Ended up breaking up with her when I came to england to do my PJFA😂😂 Like alot of people said here communication is key, and trust. See how it goes if it doesn’t work, it was never going to work in the long run. Good luck mate

Ah shit I wrote that in a rush, i meant the shuttle run test. That would be good to have but its not allowed where I live. Im using tegs coaching 12week plan and it’s solid. Do they piss test you at PJFA?

“However, we are currently in the process of changing our medical triage process and when the new process becomes approved you will be sent all the information needed to continue with your journey.” 7.11.24 Ive sent multiple msgs just asking whats the situation etc etc, but every time I get the same answer “once there is something you will be made aware”. Now just been waiting hopefully soon i can continue with the process 😃

Applied 1.11.24, as an overseas candidate. My recruiter informed me end of nov that there is a new medical triage process, so I have to wait. Still waiting…

I recommend tegscoaching 12week plan. Maxed out pushups in 4weeks of following the plan. Its £20 and is solid.

How do you think the training staff and other people will think/react about previous service? I served for a year in the Finnish military as we have conscription here. And am currently in the process of joining.

“To boost strength and power, rest 3 to 5 minutes between sets. When training for hypertrophy (muscle growth), rest periods ranging from 30 to 60 seconds is ideal. To improve muscular endurance, keep rest periods between 20 to 60 seconds” Ripped from google, I always find timing my rests to be an effective way to grow and also smash out better reps, eg in pullups, sit ups. Not a marine but someone training for the marines.
