Bleep test was OK too. I managed a 11-2 which I was a bit disappointed with, but it still gives an 'Excellent' grade. (And I AM an old sod now so fairs fair!)

I had to do the bleep test during a visit to a base with the nice AFCO people last week! I only managed 9.8 so will have to get working on my fitness.
Not sure what I should be aiming for, someone said it was arorund 7-8 for girls, but I don't know what excellent would be;any ideas?Have a look at the new smilies 
Does anyone know when the December OASC review board is?
Many thanks.

REME, hows the finger?
sore, but mending.
I'm a real Mong, though. I was being a caring sharing man of the milennium last night, and making dinner for my wife... and I managed to slice open my thumb and forefinger on my left hand with the top of a tin can! 5 minutes later I burnt my other hand on a saucepan!
Lesson learnt... it's a lot safer to dial for a pizza! (assuming I don't chop off my dialling finger).

Sounds like you're a tad distracted with something else
men should never be let loose in the kitchen! I have learned that from my fiance! She must have loved the fact you tried to spoil her though. Did the dinner work out in the end after you had bandaged yourself up?sublime_envy men should never be let loose in the kitchen!
men should never be let loose in the kitchen! Can't believe that you've said that
No-one could be any worse than me at cooking

Did the dinner work out in the end after you had bandaged yourself up?Naah, she just moaned that I used a tea-towel to stem the flow of blood as it gushed forcibly from my veins. Not a word of concern about the fact that I could have been lying dead on the kitchen floor... just a dirty look and "I suppose I'll have to soak this, now" mumbled under her breath.
There's gratitude for you.
AND ANOTHER THING!!!

hi can someone explain what a review is (is it where the group captain decides how you have done?)
A review is another level of filtering.
Its being used by the RAF at the moment as they're reducing recruitment numbers. So whereas they would run an OASC and make offers/rejections the week after (or whatever), they are now putting any offers forward to a review board. This review board will 'review' all would-have-been offers from over the last 3 (?) months, and pick the best 10% - or however many they need.
Some branches (i.e. medical etc.) aren't goign to review boards as the RAF is gasping for them!!
Hope that helps!!
