My step-son has just passed out for the Army and at the moment is learning to drive a car then hopefully will go on to LGV's.

He enjoyed his basic training, but from the dvd we got, it looks hard work and plenty of it. He is 17 nearly 18 and hoping to get posted to Oxford area after his driver training but he could still be sent anywhere. He told me that 2 of the recruits that were with him on passing out were off to Canada to join their RA postings the Monday after they had passed out on the Friday

Fittness both mental and physical very important so think about being shouted at, told what to do and your reaction to that and get hold of some weights to start building yourself up. Before he went in he was able to do 75 sit-ups and 80 press-ups in 2 mins without a rest in between. Think he can now do 90 and 110 in the 2mins.

If you do join up good luck its hard but from what I've seen he loves it
