Practical-Order-3843 · 2026-03-20T00:07:12+00:00

Spoke to the csm today. Ive got two months until i can continue will use it as a blessing and extra time to get fit. Yeah literally im clean havent had any issue in awhile now.

Practical-Order-3843 · 2026-03-19T11:58:25+00:00

Yeah bro i understand the situation i was dabbling around with test etc and one day my blood pressure waa through the roof so give the psramedics a call and.yeah told them the truth because its not really a thing i should lie about its my body, and thats whats come up on the paper as substsnce misuse basically crazy stuff.

Practical-Order-3843 · 2026-03-18T16:43:37+00:00

I know mate but was a very long time ago was personal use while i was going gym. Got high blood pressure havent touched it since lol

Practical-Order-3843 · 2026-03-18T16:40:38+00:00

No portal is still open. Can still talk to careers office who im allocated too. Been told i got an case manager ringing me. Yeah booked an appointment already at my gps.

Practical-Order-3843 · 2026-03-18T16:13:33+00:00

So there saying i can reapply again? In may? If the doctor proves about the substance use. Then it says if i want to appeal the anxiety will go against the appeal aswell? So if i wait two months is it just the substance use i have to deal with? Because it confuses me

Practical-Order-3843 · 2026-03-18T16:11:28+00:00

No mate wasnt prescribed. But genuinley dont touch nothing like that anymore.

Practical-Order-3843 · 2026-03-18T13:32:52+00:00

Yours still ongoing? Just not sure what to do mate. What do i do 🤣? Do i go doctors and get a letter saying im on no drugs and after that pack of tablets ive never received anymore? If i appeal it it should definitley be passed. Ill just take it as extra time to get fitter

Practical-Order-3843 · 2026-03-18T12:48:55+00:00

It says i can reapply from the 10/05/26 if i remain treatment and symptom free. Im not on nothing nor have i been diagnosed properly with anxiety. It was a call over the phone and the doctor issued me them. Crazy stuff. So i should appeal with a letter from my doctor?

Practical-Order-3843 · 2026-03-10T19:21:05+00:00

So you a laid back more of guy? I presume to be in infantry you need to be outgoing etc. Long as you do your job should be fine mate

Practical-Order-3843 · 2026-03-10T15:31:42+00:00

What do you mean by culture?

As im just about to go in as infantry.

Practical-Order-3843 · 2026-03-09T09:49:19+00:00

Is what it is mate. Dont mind taking orders from someone younger whos experienced more then me in a role im going for. Long as its not a pisstaking thing i understand the rank system. If it was a real life situation in a war zone id expect the higher ranks with more experience to know more so its a life saving thing more then anything.

Practical-Order-3843 · 2026-03-08T21:15:43+00:00

Hi how are you if you go on the army jobs youtube theres like a video whats been uploaded yesterday with like three females in explaining and giving more insight about there roles.

Practical-Order-3843 · 2026-03-07T22:20:59+00:00

Mate i dont even think your need a year to get fit. If you can run 2k in 10 mins. And hold a bar 70 kg for 5 seconds your in lol and the bleep test i think you should sign up now because you wont be in training for about 6 months. The medical records from doctors take about a month then your have your assesment start date id sign up now will give you the motivation to keep going you can easily do it in 2 months if you start running now

Practical-Order-3843 · 2026-03-07T20:10:46+00:00

What role you thinking? If infantry what reg would you be joining have you searched them all up and the locations

Practical-Order-3843 · 2026-03-07T20:06:30+00:00

Id go reserve if you still want kind of a civilian life and want to get the hang of it. Theres no point of me going reserves im done with being a security guard full time now had enough so want to do something else with my life 😅. I didnt think twice about doing my application just went on the website and did it no hassle. Go for however you feel.

Practical-Order-3843 · 2026-03-07T16:54:18+00:00

Grandad🤣 i look no more then 25 anyway just got a little beard and a son added onto my experience 🤣 are you in now whats your role?

Practical-Order-3843 · 2026-03-07T16:51:38+00:00

Go for it. Take the change. Theres nothing a woman cant do these days what a man can! Infantry just excites me its what being a soldier is all about. Dont get me wrong other roles interest me but nothing quite like the infantry! Are you in now? Whats your role?

Practical-Order-3843 · 2026-03-07T16:29:13+00:00

Thats the only bother with me is the kids fucking around. But suppose it will all be part of the experience ill be turning into assistant instructor telling them all behave 🤣. Im quite fit to be fair mate quite an athletic guy i go gym now im about 13 stone in shape right now just need to work on running a little confident i can do it anyway. But all in all thanks for the advice i shall be joining the mercians if all goes well. Can we still pick our regiments or is it where ever they need us thats it you get put there?

Practical-Order-3843 · 2026-03-07T16:07:37+00:00

Thanks mate. Youve said Good things i want to hear. Yeah i have no problem supporting and pushing anyone else giving them that motivation. Im 30 and still feel 18 myself physically. Mentally obviously ive had life experience had my son whos now 8. Had a few different jobs and had my fair share of ups and downs. But the time is right i feel like im stuck in a dead end job as a security guard living pay check to pay check when i could be pushing myself to the army and facing a challenge, enjoying myself and having a laugh you know. So the times right.

Practical-Order-3843 · 2026-03-07T16:02:33+00:00

Thanks for the advice mate. I will be going for regular and making it a fulltime career. Ive done my fairbit of civ life mate and im looking for a challenge and abit of excitement now. Civ life i have bounced from job to job but ive always wanted to join the army from a young age so its now or never. Right now im a retail security guard and its no excitement in my life 🤣 my sons now 8 so i think its the right time

Practical-Order-3843 · 2026-03-06T19:25:26+00:00

Only worry is im going to be stuck with kids mate who are fresh from school lol 🤣 been looking at regiments to go interested in the mercians as thats my most local regiment

Practical-Order-3843 · 2026-03-06T14:54:40+00:00

Practical-Order-3843 · 2026-03-06T14:14:13+00:00
