You get three strikes me thinks, but if you still can't manage the time after that I’m sure you can pay for the test itself and do it to your hearts desire! It won't look that good however and I wouldn’t recommend doing it this way. Pass first time and it will make your life a bit easier. :wink:

Just get on that treadmill and run your ass off! :lol:

You get three strikes then leave it 18 months (they bin your paperwork then) and apply at another AFCO.

What's a PJFT test?

Pre Joining fitness test, dead easy really (the test that is!)

lol Well nobody should fail it more than once to be honest.

I'm only skeptical because I can't picture in my mind how a tread-mill works.

I've only ever run on REAL surfaces and not a hamster toy.

I keep thinking I'm gonna slip off it! lol - How does it work? I know you go faster by pressing a button, but won't you slip whilst pressing that button?

Not really - it's not too slippy.

creddly... you're not walting as Nelson I hope? :lol:

As an aside, why is it that divers have to be so much more fit than the rest?

Try running flat out on mudflats with flippers on.

Having seen their training, and what they do - they really do have to be fit!
