At a secret Wiltshire Air Base last year we all turned up over a few days to trial the wonderful new OFT which was full of irrevelant and quite pointless exercises.

None of the females in my group achieved a pass, there were several injuries and the level of supervision and knowledge was appalling.

Now I have nothing against the requirement for fitness but:-

Can we have relevant tests - how about the BFT/CFT??

How about some time programmed into the working week for supervised physical training - not during lunchtimes or at 7am!!

I for one was medically exempt the RAFFT for 18 months with a leq injury but that didn't stop me doing 189 days deployed during that period - would have been pi ed off if I'd been doing that with less pay.
