RubyTex 1,957 Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 It's a shitter, i got rejected for eczema...to say it's mild is an understatement, but they didn't want to take the risk of it going off big style, the b*****ds as a 17 year old being told "no" to your only option of a career (at the time), i was fooking devastated. Enjoy it mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nice one mate, i keep getting leaflets and shit about joining the regular army even though i was rejected on medical grounds a few year back Me too mate, due to my medical history. Got called in for a specialist medical. I was playing youth rugby and passed recruit selection in the top 25% or so too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

derbylad1 293 Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 You can pass all the tests in the world to "get in" the regular army,different world once you are in. Because thats all you are doing...getting in!!! Its the very lowest acceptable level. As for asthma and esthma....they have to draw a line somewhere, and if you dont meet that line...then sorry you are not acceptable for service. TA or regular should now be at the same standards, as the TA go out on operations the same as the regulars. Congratulations on getting in the TA. How come you dont want to go for regular?

Guest cookiemonsterandmerlin Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 Well done it takes alot to volly for service in potential dangerous OPs being a regular is tough but its your full time occupation. But being a TA means juggling your homelife worklife as well and then when you get your papers from queenie you have to put your whole civvy life on hold Cant belive OP TELIC is still current ATB Cookie Quote Link to post Share on other sites
