      Well, I won't be doing ITs until my medical is boxed off...

        You are correct - they are conducted on consecutive days

          They are normally conducted that way but you actually have up to 8 weeks after succesfully completing parts 1&2

            Turned up in McKee last night with a bunch of other lads to participate in sceduled PMS'd fitness tests, for me part 3, at 6pm

            waited 45 minutes

            BPO didnt turn up, and never bothered to inform us that he wouldn't be around

              F@@king bad drills there by that man. If you take the time to do whats required of you, least he could do is the same. Not turning up for a scheduled training session ,,,, chargeable offence!

                well, im not saying he didnt turn up for a scheduled event, im saying the gym had a notice in the window saying closed today at 1630pm and the individual in question either told someone who didnt pass it on or just didnt bother to turn up. i dont mind a legitimate reason, but i do mind taking time off work to get across there on time and putting my evening on hold to participate. found the BOS and got him to mark my name down at the gate as having turned up for a scheduled IT part 3. also I heard from a mate who was on duty that same situation happened this week when a van load arrived down from finner camp one morning to do a scheduled fitness test and guess what? the BPO didnt turn up. dunno was it the same person.

                  There is other possibilities. Maybe the BPEO wasn't detailed or was on another detail.

                  Check your PMs

                    This is the DF we are talking about and RDF can be just as guilty. Did you ring the Gym PERSONALLY and ensure it was boxed off for 10 bods etc and a verbal commitment that it was going ahead, plus a mobile number to ensure if cancelled, plus up on PMS as "Fit to Undergo" Gym NCO wont sort it but he should be able to let you know if BPEO is supposed to be there and duty BPEO's mobile number and get one of your officers to phone her/him and see what the story is.

                    But if you've done all that and no show on tester's part - that's an issue

                    The published IT's are not for ad-hoc attendance - you have to do the above ^^^^^

                      The ITS were moved to the 12th of June due to other DF sporting events (probably the triathlon). But the notice about the change went out at least two weeks ago.

                          It was read out at parade. Plus, it was up on the notice board.

                            The above process you mention has never to date been told to me

                            all ive heard this year is that you are now on the PMS system, failure to turn up on a date is not acceptable

                            we receive an email and a text from the units cadre informing us of the date we are supposed to go on

                            to my knowledge our unit phoned the gym a few times yesterday but got no answer and as I was instructed to attend and so i did.

                            where will i get all of the contact details?

                            how do i find out who the BPEO or the GYM nco is?

                            how do i read this notice board? where is it located? bear in mind my own HQ is not mckee

                            I wasnt at this parade it was read out on

                            im still pi$$ed off.

                              Essentially it is up to your unit to communicate changes to the affected people. If as Pegasus said it was read out at parade and published on his unit's notice board then it is fair to assume that the same information was available to your unit (Pegasus' unit HQ is not McKee either). So it would appear that those tasked with co-ordinating this at your unit level did not do their job and ensure the information was passed on. I would also hold your CS to task as at this stage he should be tapped into unit information flow through the Sgt Major and the other CS's, if he is not then maybe he should consider doing something else.

                                The DF expects everyone to know to ask in a situation like this, where logic says if something is cancelled that you said you would attend you will be told.
