When I was 18 (10 years ago) I got medically discharged from the Parachute regiment depot with a knee injury. I've recently joined the TA RGJ and have just come back from a tour of afghanistan. I'm now keen to rejoin the forces full-time and am looking at MC diving. (have advanced PADI qualifications) I've gone into the recruiting office and have set the ball rolling but just want to find out as much as I can.
I'm pretty fit with an 8.40 mile and a half but just concerned that my knee probably wouldn't take more than 2 x 5 milers a week. Whats the phys like during training?
I've heard that the job is more like the Navy's bomb disposal. Could I spend a lot of time working on land then (like next time a commando brigade goes to Afghan) and not see much diving? (as with the signallers I met who havn't touched their trade in a few years).
Aside from that, whats it like? can you tell me anymore?
Much appreciated
