Hi just wondering if anyone has got a medical date recently? Seems there hasn't been any in a week or two. For those who have been through the medical for campaign 14 do you know how much of the eyesight chart you had to read without glasses?

Thanks:)

There dont seem to have been any medicals last week that I can remember.
As for the eyesight thing, I know on the old thread there was a link to a eyechart test. you might have to trawl through a few pages either way but its about halfway through if memory serves.

I was worried about my sight as I wear lenses but I took the blurb on the eyesight to my opticians who assured me I would pass it. I'm long sighted which probably helps.

Its gonna be fun the next week or two, end of the month means merit number and dear john letters:eek:

Batten down the hatches guys!:D

Yeah, I was wondering too; I know it is the end of September when the merit list is ready, but when is everyone going to ring up? Literally the 30th?

integra1

good question indeed lol...

also guys in terms of merit numbers is it safe to say that to know if you have done well or not that if you are:

protestant background you need to be about 300 or below on list

RC background can be anything well beyond that even 600 and onwards etc??

just be good to know were one really stands around 30th september!!

cheers

hey, had my medical yesterday. Was my first time....pretty daunting. For those with it coming up, be ready to lose a good chunk of hair!!!! Anyone any idea what the first intake will be for c14? Also the nurse said medicals would be going on for 2 months with 16 a day!! Have a mate who got the call there for nov but he was a c13.

2 months at 16 a day. Wow, they're rattling through them!
Hope all went well for you anyway.
Where'd they take the hair from. Mine is fairly short anyway. Good policewomans haircut LOL
And congrats to your mate. He'll be keeping JVB company.

Holy moly. I'm seriously worried now. Not that I'l have a medical for yonks yet being a very late AC and vetting.

And hello Carlty!! Where you've been all night then? Playing with the 3 dimensional people I expect!

Hope they go easy on girls with long hair. I dont want a big bald or sticky up bit at the top of my head. Maybe they will take it from in below a wee bit.

How'd you find the hearing test? After a while all I could hear was my heart pounding in my chest.

I've been having trouble getting a certain 3 year old off to sleep tonight. Finally found the chloroform, so she should be good now .....for an hour or so.

Don't worry about the bald spots. If you've any length in your hair, the old Bobby Charlton comb-over will work a treat. :cool:

So.. eh... how long would say...Weed, Coke and E's stay in your system for?... You know.. Would one need to shave one's head?.. Just wondering.. you know... Like.. curiousity.. know what I mean?..

hearing test was weird...they advised me to keep my eyes closed because of the spots on the door which was sound advice!! I wasn't sure half the time whether i was imagining the beeps, so just clicked anyway!!

Unfortunately they'd move on to your armpits, chest, legs, back, crack and sack. Whatever it takes!
