I've got to be honest, I was a little bit ashamed when I read some of the posts on here, this new proposed ROFA whilst it will be more difficult, will do the corps good. I cannot bang out 6 pullups at the minute I'm ashamed to say, my fitness is not th best on the squadron, but I work at it in my own time and am always striving to improve. But a higher standard of ROFA should thin out some of the chaff that I am disgraced to see wearing mudguards. The present ROFA is a joke, the 10k yomp is easy, the only thing that aches at the end is your shoulders and your mind from how boring it is, our friday tabs are each and every one harder than the 10k. The speed march is pathetic with a ridiculousy generous time limit, we were cracking it in 20 mins in training, that was hard work, but achievable and that should be the time limit. There has been a lot of moaning on this board about what should simply serve as another challenge to step up to, you can phys whilst on ops no matter ho busy, so I don't buy that excuse. The train realistically thing is drivvel, a higher level of fitness helps you be a better soldier, fact. You cannot say oh, we don't do that on ops, that's unrealistic, how do you know what is going to happen, we had all sorts of taskings in Afghan that were not part of our regular business, that is what makes us a great little corps, adaptability, and like it or not, fitness provides part of that adaptability. I'm off to get ready for a run.
