I enlisted at 78kg overweight, went into the Physical Training Phase (PTP) first for the extra two months before BMT proper. Honestly that P…
Been retrenched twice, survived both, so breathe, you will be okay. Practical first steps in order. One, get everything in writing: your ret…
My take might differ, I found it liberating rather than isolating, but I'm quite thick-skinned about what others think. Yes, aunties gave me…
