I've finally been called up and been told I have to do the PRNC between September 2011 and February 2012 (my AFCO isn't the most organised of ones!)
I've looked up many threads on here on the PRNC and online but I'm still not 100% sure on certain things..
For 18 year old females, is the 2.4km run still 14:15mins or has this been changed? and how long is the warm up because I read somewhere that thanks to the warm up, people failed and their AFCO rang them up saying their date for basic has been cancelled.. I can run 2.4km in about 12:19mins so I'm positive I'll do it but I'm just curious.
Thank you!
Probably not too shrewd to register a user name that identifies you & then suggest your AFCO isn't particularly well organised.
Are you confusing PJFT (Pre Joining Fitness Test) with the PRNC (Pre Royal Navy Course), I wonder?
PJFT (For females aged 15-24) is 2.4Km on a treadmill in under 13 mins 15 secs
PRNC (For females aged 15-24) is 2.4Km outdoor run in under 13 mins 15 seconds (with 10% lee-way)
When you commence Initial Naval Training (INT) you must complete the 2.4Km outdoor run in under 13 mins 15 secs with no lee-way.
Assuming your application is now being moved forward as there was a relatively long wait to join your chosen branch, it would be unusual to announce in January 2012 that you will be attending a PRNC from September onwards last year, although it's appreciated Dr Who may have left a Tardis loafing in your area.
Generally a PRNC is usually booked
after an entry date is allocated to commence Initial Naval Training, usually within six months of joining. A PJFT, on the other hand, needs to be passed within 28 days of being passed fit at the medical examination.
