Was on the forum last year and was recommended to get a year or 2 life experience before heading for the legion. I worked for a year as a health care assistant, while not outside as recommended I thoroughly enjoyed it and felt like I was finally doing some good. Of my 3 training injuries, luckily my knees are doing way better now and I'm completeing weighted exercises well. However, my shins are seemingly worse than this time last year which is incredibly annoying! A year of physio every night and seemingly no progress. I'm hopefully finally getting a scan for my shins ASAP and while it will probably prevent me from being able to join the UK Armed forces, I believe the legion is still very possible if I can get it all fixed, and I will not stop until it is!
Shoulder wise, it got better and worse, better...worse due to work overuse. Left my job now so I can focus solely on fixing it and getting to the legion!
I've set my sites hopefully on joining in June 2021, giving myself enough time to up my training enough so I dont injure myself again. I ideally want to be at a strong PRMC grade pass before heading to the recruitment centre for the Legion - using the PRMC as a basis of whether I'm fit enough.
End of the update, thanks all and I can't wait to finally get closer to making it into the Legion!!!
