well it looks like we‘re not going to have our
dates lined up for CAP(R). Hope you get a spot
on the 14 Jul CAP, I heard that it was very tight.
As for BOTP, the weekends are going well,
or so I imagine.
anyway, some advice.. hmm..
1) Uniformity. Don‘t stand out, whatever the
group does, you do and vice-versa. Its important
to stress that at the early stages of training.
It helps to establish teamwork.
2) Learn how to march in step with everyone
else. Dress off with the guy in front of you.
If you happen to be in the front, dress off
the person designated as the pacemaker.
e.g.
"By the right quick march" - the rightmost person
becomes the pacemaker, the front row should
dress off of him.
3) Lots of pushups.. get used to doing them
4) Lots of running.. get used to it
5) Circuit training.. this tends to drain me much
faster than normal.. I guess its all a matter of
endurance.
6) Lead by example. VERY Important! You‘re
continually being judged/graded at every moment.
7) You are allowed to have food on your person
in the form of granola bars or what not. But keep
it discreet. Only eat it while on break.
8) Keep hydrated!! You lose a lot of water during
the day.
9) Be very organized with your kit. It‘ll really help
in the morning when you‘re putting all your stuff
away.
10) Have Fun. This is also very important.
If you‘re not having any fun you‘re going to get
overly stressed and not do well. Remember,
its 50% physical and 50% mental.
Feel free to PM me if you want more info..
cheers!
