Never had an issue with it. The only people that seem to have are those who have an inability to pass. How anyone can fail such a simple test is beyond me?
I don't even break a sweat getting to my green level - and always get dark blue apart from Bleep Test where dark blue is out of reach. I still manage light blue and I'm bloody 38 - it's embarrassing when airmen half my age drop out on Level 7?!
For as long as the RAF is a fighting force then the old whining chief tech brigade ( it was never like this in RAFG yadda yah) will have to lump it; pass or leave. Simple.
Jeez, when I joined the Army in 1990 we had to run 1.5 miles in under 10 mins in white issued plimsolls!! I think the RAF should give people the option of Bleep Test or 1.5 mile run. I find the run much easier on the joints than all that blasted turning. Still, what do I care - 5 months to go!!
