and this was in the north east I did mine...

The army has no fucking recruits that's why mental people are getting through

I thought.. fck this Im going daan sarf and learning computers

It has no recruits because it let capita take over recruiting

I was gonna be in the raf

The military knows how to recruit, capita surprisingly doesn't know how to recruit troops

govt thinks "well they can recruit for other jobs, its the same thing" its really not

And hilariously I know of three people who wanted to join the army, mentally healthy but had small physical issues that stopped them

Hence the snow flake ads

I doubt that kun

did air training corps from about 14yrs-16... that was pretty fun.. got to go shooting every monday

I think the modern army has an even smaller pool of people to recruit from people are disagnosed far better nowadays

to get rejected nowadays you have to have something seriously wrong

Either a physical or mental defect

Asthma will get you rejected

As it should

If you cant run you cant pass the test

and first sunday of every month we went to the big range to shoot some 308's

Must be clear for 2 years

heh ... Latvia (where I live) has basically no army to speak of - because the only real threat we have is Russia and their standing army is about the same size as my country's population .... you might see the inherit problem

Any diagnosis of asthma

Nope that is a lie

One of the people I know never needed an inhaler

Got rejected.

If you don't need the inhaler for 2 years you can enter

You can deal with asthma though

Shannon Briggs professional boxer had asthma

Nah pep you cant, the army will not take those who require it, because what if you have an attack in a fire fight for example

Doesn’t always have to be automatic disqualified

Eh fair enough

The army is going to have less and less people to recruit from just because of the reality that medical issues aren't something you can allow in the military

Imagine if you get cut off from supplies for a while or if you have a chronic issue

The thing is though once you get in if you present with any of these the army will be hesitant to let you go

Because 1) you've already proven your worth usually, 2) payouts

I know blokes that were literally deaf, army gave them hearing aids and said "crack on"

lol

Yeah but if you're not in they're not going to take on liabilities like that

Once your in they want their pound of flesh <:shrug:349342983763656705>

Even though I whinge still the best job I ever done and best paid all in all

If your a working class man its definitely the best opportunity

If you're not already diagnosed with something.
