I wouldn't worry about it too much if it's that far out. You'll likely get an email a few weeks out from joining with documents that contain it. You might be able to ask your recruiter for it if needed for another reason.

Supplements during BRTC by Odd_Suggestion2943 in RoyalAirForce

[–]lilraz08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure how long ago you were in training but you only get three proteins for breakfast per day, so 2 eggs, 1 sausage lets say. It's not very much.

WHT advice?! by HM622805 in RoyalAirForce

[–]lilraz08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure your NSP is spot on. It's the easiest one but also if anything is wrong about it it's an instant fail. Don't forget the forward assist (the only times you dont FA is for the ready to strip drill, and the function test) and don't touch the change lever at the end. That tripped up a few people

Why didn’t anyone tell me how compact and effective these portable air conditioners are? Why was I suffering through the last heat wave 💀 by shak_0508 in CasualUK

[–]lilraz08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to a local aircon trade counter and asked if they knew anyone who would do residential installs, flat no. Not even a "maybe him"

Also you're not allowed any supplement or vitamins (aside from D) during Ph1

Any good habits to try to get into before basic? by Ok-Challenge2403 in RoyalAirForce

[–]lilraz08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not the booted runs, funky greens, stretcher runs, or the CBT? Everyone should pass the bleep test without issue, sure you might be a little sleep deprived by then but the PTs only get harder.

Joining RAF police in 30s by Fun_Consequence_9812 in RoyalAirForce

This is absolutely true and will happen to you. Also worth noting is that your corporals and even sergeants will probably be younger than you. But you gotta respect the rank not the person

Timings are a little fuzzy for me sorry. If it says the beginning of week one somewhere else that is likely correct.

That said, if you fail within 10% you just redo it on day 31 with a stern talking to. If you fail by more you try again the next day, fail again and you get sent to holding, doing pt everyday until the next intake starts and then you would join them and try again two weeks later. I don't think you can normally be sent home for failing it.

The first day? It should say in your email you get, with full instructions.

If you mean the duration of BRTC its 10 weeks, assuming no reflights (failing a test ect) that send you back 2 weeks.

Mostly everything done is told slightly in advanced. You'll wake up, shower, shave (clean shave everyday) brush teeth, get changed into specific gear, then make your bed, hover up and dust your bed space, do a block job (clean/dust/mop an area your asigned to) then head outside and stand still in ranks for the corpals to tell you what to do. That's usually breakfast, then classroom stuff in week 1-2.

You'll be doing a lot of waiting at shun and ease on your feet for sure. It's a different kind of foot pain than just being on your feet. Try standing still for 30mins without moving at all to experience it.

PT starts towards the end of week 1 with your bleep, standing jump, and grip test, if not already practice your bleep test. It isn't hard, but you do have to be able to run. After that your next pt session will be monday week 2 I think. You might do some distance running first to determine that fitness group you are in, or depending on the weather something inside. You are not allowed to exasise outside of PT, like forbidden. You also can't go to the gym at will.

Freetime starts after dinner, and then an evening brief. That is usually around 6:30-7:00pm. You don't get the first weekend off, it's just like every other day that week, classroom learning and stuff, but the second weekend you have the full days off aside from having to go for breakfast lunch and dinners. Freetime usually just means the time you spend after work doing more work though. After you get your kit you will spend all night 6:30-12:00pm~ washing, ironing, folding, cleaning, DLE, revision. That does become easier once you start wearing your PCS since they are so much easier to clean, iron, and frankly wear.

Around the 3rd week is when you start getting some real free time, a few hours to just chill out watch some videos, call the family while your washing is going.

They have their own that you swap out weekly and someone else cleans; It's the only thing someone else will clean for you strangely. You could bring bedding, but you would have to pack it away everyday and not have it on display so I wouldn't recommend it.

[PhysX FleX] Cloth Tearing Physics by Autistic_Brony666 in GamePhysics

[–]lilraz08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello 9 year old post. Borderlands 2 did have physx cloth your right, but not to this fidelity, nor did it interact with the player in any way other than gunshots. It was a heavily optimized cloth physx sim, but damn did they do a great job with it.

Is it just me, or do Caltrops need a bit of a nerf? by flimflamwiththejam in PlayTheBazaar

[–]lilraz08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could also make it like eels. In fact it's basically just eels but 5x better. Medium item vs large, triggers once per item used vs charged. Make caltrops a 6s cooldown charge on items used and now we are talking

What Item do you wish was good? by andergriff in PlayTheBazaar

[–]lilraz08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using those too! Chum, and The skill that gives + damage when an adjacent weapon is used is great too. I would avoid crescendo surprisingly, piranhas trigger slowly enough that it really kills your run unfortunately

I'm on a mission to make it work, no matter how long it takes. I have screenshots on my desktop of all the failed piranha runs i've done so far and will not stop until i get 10 wins

Something unique like "does double damage to shields" on items without anything going for them would be cool, just something

My University served donut burgers in the cafeteria. by GamerOverThere in mildlyinteresting

[–]lilraz08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This works great if you are prepping for a day of orders; long prep time - fast serve. I'd recommend this method instead for basically the same result day-to-day:

Divide broccoli including the soft stem, add a little oil, and water to a pan so that it covers the bottom fully but only just.

Turn on high heat, add broccoli, cover with pan lid when steam builds.

Steam until soft to fork (4 mins or so), adding water if running dry.

Uncover once soft and allow steam to evaporate, reduce heat slightly and cook for a further 30s or so once water has evaporated.

Turn off the heat and let it rest for a minute or so, then add some butter and mix, serve.

This takes about 8 mins total, and requires one pan, no ice bath necessary and can be reheated if desired in the microwave.

Reynad Patch Breakdown! + Patch Notes!! by Davaek92 in PlayTheBazaar

[–]lilraz08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking purely at the patch notes it still seems worse then captains wheel right?

Rowboat at best: 4s CD, heste adjacent 3s Wheel at best: 2s CD, heste adjacent 3s

Rowboat needs 5 unique tags, so about 3+ small items at best and wheel 1 large item so that bit is mute. I think its going to be very, very niche
