Yeah Babybell, I know what you meant - but then I'm also RMR

It's not that we do anything harder, just that we have to fit all our own Phys in around our civvy job and commitments, so the personal motivation to go to the gym in your lunch break and go for a run when you get home means the mental staying power has to be pretty good - not to say it doesn't for the regs obviously!
Anyhow.....I was told that of everyone that started holding troop only 16% got their Green lid. SO 84% fail. in RMR you have to take into account people moving house/job which contibutes a good junk to those that fail, but the biggest reason is apparently people falling behind on the phys they're doing in their own time and then falling behind the rest on PT nights, so that supports what I said above.
Just concentrate on keeping your own training going and keep at it and I reckon it'll be OK - at least we've generally got longer to train for each step than the regs.
