    Very well put together mate. The young lads need more content like this. I'm in the infantry and have spent 2 years as a cpl and 2 as a Sgt in itc Catterick taking the guys through training. The amount of people that turn up ill prepared is beyond scary. Funny enough I have spent 2 years in the careers office and what I found was a distinct lack of knowledge by the staff at most afco. This then has a huge impact on a youngster wanting to join because all they end up doing is running 2k and doing press ups and sit ups

      LIVING BEING IS OUR RACE, MANKIND IS OUR RELIGION, HINDU,MUSLIM,SIKH,CHRISTAIN, THERE IS NO SEPARATE RELIGION
      ALMIGHTY GOD KABIR is the father of all souls that JESUS, MOHAMMAD, GURU NANAK, VEDH was telling in BIBLE, QURAN, GURU GRANTHA SAHEB
      .. In OLD Orthodox Jewish Bible KABIR is mentioned...KABIR means (GREAT or MIGHTY GOD) in hebrew...but when translated in different languages translator removed KABIR word..... www.jagatgururampalji.org/en/bible
      Quran written in arabic has also KABIR word....KABIR means SUPREME in arabic..... www.jagatgururampalji.org/en/quran-sharif
      In vedh also KABIR is mentioned.....
      www.jagatgururampalji.org/en/supreme-god-hinduism

      U will get surprised that in Holy book of SIkh called PRAANSANGALI…. GURU NANAK himself described that LORD KABIR is his Guru and Lord KABIR met him..and in GURU GRANTHA SAHEB Guru Nanak called Lord kabir as kartar (GOD)..but todays Sikh says that GURU NANAK had no Guru........ www.jagatgururampalji.org/en/shri-guru-granth-sahib
      Just by reading holy books it is impossible to get depth knowledge of Holy text because we are just a living beings.. In vedhas also KABIR is mentioned...our brain isnot capable and doesnot understands the secrets behind the words and world.....JESUS AND MOHAMMAD both were aware of LORD KABIR but later followers were not able to get depth knowledge .....In bible it is written that Jesus was son of FATHER... then WHO IS THE FATHER?

      Brother/SISTER LORD KABIR has send the messenger in present time in the form of SAINT RAMPALJI MAHARAJ... BIBLE, QURAN, VEDH, GURU GRANTHA SAHEB are holy books of Christain, Hindu, MUlsim, SIKh & all these holy books are suggesting one ALMIGHTY GOD KABIR but today preachers of different religion doesnot understand the secrets thats why HUMAN society cannot get full benefits from ALMIGHTY GOD...As a result more and more people are becoming non believer.....

      Any kinds of DISEASES(MENTAL, PHYSCIAL, SPIRITUAL), PARANORMAL ACTIVITY,CURSE,BLACK MAGIC,GHOST is cured by Getting Diksya (mantra ) from SAINT RAMPALJI MAHARAJ..Note: No charge is taken. .one can get MANTRA dikshya from INTERNET or BY PHONE CALL after getting dikshya evil things cannot hover around the person....ANY KINDS OF DIESEASES AIDS, CANCER , KIDNEY FAILURE IS HEALED BY SAINT RAMPALJI MAHARAJ......BUT ONE SHOULD NOT VIOLATE GODS RULES after becoming DISCIPLE of SAINT RAMPALJI MAHARAJ - NO MOVIES, NO SONGS,NO MEAT, NO EGG, NO DRUGS( ALCOHOL, CIGARATEES, TOBACCO, MARIHUANA, COCAINE) -NO ADULETERY, NO PORN, NO POLYGAMY, NO PRE MARRIAGE SEX, -NO GAMBLING, NO STEAL -NO ABORTION Download free GYAN GANGA ,(WAY OF LIVING) JINEKI RAHE book on

      Hey Lewis, thanks for reaching out - I'd say at the moment just focus on staying mobile (as you grow muscles tend to take a while to catch up - so stretching every day will be SO helpful). And just stick with bodyweight strength and running form. When you're about 15 we can start looking to introduce some resisted work in there too. Keep me up to date with your progress bro.

    You really don’t have to be that fit to get into the military. ‘Just good enough’ should be your mantra. If you go to basic super fit your fitness will drop, plus you run the risk of injury. Keep it simple. Run three times a week, no further than 5 miles and throw in the occasional 2.4K. Sit ups, push ups and pull ups are a good mix on your non running days. Buy a pair of hard sole shoes/walking boots and start wearing them everyday, get your feet conditioned. Give yourself 3 months of quality training before joining.
