Yea pussy.
If the British Army declines my medical appeal then I'm off to France. Not got a choice, to be honest.Highlander, even they don't know. Their life is limited to a forum, it is all they can seem to fathom. I don't care who I piss off. Zero f*cks.
When I offer help, they leave to their country, or find some excuse why they can't come and join. Just a bunch of pussies, spineless, as Chas said, and well said, too!. Each time I read an excuse, I won't even call them by their handle name, always going to being with Pussy. Like Pussy D boss, pussy rickster and pussy the rest of the lot of pussies here.
I know that feeling, it went away from me at some point. And I wasn't declined.(...) It's weird, deep down I kind of want the British Army to decline me but that's probably naiveté (or stupidity).
It is definitely a roll of the dice.Volt, he is not obese at all. Talked to him and seen plenty of pics, Be aware,BMI never regulates Solid muscle, Ever. As for him getting in, its anyones guess, just like it is a roll of the dice for everyone.
For a moment I thought that you are good guy and then you really won't to pay for my ticket.
Yea pussy.
Cernunnos, can you give us a reminder about your medical appeal? I could check the posts but it would be quicker if you could just put a summary. Thanks in advance.If the British Army declines my medical appeal then I'm off to France. (...)
If a green is harsh and rude, people complain. If a green is trying to be helpful and friendly, people complain. What do you guys want?
666, old buddy, this is a real morale booster for the Legion. Ggetting an OPEX is what joining is all about. You can then say that all the crap that you've been through to get that far is worth it. And who knows, on the 14th you may be swaggering down the Champs-Élysées: Vigi medal, Défense Nationale medal, OPEX Mali medal.Volt, agreed on all accounts. Joe c, yea, not sure what company is going. Think it's 2nd. Everyone leaves between Jan and Feb 6. I leave Feb 6. Heard 13, goes Jan 6. I can ask again.

Of course.
At 16 I signed up for the British Army, intending on going to Harrogate Foundation College but I didn't prepare well enough (my own fault) and so I was declined.
Fast-forward to June this year I signed up again for the British Army.
I was doing great, I went to a Personal Assessment Day (or something like that) to test my running because I didn't know my time.
I was in front of everyone, including the instructor, until I went the wrong way (my fault for not listening) and lagged behind.
I managed to catch up but couldn't overtake the instructor and the two others that were ahead of my now.
I got 11:14, I think.
Anyway, a couple of days before I was supposed to receive my tickets to Scotland for selection I got a call saying something was wrong with my application and that I wasn't going up to Scotland.
Fair enough, I thought at the time, it shouldn't be anything too bad.
Then I got the letter in the post saying I was medically differed under RESPIRATORY PRE-ENTRY ANNEX D which states;
5. Candidates with a recorded history of asthma, with the following features, would be normally graded P8 (unfit).
a. Those who have experienced symptoms or taken, or been prescribed any form of treatment within the last 4 years.
So I sent an appeal but I needed medical documents to prove I was fit.
So I sent a letter from my Doctor saying I last used an inhaler in 2011.
It got turned down.
So I sent a second appeal, at the behest of my Father.
This time I took a Spirometry and sent the results.
They accepted this and now I must wait 6 weeks, from the 03/11/17, to hear back.
All this hassle because I had multiple chest infections in secondary school.
When I was 16 they told me “The British Army, nowadays, doesn't want you. We don't need you, you need us. So come back in two years when you've prepared better.†So I did.Is it in general hard to get into the British army nowadays?
Don't worry, it wasn't asthma. I just had really bad chest infections and they gave me the inhaler when one of the infections stopped me from breathing properly.Don't worry, If you get rejected, that fine, you gave it a shot. If you go to the Legion, Do not say anything about asthma. (...)
Hi Anzacman, I hope that your health is better now. Did you finish your 5 years?Hell 38/39 that was a little over twice when I started my 5 years. Already introduced myself 3 years ago have been MIA because of health.
Well... Two pieces of advice:Who me? I want Brazilian girlfriend . There's one girl named Andressa. Brazil is a small place. Maybe you know her and you can somehow connect me with her.
Here is video of her https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LCjZehpdWM
