It should start from day one. I have just visited a training estblishment in the UK and could not believe the number of fat knackers who have just, allegedly, come out of IOT. WTF is going on? Some of them look like they have done 2 tours at Brize Norton already.
Watched the Royal Marines on ITN last night demonstrating courage and fitness. Hats off lads. No sound of a single aircraft overhead.....Still, god help the Taliban if they ever venture into OTA E.
