Well done on getting into the selection pool, but as mrs g said - keep up your fitness! Oh and that drill you saw would have been my squad (grey) in our suits! But all is well now as we have our uniforms :)

Had the physical assesment today...

Passed everything but the agility test, which was dissapointing. :(
Got to 10.2 for the beep test but had a bad cramp in my calf and had to stop :/

Ah well just have to go harder in training and do it again.

Warrior, chin up on the physical. I know of alot of people who fail first time. You obviously have the fitness so just practice the agility. Short fast sprints, high knees and weaving. Don't leave it too long for a second attempt.

I walked into a room full of people in PT gear this morning... Is ok the trick with the agility test is to keep Low when you get to the markers, practice, practice, practice! Hahaha yeah Duncan, I figured it out alright! I just have to meet you now, kids are gorgeous btw, I saw pics on his phone :-)

Exactty what I plan on practicing, going to call tomorrow to organise my next one, wanting to give myself 2-3 weeks to practice on it. Staying low and getting a good take off is what killed me I think.

That was probably use, where were we when you saw us ?
Everytime I'm at the Academy I wonder if the recruits going by are people from here :oops:

If it was at the front of recruitment I think I do actually.
But most of what happend before the fitness test is a bit of a blur as I'v been going through it in my mind.

Did you get a new test date warrior?? I don't know when they pick the July squad (does anyone?) but if your quick you still may have a chance of getting in it.

I have a date of June 13th for my next test.
I didn't want to book too early as I wanted to get some practice in but then my preferred date of June 6th was out of the question as it's a public holiday.

July squad letters sent out apparently - my friend got I one but I didn't :( hoping they send them out in several lots or I'll have to look towards November squad.
