    Have medical in two weeks bp is high so worried i will fail

    I am fit and have a very healthy bmi and my blood pressure is quite high. The nurse took it 3 times at the medical and said she would say it to the doctor. The doctor never mentioned it when I was called in.

    Past everything so far. Just waiting on a meeting with the super. I met the sergeant early October. Is it supposed to be this long of a wait?? Medical and PCT are done since last month.

    How long of a wait had you between the medical and PCT? Do you get your date for the PCT on the day you pass your medical like they did in the past?

    I had about 6 weeks of a wait between both. They don't give you a date for you PCT on the day of your medical they send you an email with a date

    Will they tell us on the day that we have passed the medical and do we need any paper work with us for medical exam.
    Print out of medical invitation/ I.d???

    Also good to know about intake dates.
    Please God we all get the Feb or may dates. Preferably February :-D

    Invest in plenty of bags of peas. Had mine done Wednesday. First two days is a constant feeling of onions in the eyes. Bags of peas wrapped in a towel over the eyes helps ease it. Plenty of tissues for 24 hrs of watery eyes.

    Lasek cuz it only takes a month till you can do contact sports. 8 months I think with lasik, especially when they'll be training self defence in the college.
