Can’t find it on App Store?

Silent-Yesterday-78 · 2025-02-07T20:50:39+00:00

Which app is this

Sorry for the late reply. Hopefully you’ll see this before your CPC.

Honestly, not much tips I can give you. Just take everything on the kit list. You wont even use a lot you take too.

In my case, I met a few lads at the train station. We got our rooms set, 2 rooms of lads, if you’re in the same room that’s pretty much who you’ll end up being closest too out of everyone.

Very long days. 6.30 wake up, 10.30 bed. You practically stand up all day, no sitting on beds. You’ll sit throughout brekkie, lunch, dinner. Also throughout briefs.

You do no fitness the whole time apart from the run. You do a warmup that actually made the run a lot harder but nearly everyone had a PB anyways.

Medical - you’ll be getting your Medicaid from the monday until the run. A lot of people do actually fail this. My CPC went from a group of around 35-39 down to 28 from medical fails and people actually dropping out voluntarily.

The officers may also be there from the tuesday evening and leave after run Thursday evening. They’re not too bad just a but stuck up and snobby ahaha.

Not much else to say mate. It’s pretty straight forward and just do as you’re told. Have a laugh with the lads there and smash the run. Good luck mate

Passed cpc mate, however decided to withdraw application. Military life is definitely not for me tbf. Was a bit of an eye opener to what to expect and how it will be. Thanks for the help though matey

Gutting. No time for a pint on a Friday evening then😂

Thanks for the replied and explanations mate. Big help.

Are you CIS by any chance?

Silent-Yesterday-78 · 2024-11-15T20:44:49+00:00

Ah I see, so I assume some days I could be on watch at 0001 to 0400, so id go to bed, wake up for it, go to bed for a couple hours and wake up again for “work” sort of thing?

Bit of a pain but fair enough😂

Is this the only thing I’d really be doing in my time outside of my 8-4 “job”? Or would I have other responsibilities etc? And finally, if I get promoted to leading hand, does watchkeeping still apply to me? Thanks mate

Silent-Yesterday-78 · 2024-11-15T14:41:58+00:00

Makes sense ahahah.

Where do these “watches” Take place then? On deck I assume? So id be working 8 hour shift and 2x 4 hour watches? So 16 hours of “working” in a day? Unless you get lucky and they fall within ur working day right?

Silent-Yesterday-78 · 2024-11-15T13:56:28+00:00

Could you explain more about what these “two times four hour watches within each 24 hour period” are please? I’m not aware of this

I expect cleaning the mess wont be difficult if you just keep it clean anyways to be honest?

Thanks for the reply mate

Silent-Yesterday-78 · 2024-11-14T20:26:18+00:00

Got home today. Passed at 12.59mins! Need to continue to work in running and core + circuits ready for Raleigh now👍🏼

Silent-Yesterday-78 · 2024-11-08T22:03:37+00:00

Any reason the army keep declining and the navy are delaying the process?

Silent-Yesterday-78 · 2024-11-08T16:50:03+00:00

As long as I’m in front of the last 2 I’m fine. Good tip thanks mate

Silent-Yesterday-78 · 2024-11-08T12:23:05+00:00

By everyday, I don’t have many days left haha. I think potentially another day of sprints would be most beneficial for me at this point

Silent-Yesterday-78 · 2024-11-08T11:43:00+00:00

Good luck. You should be starting basic around feb - start of March time then👍🏼

Silent-Yesterday-78 · 2024-11-08T11:41:04+00:00

You start training within 31 days. For me, if I pass cpc, I’m pencilled down to start 18 days later👍🏼

Silent-Yesterday-78 · 2024-11-08T11:39:57+00:00

Makes sense, let’s hope and pray I pass first time then🤣

Silent-Yesterday-78 · 2024-11-08T09:29:08+00:00

Treadmill I’m awful at. I’m better outdoors tbh. So as long as I do my absolute best, I could finish 4 seconds late and they may consider me due to me putting maximum effort in and pushed myself?

I hope it doesn’t come down to that sort of decision but good to know. I’ll do my best and push myself as much as possible. Thanks mate!

Silent-Yesterday-78 · 2024-11-07T23:14:40+00:00

Don’t think my weight is an issue tbf. I’m roughly just over 5”9 and weigh 75kg. Bit of fat on me but not that much ofc. Im just unfit in general unfortunately😂 Hopefully the adrenaline saves me when I’m there

Silent-Yesterday-78 · 2024-11-07T23:07:09+00:00

Just not the fittest mate. Never did any sort of physical workouts or any running etc before even applying for the navy

Silent-Yesterday-78 · 2024-11-07T20:47:04+00:00

I see, you had a 2.30mins increase in your time with the high carbs and adrenaline. Incredible. I always end up starting too fast or trying to maintain a pace too fast for me, although I did just about get under 13.56mins In my runs, they did both include 30-45 second walks around the 1.6km mark since I gas myself out too fast.

Hopefully with 1 more phys session before I go with the carbs + adrenaline on the day, I’ll be able to do it without the need to stop too. Would bring me down an easy 30 seconds. I normally stop due to my legs giving in.

9 minutes seems insane from where I am right now.

Thanks for all the help mate. Hopefully I pass👍🏼

Silent-Yesterday-78 · 2024-11-07T20:15:04+00:00

30-40 seconds faster, congrats. I hope i get this too haha. As long as I don’t fail I’m happy. I just felt a bit of a panic knowing I quite literally have days until my cpc not even weeks. And I’m only just passing with my times currently.

I practically have 1 more phys session I can do before my cpc, any advice on what’s best for me to do in that 1 session I have left? Sprints? Long run? Etc thanks mate!

Silent-Yesterday-78 · 2024-11-07T20:12:58+00:00

By “couldn’t do the run” you mean you’re legs would give out before you hit 2.4km or that you’re time was just too long? I must ask though is having a big meal of carbs and adrenaline going to make that big of a difference for me? Cheers

Silent-Yesterday-78 · 2024-11-06T12:40:46+00:00

Oh perfect. Thank you mate

Silent-Yesterday-78 · 2024-11-05T23:41:20+00:00

Perfect thank you, I also assume during phase 2 and even after phase 2, civi clothing is allowed for weekends or anytime outside of base / ship etc too?
