Hey,
I know that may have been asked a lot but I can't find much information.
I am thinking of joining the Manchester UOTC and I know they have a selection weekend which involves a fitness test.
Now I know or hope that my leadership will be good enough but the fitness side of it all I am scared for.
I know sit ups, press ups, 2.4km run and bleep test may need to be done.
Sit ups I can do no problem, I am sure I can do a 2.4km run in 14 mins as stamina is as much mental than fitness, but my press ups I am really scared for as I can just abut manage 15, maybe 20 at a push in one set before I can't push anymore.
Also, how many people really pass and get into the UOTC? I know many people will try to get in but how many do?
Also off topic,
If I don't get into UOTC, would joining the Army reserves be a good option also, as I could be an enlisted in Reserves, improve upon fitness and then apply to be an officer in the real Army maybe?
Thanks.
