​​Bad Drills:  (We all have them: follow the link to wallop a cadre & crack on...)
  1. ​Drinking. You know the score, it has its limits but you always slept in the RMO talks... CLICK HERE: for a shock! So revise your drills here and live longer. Never drink when on medication - it can really mess you up badly. Your new week(?): Mean Mon, Tough Tue, Willpower Wed, Thirsty Thu, then have a great weekend.. Fri to Sunday (but go easy, just one big night max). Tiger Tip: Drink half soda water/half lager = healthier 'pint', cheap & healthy...no sugar like shandy has.
  2. Lack of any PT/tabs.  For British Army PTI fitness see here. Military Workout by Rebecca Louise (err.. why does her one get more hits?). Tiger Tip: Read Taz's Guide: sort diet first as it is 75% that...
  3. Diet Choices. The kebab & chips is (yes, amazingly) not quite as good as we thought... try a food cadre here and live longer. The BBC Health info is ideal with incredible films. Do it. Measure your BMI on their calculator... change your life, choose to be a Tiger ...or a Hippo. Tiger Tip: Cut out evening meals = easy win. ​

'Fierce Pride'....? Errrrmmm...
Good Drills: (Build on these - we are ahead of civilians in many aspects), OK, Infantrymen...
  1. Know what to eat and what not to (see #4 above & click links).
  2. Stop eating a big meal in evening = madness.
  3. Good Breakfast + Good Lunch = get thinner. [Tiny or no eve meal!] 
  4. Understand the need for some regular physical fitness. Join Tigers Fat to Fit...
  5. Know about injury prevention - we don't overdo it. See Taz's sheet = get thin then fit!
  6. Never need gym membership: we use a floor or grass = saves £.

Known Enemy Forces 

  • If you don't know your male cancer risks pre-40 and post-40 then you need to or soon ​you may end up 'MIA or KIA'.
  • Essential knowledge for all men is the risks from Cancer and the risks increase by smoking and drinking. ​
  • Cancer Research UK crib sheet is here. Know it and share it. It saves lives. No excuses. 
Smokers?  If you are still smoking, that is old hat nowadays = a big life shortening = 'Life ND': click here asap and switch fire, literally.)
Surveillance Drills:
​Male cancers: See: Testicular cancer pre-40 & Prostate cancer after 40. 
Click on them to know the enemy giveaway signs so you can detect them. Your GP check is free in UK, ask if in doubt as catching the enemy early means a higher chance of survival... (Avoid jail at your GPs? Top tip: check-fire your (brilliant) army humour about all matters 'down there' (= blank ammo jibes, size & scale/weapon handling/etc. as female (and male) civvy doctors and nurses (incredibly) do not appreciate it. You may get the guardroom+!)
