No idea no idea at all

Found out something interesting today that might help.

I failed my medical due to psorisis, have it on my body and head.

But the thing the Doc. told me was its the stuff on my head thats the problem, she said having it on my body didnt matter it was purely my head.

Passed my interview today, was all good for the hour I had to wait for my medical, BUT:

Medical = all good, the Doc. was happy with everything but that dreaded skin condition, psyrisis, because it was on my head It buggerd me up resulting in a fail, gutted :(

Oh well... I suppose its better to try ...

Saw this in the mfat shop section:

Any ideas?

Just preparing for my interview (Got it in a week), iv been searching around and got a few questions typed up, just looking for other potential questions that might come up.

Q: Why do you want to become a Royal Marine?

Q: What does ...

Interesting stuff

Hate to do it but im going to go slightly off topic here, iv been reading this topic but dont intend to apply for pilot.

But could you join the RM as a marine/commando then once in, get some qualifications required and then apply for a commission a few years down the line if you show potential ...
