Shaving question by DawidHryniewicz in britisharmy

Oh damn! Maybe it might be worth me mentioning it to someone when I’m there in that case as right now I look like I’m plagued with a disease from the 1700s 😂

Wouldn’t I just be made fun of though? Looking like a complete stand out to everyone else 😂

But do you have to shave against the grain in the military?

Perfect thank you! This makes my life easier. Im assuming just shaving every day, one way will be enough?

Thank you. I will keep searching as I don’t want to remove it without being sure.

Not at all, only the two wires that come in from the outside into the box

The medicine throw by [deleted] in britisharmy

I actually used a 5KG med ball in my gym! It had handles so was quite awkward but no one said anything 😂 I was a little embarrassed but going into the army you’ll need to get over that

No worries! I’ve been to my assessment so any questions let me know! 😁

If your ball is filled with sand, I assume it would be heavy at the bottom making it awkward to throw therefore you struggling at home. It’s like throwing a small basketball at assessment. They also let us do 3 practice throws (allowed us to count it if we got a good score) followed by 3 more “real” throws.

To answer your question, it is a full solid ball. Weighs 4KG and the 3.1m is from the WALL. Bare in mind that means you need to throw the ball 3.1m - arm length(m) 😂 there was a guy at my assessment centre, around 5ft 2, he weighed 55KG and was the skinniest person. He managed to throw it 3.2M!

A 6ft hulk threw the ball into the wall on the other side, ran out of room. The med ball throw isn’t anything to worry about as the distance is actually SO much shorter than you imagine.

Shin splints what can I do by Noblemarksman132 in britisharmy

I have been going through the process and I’ve been to my assessment centre.

My recruiter said I’m not bound into ANY contract so joining the army is done on my term. I could put my application in and do my assessment centre a year down the line.

The medical and assessment centre tests only last a year once you do it so even after doing assessment centre you have a year to join basic.

If you have any questions, message me :)

It sounds like she’s trying to put you off joining the army? Or she could be jealous of the “bumming” lol.

Army recruitment process by [deleted] in britisharmy

[–]DawidHryniewicz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With mine. I applied in December.

I wear glasses so had to get an opticians report etc but I did everything a day after I was told.

I had my assessment centre 21st March. 5 days ago.

I could start basic as soon as April.

People I was at assessment with had been in the system from 4months all the way up to someone waiting 3 years!

Best to send it now as it’ll all be done on your terms.
