    In the past if BMI was over 30 you would have been sent to do the PCA before accepted into G'ville. But now everyone has to pass the PCA before the medical.

    An additional point. Be heard for them just to chin you off for a plus 30 BMI considering to get to the medical you will have had to pass PCA...

    If you're a bodybuilder you're going to have a +30 BMI. If you're BMI is above the threshold your BF% is taken into consideration.

    A saying I used to get drilled into me was "my 6pack has never saved my life but my lungs have." I'd rather be fit than look good lol.
    My BMI was over 30 at medical and i wasnt even refered to the DR for it.
    Nurse took my height and then weight and then the next words out of her mouth were...
    "oh your bmi is higher than I thought it would be, what rugby team do you play for" lmao.

    BMI is a terrible measurement unless you are someone who is in a life threatening obese state.
    Height-weight-waist ratio is a far better reading.

    I have a BMI of 28.8 but about 11% or 12% body fat. I don’t think BMI is a good indicator of physical fitness at all..

    It's not, it may have been accurate about 30 years ago when people's diets and general state of health in the average person was better but now it's outdated.

    Anyone know if it will be a problem if your medical history has changed since your application? Don't want to go in to much detail but after a review with Mental health services they admitted they were wrong about a mild autism diagnosis they labelled me with coming out of secondary school.
    I'm hoping this is just the sort of thing I can walk in and talk to them about without it being too much of a bother.

    Have a letter from your gp or the mental health services.
    Autism won't effect your medical anyway unless it impacts your ability to do the job.

    Had my medical yesterday, thankfully passed (although i discovered I'm a bit deaf in my left ear :o ).
     Only 7 people were in yesterday, normally 15 per day according to SMT guy. At the PCA for Fast Track Group 1, one of the PTIs said there were 75 in that group. 2 days last week 15 plus 1 day 15 and 7 one day = 52 people. Assuming maybe 10 people didn't pass the PCA from group 1 - Medicals should be all but wrapped up bar maybe one more day or two days of seven. 
    Heard on the grape vine that 3rd or 4th July would be the first day of the next class (doubtful with it being July) but possibly induction then starting August.
    Pure conjecture tbh but might give an idea what we're all in store for going forward
    With them numbers doesn’t seem like a lot of room for people not fast tracked to get a chance at GV

    How? At most there were only around 100/120 fast tracked.

    That sounds like something you can appeal if you can get a professional to put that in writing should you come up against any issues.

    No hope for us in the 50-60 bracket then. I’m going to remain optimistic!
