    Any “pack” will do!!! Just make sure that it weights around 15kg, and get moving.

    at a guesse id say a back pack as a pack a fags would be too light. a pack of cards also doesn't have the benefit of weight. a pack of razors is no good.
    pack of wolves???????????????? forever chasing you. brat pack nope. good luck in the pack you choose.

    sac; a; dos at another guess, e-bay maybe(nearly rymes)

    I now, i cant spell well(that rhymes too)

    You can get a French F1 back pack from the 60's in the states at a mil. surplus store or online. Throw a couple of bricks in there and be on your way. Or borrow my son (34 lbs.) and tote his ass around the block a few times.

    At the end of the day what you train with will probably not be what you get if you are lucky enough to get selected for basic.Learn french ;get yourself fit enough to do well in the sports test.The legion does`nt look or want superman or rambo they will get you fit their way even if it almsot kills you in the process so stop worrying about it, get yer collective backsides over to Fance and give it a go allways remembering the ratio is something like 1 in 10 who get through.(allways have a plan B )
    You can be the fittest bastard in the world but if they find a reason to say no they will.All the training and prep work you do could lead you to injury before you go and then where are you 2 -3 weeks light or no training delayed departure date and well lest face it , a risk of failing at the first hurdle because of an old injury playing up .Get yourself fit by all means but do not overtrain take steriods hardgainers or any of the shit thats around these days to aid you in the process Get used to the idea of doing endless corvee during the selection process
    Here`s a tip instead of getting mummy to do your shit for you (washing ironing cleaning) do it yourself and take some of the load off of her that way you are used to picking up the shit everyone else leaves around and it won`t faze you at all during time at Aubange

    same place you went to for hair replacement therapy
    but if your being serious you could try [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] or any surplus store they should have something to suit.
