    Quick question for anyone that is in the army, I've completed 2 years of an accounting level 8 degree my college said they would give me an exit degree meaning I will get my degree for the 2 years I completed and then can go back into finishing my other 2 years later on. I was wondering when I finish my training can I go back to college while I'm in the army or does anyone know how it works ?

    Constant training basically. You will have PT sessions everyday but add to that the extra you will do as punishment. Mostly running with circuits thrown in and your military orientated physical training with a bit of orienteering in the mix too.

    It's all to build you up to carry big weight over rough terrain for an extended period of time, and still be able to do your job when you get there.

    We done a fitness test every 4 weeks. You'll do one the first week for the staff to see your level. You'll do one near the end of recruit training, we done one in 2-3* training too. You will be well able for the test, it's basic compared to what you will be doing.
