Joining Process

Post by hoot »

Hello lads, me and a friend are going through the application process now for the para's he received a phone call to go into the AFCO, and has been told to complete a 3 month diary before he can go to ADSC.

But, i haven't been told to do this, has anyone else experienced this or know why this has happened to him ?

Thanks in advance

It say's day activity problems fella, for example if you pull a muscle etc.

I think now it's to do with him being deferred from ADSC on medical grounds

Thanks for your time anyway bud

I had to do a diary, but luckily enough for me i had already been training from a 3 month training plan, so i didn't have to wait 3 months to do a diary. He probably has to do it because he had an injury in the past and the doctors want to see if he can exercise without any problems. Well, that was the reason why i had to do it.

No worries mate. I knew someone who had to do something similar. Tell your mucker to stick it out, but I know it's a total ball ache! :D
