Oh no that’s awful after doing so well. They will let you repeat it in 3 months, that’s how it was in 2016 campaign so assume it’s the same

I recently failed on push pull flew the rest. Does anyone know if I’m automatically in for an appeal or do I have to ring/email?

If it's your first failure then they will contact you in 10 weeks or so, you don't have to rearrange yourself.

Sorry to hear you failed the push pull.

Was it the beeps you missed or was it not enough strength exerted in push/pull?

Can they put you on a cancellation list for a retest? I don’t need to build up fitness. Wouldn’t mind I swear the person looking at me counted two push ups as one one!

A guy at my medical got told he needed to come back and repeat the medical as his BMI was 30, he was fairly peed off understandably because he was not overweight at all

I rang them yesterday 016662571, they said I still had vetting outstanding but they said they are not allowed to say what parts they are . I said all I have left is my medical, and they said the next intake is July so hopefully it's all done by then

Hey, I got the same date as you 💪🻠You will be fine what level have you to get in the test? Download the app and get someone to do it with you a few time, that’s what I’ve been doing and then have been running the other days

Harley2016

Cause I'm old��I've to get level 6.6 I hit level 5.6 yesterday I should be fine I hope ha should be hitting 6.6 next week. What about your self what level you have to get to? I was running every second day but actually think that hindered my training I was going backwards as to forwards so I'm just doing the test every day now with extra sprints ar the end when I stop.

Harley2016

What app you talking about by the way I just put it on YouTube?
