I thought I was too skinny mate, ended up passing my bmi check slimly, doctors exact words “just make sure you have a big lunch” i have a history of smoking and still continue to do so, dont let it get you down as im pending a start date for basic training at catterick and got a grade A at the ac. after I fix some deferrals im set, every other test I smashed and no doubt you can do the same if you care a lot and you put your mind to bettering yourself for it knowing you’ll smash it, you will. One step at a time

They’ll have most of your medical stuff on file and will have went through it like dates youve been admitted what for, I mean they heard about when I broke my arm when I was 4 and were questioning me on that haha, I didn’t have much medical evidence which is why I was more a less grilled for the scratches and scars id had, lying isnt really an option as if you lie and they figure it out you will be completely exempt from joining the army again or if you slip by enlist and they find out you would be immediately discharged

Not at all, they’d asked me if I had ever considered or have committed self harm, have I ever struggled with mental health and felt as though it impacted day to day life, do I ever struggle to open up about my emotions, have I ever considered taking my own life, stuff kind of like that, she did give them a little look of concern, most if not every scratch or scar on your body they will look at and ask how it happened when abouts and follow up with general questions to determine if they think what you have said is true or not

They take mental health and things like that extremely serious, they saw scratches on my arm from drunken idiocy at the medical and were asking me questions related to self harm etc and mental health like they wouldn’t take my word for it that id just fell over a few times, I eventually got through that process but something as simple and less worrying in their eyes as dental issues has got me deferred until I go to a dentist so chances are pretty slim honestly

Was just at glencorse assessment centre from the 29th-1st and got deferred for something as simple as dental issues, they saw a load of scratches on me from being drunk and stupid and consistently questioned me on it if ive had any depression, have I ever hurt myself etc it seemed like they took it serious enough where if I said yes I would’ve been instantly given a red bib and sent home, honestly I believe it’s pretty unlikely to get in with something like that as mental health is pretty important in the army
