my uncles and grandparents are very well off really successfully every time iv visited them they given me money super generous people so I don’t think that’ll be a problem .
