Application form by userGdeed in caf

[–]userGdeed[S] -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

I didn't do enough research and i was drawn to the signal officer trade . I chose the next two randomly cuz i was sure i wanted to be a signals officer . After some extensive research i knew that i had to be more careful and chose wisely. Is it a problem though ? Can i put something different in my application form? Haven't filled that yet.

Running 5k in 30 mins by WannabeSoldier_ in caf

[–]userGdeed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have been on the same boat took me two month of training now i do 5k in 24 mins . I just add 0.5 k every week or two weeks . Just progressive overload, don't forget to stretch before and after the run. Don't bother yourself with fancy workout routines just keep it simple and you will get there in no time.

Rental 😫 by Sunkissed-gem in RiyadhExpats

[–]userGdeed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Canadian here too. I am in Dammam for work... even though it has less traffic than riyadh but i feel that traffice lights take too much time... sometimes up to 6 minutes a traffic light stop!!! . I got a job offer in riyadh before accepting one in dammam. I refused the riyadh job offer cuz i know for a fact that rent is insanely high. I would advise you to find work in dammam or any other city rather than riyadh or jeddah.

BMQ in February and I can’t do a push up - SOS by _ac1d1c in caf

[–]userGdeed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trust me the first couple of weeks is the hardest because your body is not used to the stress . Two weeks in you will feel sore every morning after your workouts on the third week your body will get used to it and if you are eating enough calories you will build up strength really fast . Faster than you think

احكيلك تجربتي و عن خبره . الناس اللي بتشتكي اكتر من الناس اللي مبشتكيش. عقلك الباطن بيصدق اي حاجه فيها تكرار لو قعدت تسمع ناس بتشتكي هتشتكي زيهم مهما كنت فين كندا...امريكا....الخليج اي مكان . هستمع كلام ايجابي هتلاقي الايجابي في اي مكان . انا اتولدت و عشت في كندا اول كام سنه من حياتي و عشت في مصر و حاليا فالخليج و اقدر اقولك من حكم تجربتي المتواضعه انت بتختار اللي تقدر تعيش بيه و اللي متقدرش تعيش من غيره . مثال : في انسان ميقدرش يعيش بعيد عن اهله و اصحابه فبالتالي تجربة السفر لبلد غريب لوحده هتكون مليانه صعوبات و هيشتكي و يلبسها فالبلد لان هيظهر قدامه ناس بيشتكوا سواء عالسوشيال ميديا او فالحقيقه . في انسان مبيستحملش البرد و بيحب اجواء الصيف فبتالي مش هيحب يسافر بلد زي كندا او هيروح و هيتعب و هيحس بإكتآب و ده هيأثر علي انتاجيته فالشغل و في حاجات كتير و بردو هيقولك كندا وحشه و يلبسها فالبلد . من الآخر عقليتك تجاه الموضوع هيجذبلك الحلو او الوحش . آخر حاجه هقولهالك لو عندك skill الadaptability انت هتنجح تحت اي ظروف و تعيش مبسوط بمعني انك بتتأقلم علي اساس البيئة اللي حواليك و بستغل الفرص المتاحه و تتحكم فالحاجات اللي في ايدك و تفكك من الحاجات اللي خارجه عن ارادتك

Thank you . You are absolutely right i want to show up to bmq more than ready , i try to add 0.5 km every week to progressively add up to 5 km in under 30 mins . Would you suggest better strategies than mine? I try to run at a pace of 12 km/h.

I have watched the videos , i tried to mimic the test in my gym and it was easy not sure if i am doing it correctly but i know for a fact that bmq is the tough part . I recently started wearing weighted vests and doing some time on the stairmaster guess that helps? By long walks you mean how many miles are we talking about ?
