1.5 mile run

[mcguire123]

Having spoken with recruiting sgt's recently ive manged to answer my own question regarding the run, apparently there is'nt one.
I'm reliably informed that my only phys tests at Halton next year will be the BEEP TEST and either a 5km or 5 mile tab with 75lb's loaded into a bergen.
There is i assume a swimming test, i believe its over 50 metres, but what is this GROW BAG people keep referring to?
Also, it seems a shame that there is no 1.5 mile run, as i had worked bloody hard to get my time down to 11.5 minutes, well inside the 13.5 i had been quoted.
There seem to be so many rumours on here, i dont know if its just confusion over the training differences between the regt gunners, auggies and reg's, if indeed there are any.
If anyone can help clarify which bits of info i should take onboard i'd be grateful.
Cheers
Steve

but what is this GROW BAG people keep referring to?

Grow bag = slang term for an aircrew flying suit , can also be used to describe the wearer of the flying suit. Tashy's picture is of an aircrew flying suit hence it's a picture of a grow bag.DT_Xtremez_30:
