I'm a sound sleeper mate. I can sleep through nerves . Heck I could even probably sleep through an earthquake.

Thanks to everyone else for the good luck messages.

Rumor has it that there are a couple of gays in your mess!

Bet you don't sleep so sound at Raleigh

Silly Silly Mooo. Nice to see that you have been taking your application seriously!. What does "adequately fit" mean? Fill it in on the train if you like. But beware, if you fail any fitness tests (2.4K, Bleep test etc) and they decide to see how you progressed during your preparations, you might just get caught out.

Best of luck with your future career with the senior service.

Good luck mate. I still have a week till i go.

Just remember, If you do make things up for the book, make it realistic with space to work with.

i have my PEDA in a few weeks and i was told by my AFCO that all being well my date will be at the earliest june/july. Cant say when yours might be but give you an idea of the length of the wait. which is a long time at the moment. Other people may be able to better advise you.

You weren't supposed to tell anyone, Slim. How are Mr & Mr Type 42 going to feel now!

Best of luck Mooo. Don't forget what your RR pals have advised:

If it moves, SALUTE it, if it doesn't PAINT IT!

Just remember whatever ruffy tuffy face your new oppos present, they'll be as apprehensive as you are. There are the Men who join and the boys who don't.

Right it's way past my bedtime. Were I a man I could stay up late too.....

There's no way to get away with looking like superman, the red cape will give you away on divisions every time.
