Now that i have had time to think it all through it really is exciting times ahead. Time to really get my butt in gear and get ready for the fitness end. Made an appointment to get my eyes checked also as i may need to get lazer done to meet the unaided standard. But im just going to not stress and take the next stages ad they come. The AC was the big hurdle the rest is in my own control to a certain extent.

I am still confident of getting all the the way to GV some time in 2020.Along this journey people will pull out, some will fail the PCA, some will fail their medicals etc. You will have a better merit list number than me and you will certainly get there.

I really wouldn't be worried about your score. That's a solid pass. Have to remember that 231 people that went to the assessment centre were still in the process for 1710 so perhaps not all of them will have passed, but there could be a good chunk that have perhaps got the call and will pull out then on top of that some people will have to defer, withdraw or fail. So you could be in before you know it. It's a long game but make the most of the summer, get as fit as possible to make pca and gv easier and look forward to the future!

I really had counted myself out of the running due to personal matters, I changed my assessment centre date and was very nearly not going, thankfully my family talked me into it, and I haven't ran the length of myself in a long time. Just want to know how long I have to try and reverse some damage lol

I previously had my lip pierced and it closed over.. still have a really deep and obvious scar and Id quite like to get it done again as may as well with the scar on it but dont know what way it works... will it need remove on the job? Is it allowed at all? Can a clear retainer be left in like my old work? Thanks! Anything I can find online is about tattoos only

Im in reasonable shape and have been assured by quite a few you can almost walk it bar the run to the start again? That its more about how well you clear the obstacle rather than how fast you do it? How close is this to your experience? Obviously I appreciate no one from this campaign has done it yet but ive seen quite a few comments from people from other campaigns.
