You had fun trying it all on Luke? ;-) feels surreal don't it!

[Luke5]

Yes, very smart! All seems to fit okay and it's all back in its box again now unless I can't resist touching it again ha.

Congrats man! I wouldn't bother putting it all back in the box though.. Just put it all on coat hangars etc and put it in the wardrobe, then it won't be all creased when you get to wear it

One thing to remember, your trainer will probably say something about photos of the training for at the attestation. Make sure someone in the group takes a camera to the OPST. We didn't get any pictures till after OPST and it was abit disappointing..

[Luke5]

Haha it quickly got creased anyway. I have hung most of it up, meant the other bits and bobs are back in the box.

Thanks for the tip!

I was missing;

Everything I have received all fits great, may need to adjust trouser length, but other than that good!

That's abit rubbish

Think we got ours around weekend 5/6.. How are you finding it Lisa? Done many shifts yet?

[AmISpecial]

Yeah im enjoying the training Lisab, i think OPST this weekend will be fun : ) any tips?

[JayU]

Take a can of deodorant, your gonna SWEAT!

[craigelson]

It's the most relevant weekend in my eyes, it teaches you alot, you have to try and remember what you can from it. My advise is to take water, towel and maybe change of top. Your packed lunch is substantial and will keep you going through the day! Just enjoy it !! :-)

AMISPECIAL :- for OPST id say get stuck in. youll need a spare shirt, towel and water i gets hot in the gym/padded room.
