    Thanks Steve and yes to be honest I have sat up at night and thought “Is the RAF Regiment what I want to aim for? Should I be setting my sights higher?”
    I still have a few months of gearing up my fitness level before I throw myself at anything so I guess I ‘ll use that time to sit and think what I should be aiming for.
    The only reason for the Regiment is its a physical challenge, but I know I can aim a lot higher with the qualifications I hold.
    Keep u informed to my choice in 3-4 months. 🙂

    Thanks Seafuryfan,

    I’ve thought about trying out for various occupations in the RAF. Loadmaster was one and Fighter Controller was another. I’ve got the qualifications needed (3 A-Levels in English Language, Biology and Environmental Science plus GCSE’s including Physics) but the RAF Regiment seems to offer more of a challenge.

    P.S.

    What do u do as aircrew, do u work on an E-3 or something 🙂 Should I be addressing u as Sir??? 😀

    I can cook!

    Every day I have the meal on the table for when my beloved comes home.
    Waiting on the table will be a nice chicken korma, curry or chilli con carne.
    She’s never very grateful though, apparently she doesn’t consider microwavable meals to be romantic!!! 😀

    I just don’t get it, I slave away for 9 minutes watching the dish rotate and what thanks do I get…yadda yadda yadda:) .

    True about the tread mill being different to running down the street or off road. I noticed that when I was at school! I could run quite a distance on a tread mill but as soon as I ran cross country my legs were knackered.
    Currently focusing on running laps around a local park, currently I can do 1.5 miles in 11 minutes..really need to work on both speed and endurance.

    Thanks for the tips about carrying bottles in a rucksac etc. 🙂

    Gonna investigate local gyms or fitness centres so I can use better equipment than I’ve got.

    Now all I need to do is work on my press ups, running and chin ups and I’ll be in the clear…I hope 🙂 .
