A silly question but I'm just curious...

Post by scORCHing »

Ok, On Monday I had my interview and medical and I was just wondering why they check if you have a pair of testicals?

The Doctor did the cough test on me but had his hands just above my penis to check for Hernia (I think thats what he said) and then had a quick feel down below to check if I have a set of bollocks.

Why?

bloody hell mate he needs reporting, was he making a grunting noise?

I have a medical tomorrow afternoon and if he tries any funny stuff hes getting a right beating. I've accepting the cupping, as I've had it done before but if he says "now I'm going to slowely rub your penis to check if you have a hernia" I'm going to be straight out of there, after hes finished of course..... errr I mean I'll kill him :-?

I have a mate who's just had is army medical and he said they made him do star jumps naked, is he BSing me?

Many years ago I wanted to join the Fleet Air Arm as a Buccaneer pilot. On the medical requirements in the application form it said that:
'The absence of one testicle is not a reason for exclusion'

Or something similar

Maybe he wasn't interested in if you had two, just that you had at least one.

Why on earth this requirement wasn[is?] stipulated I don't know.

Some of the best warriors in ancient China were eunuchs.

Is there anyone out there can enlighten us??

:o Well he didn't actually feel my bollocks properly, just quickly checked if it was all there.

My mate who's in the RAF said they did the same on his medical so I thought it was normal.

I had the same.
Finger tips placed either side and above of my 'man hood' coughing each time. Then a quick poke of my testicals while coughing again and it was over. Its a hernia test and can effect all areas around the penis, apparently . I didnt have to do any naked jumping and had my boxers on throughout my medical even when checking for a hernia.
