Ya Ben, only 4 weeks left to learn how to do those airborne pushups, if you can!!

More seriously, on that date are you being deployed or simply starting boot camp all over again?

@diunei

not going onto deplotment but rechecking fitness etc. more of refresher than basic training. then i go for 1 year in a specialise and sub specialed training before deployment. so probably about 14 months before back in the thick again.

sod those airbourne pushups, nearly broke my neck trying LOL

@nero

training going well, although i was planning my progress with the later date in mind. just means i will have to work twice as hard now.

hows things with you? last week of civie life for you now right?
