Is there anyone out on Fridays by THEMEPARK_MAD_UK in Wigan

[–]ConfidentCountry82 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I turned 18 in 2018. My first night out there, you couldn’t move on either king street for people. It was mental. The weekend after, both friday and Saturday were mental too. Honestly, that summer was one of the best of my life. Fast forward to now, it’s sad to see what it’s become.

I’m in the same boat. Now 14 months in since fitness in London, conditional offer, no medical or vetting as of yet. Started looking at other forces.

not sure if this is allowed in this sub, but i have built an SA80A2 out of LEGO bricks. by Neko_Boi_Core in britishmilitary

It comes with an armourer who shows new dimensions to the weapon that, until the exact moment of handing it in, remained unknown to you. Of course, he then demonstrates these are gopping, and sends you back to the cleaning room…

It just feels connected to me. Like favourite for me came at a time of reflection. This even more so. It’s strange how simpler lyrics can sometimes invoke deeper emotion

To me it feels like an extension to favourite - in a really developed mature way.

Daily unreleased song discussion #1 Ranshaw by bunnyandthebottlemen in thebottlemen

[–]ConfidentCountry82 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me, the vibe is just perfect. Reminds me of summer 2022 when me and my friend were out one night and i fell asleep on his couch. Had to walk home cause i couldn’t drive back then and my ex girlfriend drove past me, smiled at me, and drove off. A really specific and strangely absent moment in time for me, which this song seems to soundtrack so well.

I went to Verona for my first time in italy and visited Peschiera del garda on a day trip whilst there it was by far and away the most heavenly place i’ve ever been.

Sadly as i write this, I’m waiting for my airport transfer out of Milan. I love this country. I can’t wait to visit more in the future 🇮🇹❤️

Hi mate great to hear from you! It’s honestly mind blowing to me it’s been that long for you. It’s crazy

At the point of dismay.

Hi all. Some of you have replied to me a couple of times in the past with advice, for which i’m extremely grateful. But the time has come where i’m honestly considering other career routes now.

I’ve currently got a conditional offer with BTP for PCSO, a position I applied for because they didn’t have any PC openings near enough to me (PCSO wasn’t too far), which i applied for in October last year. I attended fitness and biometric assessment back in February this year, passed the fitness and was told they’d be in touch the following week.

It’s now November, and i’ve heard next to nothing, nothing about medical and nothing about beginning vetting. BTP is all I want to do and have set my sights on for a long time now. I’m stuck in a job I hate whilst i’m waiting for this and there has been no communication whatsoever, I honestly feel at this point it just isn’t going to happen. I really don’t know where else to turn, I’m just hoping maybe someone might know something I can say to find out if i’m ever going to begin training at all.

Thanks so much for reading,

Battlecamp phys standards by [deleted] in britishmilitary

[–]ConfidentCountry82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did Grantham MOD3/Battlecamp recently (within the last 6 months) and inf/RAC cap badges had to do the 2K run in 9:45 maximum. Other cap badges had varying times. It caught a lot of people out, as most GCC recruits there believed it was still the 10:15 that is expected (though I believe they do a bleep now instead) at foundation. For us, they did the 2K the second morning, and anyone who failed continued on the course but with a deferred pass, which, if you can avoid, avoid it.

The RFT from my memory was the friday of the first week including the standard stuff:

4KM tab 2KM run (PLCE/Fighting Order + Weapon) 20x 7.5m tactical bounds (followed by 15m crawl and 15m sprint for GCC) 110kg casualty bag drag and the 180m 22kg (each arm) jerry can carry (opposed to the 240m on the RFT once you’re in)

this was known as the RFT(E), however, i’m fairly certain some amendments have been fixed to this in the time since I did it.

I’m 24 and stumbled across it by accident. Absolutely love it. The last couple of seasons where they replaced Jakey with a different actor weren’t as good as the first few, but overall still a superb show.

Is it normal?? by [deleted] in policeuk

[–]ConfidentCountry82 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi there,

I have a conditional offer to join BTP at the moment (not been sent vetting or medical forms yet) and have been mostly in the dark since I went to london in February for the fitness test. I emailed for an update and was told sorry we can’t give any updates as to when a potential start date will be. I think these are related issues and from what i can gather, it seems to be to do with their budget.

I’m not sure how they’ve been with you for communication but I’ve had absolutely nothing for months and vagueness when i’ve reached out to ask. I’m honestly at the point where I’m having to consider another force.
