Wasn't their a corporal in Ep 1 who was french? He may have had dual nationality, but he specifically called himself out as French in that particular episode, based on that, I thought anyone could apply a la French Foreign Legion, if you parade out, then you "owe" the country x years of service?
He's from Jersey.Zoobeef said:

And it's Afghanistan not fecking "afgan".
That place has sucked enough life out of me to call it what the fk I want. stty ahole of the world or Afghan. Both are correct.Good to see you can't even spell my quoted word correctly though. Bellend.
Think Crossflow is/was a green suited superhero though, gotta be all posh and that. [if not, I apologise profusely for calling you 'one of them' ]

He's from Jersey.I suppose I'll confess that a failed the Tarzan myself as I was always too slow on the high obstacles part. I'm ok at height but I just slow down loads. All the other tests were fine and I enjoyed the endurance and the 30 miler apart from the first and last 4 mile sections.
I had a week of re teaching and run throughs on it then did the whole 4 tests again with the next troop. I did laugh when one corporal was boasting it was his second 30 miler in as many months.

Does anyone ever sail through the fitness tests?I had a week of re teaching and run throughs on it then did the whole 4 tests again with the next troop. I did laugh when one corporal was boasting it was his second 30 miler in as many months.

The guy who collapsed 600 meters from the end of the 9 mile retest, having picked up a minor injury (broken leg) and was still trying to get up and finish it....top plucky bloke!!
When he collapsed on the first run I have never seen anyone go that colour , he looked like a corpse

it was nice to see that the NCOs and medics took it seriously too
Definitely, especially that they saw it coming, though given the amount of plaster he ended up in I suppose they should!It's been a fascinating series. Great TV and I should think will help their recruitment numbers no end.
