I bet that stretcher hurt like a bd.
We were down to 2 on mine at just over halfway, me at 5' 9" and a dark green lad at 6' 2". The DS staff stepped in and all were over 6 foot. It bounced like fk and my ears were almost hanging off (probably).
Fair play to her - I bet she won the milling
Some knobhead on another forum was claiming she'd struggle to do the jumps course. Mate, if you can get through P Coy, then pissing about over Weston and surviving a night in Carterton is piss easy.
Quite right. Getting chucked out of an Albert is the easy bit ( do they still use Hercs?)We were down to 2 on mine at just over halfway, me at 5' 9" and a dark green lad at 6' 2". The DS staff stepped in and all were over 6 foot. It bounced like fk and my ears were almost hanging off (probably).

The most horrific event at P Coy is probably the log race, only three miles or so but because you are roped to the telegraph pole and everyone sets off at a sprint, you have no option but to sprint, and you have to keep pulling the log, woe betide you if the log starts pulling you.
The gap on the top of the tower of the trainasium is most people’s nemesis. The gap is only a couple of feet across IIRC and the drop to the deck is only 10 feet ( deliberately, because that’s the same as landing with a standard canopy during jumps ) but it’s 30 feet up in the air, and that gap seems a lot bigger when you get to it. The main ideas of P Coy are equally to test physical fitness and aversion to primal fears (fear of loud noises, and fear of falling are 2 key fears that everyone is born with, hence the design of the trainasium ) The aversion to fear is as important as the physical side of it. They need to be super fit, and show no fear, that’s why P Coy training week is designed the way it is.Oilchange said:
I did P Coy in the winter of 88/89. It was brutal, I found the stretcher race the hardest, was being punched in the face by a nasty bd nco for a mile or so because he wanted me to jack but the ds intervened and yanked him away.
Hallucinated the last half mile...
Two ex 10 Para guys jacked on the log run, couldn’t believe it. They looked like (what I thought were) perfect recruits for the regiment. Realigned my point of view rather sharply to ‘its all in the mind’.
I did it for a forces charity a few years back. Staff struck my lid ( only one strike though ) for leaning, until he realised I was leaning because my fking shoulder was dislocated. I got to the end though.Hallucinated the last half mile...
