Out of interest was there an OASC type experience to get through or was it a check of aforementioned 'O' levels, medical and flash of the old school tie before the de-baggings could commence?
Oh dear Vim-Fuego - you'll be suggesting we bought our commissions next!

Did my OASC at Biggin Hill. I did the usual thing with oil drums and planks trying to get my team across an imaginary ravine. I hadnt a clue how to do it (maybe it was impossible) but I figured if I looked as though I knew what I was doing and kept everyone busy for the allotted 10 minutes or so then I might convince the DS.

I got through anyway!

(btw doubt if anyone would have recognised the tie from my unremarkable north country grammar school!)
