Hahaahahaha. Sorry - lovely image of a democratic Cranditz there. If you are 'lucky' your 6 month internment will be on a course over the Christmas or Summer Stand Down - then you get your couple of weeks.
I say 'lucky' as I was not on such a course. Mine was the Feb intake. We worked every Bank Holiday and got %ugg3red about, but we were there for the minimum time without distraction or extra eating/drinking holidays. I think that is the better option and I hit lucky.
'They' can't make you run and all the exercises CAN be completed in the time at walking pace. If you decide not to walk, your call. How much load you carry is often down to your individual size. As a big bloke I can't really be part of a stretcher carrying team, so always got to carry the heavy packs/objects, and sometimes smaller colleagues!
It is only 6 pay cheques.
