Also this is my families bloody legacy lol. So badass
My moms grandfather was one of the people who started the miners union. He aslo was at the battle of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_El_Alamein which some of you should know from cod 2.(when you defend that town against the germans and you eventually artillery the german tanks.
also he saw this man hang in milan
His son was a mercanary during the congo crysis in the 70s(I think it was or in the 60s can't think now) also was a street fighter and was in jail at the age of 12.
Then my great grandfather was called tiny and he was part of the nazi movement during the ww2 he was a gangster as well.
My dads mothers uncle flew a spit fire during ww2.
And my dad was fighting in angola which he saw action was ambushed and most of his squad was killed. And my moms father was enlisted to the sa army but he never saw action.

It's somewhat disconcerting to see younger people referring to a WW2 battle as being from "Call of Duty" and referring to a "Crysis" in the Congo :roflmao:...Daniel Stuart wrote: Also this is my families bloody legacy lol. So badass

Rule #1 (or thereabouts) of life: do stuff.
Good luck buddy! Even the entrance exams will yield tales to tell and tell you must!

I spent a year working as physio for the army and saw many recruits and even older members come in with injuries.
Just some tips to help you with your preparations:
Stretch your hip adductor muscles, nothing like a groin strain to ruin your day. Also, strengthen your lateral hip stabiliser muscles, so your adductor muscles don't get strained.
Make sure your core muscles are STRONG, so you don't hurt your lower back.
Strengthen your scapula stabilisers (muscles between your shoulder blades), more specifically the endurance of these muscles to maintain the correct posture and decrease the strain on your upper trapezius muscles.
Stretch your calves and make sure your anterior tibialis muscle has good eccentric control (when releasing the contraction) so you don't get shin splints.
Do your preparation with a backpack on your shoulders. Gradually increase the weight you have in there, so the first time you run a few miles with a backpack isn't when you start basic training.
If I think of more tips I will post them.

As for the training I am following the royal marines training guide.
But still bear Reinhard's advice in mind. There are a lot of injuries in any basic training program.
Any injury an they ship you out home an u need to reapplysingemonkey wrote: But still bear Reinhard's advice in mind. There are a lot of injuries in any basic training program.
Yip I know. That is why I am training. I am going to do this. ?IceCreamMan wrote:Any injury an they ship you out home an u need to reapplysingemonkey wrote: But still bear Reinhard's advice in mind. There are a lot of injuries in any basic training program.
well you need to do what you gonna do...... so i hope your dreams get realised
but i do hope you one tough sob..... and i don't mean physically ....
ask yourself if you can handle the reality that you are putting yourself in a life and death situation since there is actual ongoing conflict ........ this is very real ... not a movie or video game. war is not pretty or fun or even glamerous as movies make out even peace keepers get killed .....
and more than that can you live with the idea that you could actually kill someone ... in a far away country ....war and killing to defend ones home is one thing when your own country and family is threatened and you are drafted .........but when you go looking for it and sign up ....
traumatic stress of either dying or surviving and of living with the thought you killed someone is a reality ........ which some very tough soldiers never recover from ......
think it through before you sign anything ......

I have don't worry. I'm not afraid of death. There is more chance of you dying in a car than in the warzone. You can die anytime in the civilian world.
And as for killing Its not nice but its part of the job. Mentally I am strong. I have been through a lot that would drive a lot of people to drugs or suicide.
I am a strong willed person. I have been thinking about it for atleast since I was 18.

Daniel, have you considered signing up closer to home....the air force, navy, etc ? Even the SA Police ? All of these could potentially offer you a good career....Daniel Stuart wrote: I have don't worry. I'm not afraid of death. There is more chance of you dying in a car than in the warzone.

No I am not interested in the sa army. I want out this country. Even if I only do the army for a couple of years then I can try a music career in england.
Its a big step but I need to do this.
My friends sister is angry at me. She doesn't want me to go.
