So, today I passed my (three day) it was actually only two days PRTC, unless you failed fitness test or failed to bring in relevant exam results to skip Functioning Skills. In which you have to sit (day three.) it is all becoming real now. I have got my date for my intake. My intake flight. And my kit list etc.
Iam am not a huge fan of the classroom. However I know there will be a lot of classroom activities during basic that Iam not looking forward too. Iam just thinking mainly of the end result. As I am a more hands on type of person. And kind of struggled during the maths but not so much the English side of things.
turns out on PRTC you don't really need to worry to much about kit. You are seen as (Civilians) still so will not be treated too harshly for lack of tie knotting skillls. Lack of ironing skills etc. But that does not mean do not make an effort lol.
For all serving members and non. I have one question to ask. It regards shaving. After trying to shave everyday (which they require during basic training) after the second day (final day for me) my face felt like it was being cut to pieces by a machete lol. I have tried all of the sensitive shaving foam. Sensitive after shave balm. Different razors, everything. However no matter what I try. I cannot shave one day after the other without it feeling like it is ripping my face to shreds. Any suggestions would be muchly appreciated.
