Army & Navy Recruitment 2014 Interview

stripmymind

My email from the curragh just asks for my doctors details and that was it? ...
So that's all I'm bringing.
Well done to the other lads/girls who got a date for Galway ...
Is there anybody on here who failed the medical? I'm a little worried about the hearing. Bloods and urine is grand for me anyway I'm 100% sure but what are the testing both bloods AND urine for?.
Does this mean soon as we all pass the Medicals we will be starting around July or will it be further?

Packoman

When I did my medical all I brought was the printed off forms (Consent forms and medical questionnaire) that were attached to the email, a copy of the actual email and my passport. I didn't have anything to bring from my Doctor.

The blood will be tested for blood count and ESR, kidney function, liver function, hepatitis A, B and C, HIV and G6PD screen.

The urine is tested for urinalysis, drugs and pregnancy for female applicants.

That was in the forms I had to fill out.

Good info mate sound ... Sounds pretty straight forward, when the email said fast from 7pm the night before... Obviously this means no eating but can I continue to drink water up until

Congrats Ben1994.

Just had a text from my son that he's passed the medical this morning. Still has to wait for blood and urine results.

By the way, there were 9 there. 1 didn't show up.

Your son did his medical in Dublin didn't he, did they ask for the immunisation records?

He wasn't asked for the immunisation records but he had a printout of the e-mail I'd sent requesting them. He wasn't even asked for ID.

He said the hearing test was the hardest.

Can you drink water after the 7pm fasting deadline the night before? I'm not sure whether to fast as in stay away from food and water. Or just not eat? Did anyone else stay hydrated leading up to the urinalysis?

A tip I definitely found helped me was to put your head down and close your eyes during the listening test. It made me concentrate on relaxing my breathing and concentrate on the tiny little beeps. All the rest are pretty straight forward. Best of luck

Wouldn't panic anyway if you don't get them on time, some people have already done the medical in Dublin and they didn't get asked for them. Yeah I'm gonna do the same
