the waiting game

Post by ninjauk »

hi, i gave med docs to my GP to fill out last November, he FINALY posted them on 28th December, Does anyone know roughly how long it takes from here to the next step?
i know it differs from person to person. but i'm getting fed up of waiting, it seems like my life is on hold

Alrite mate, i know how you feel i got my med docs sent out last week, fair enough i was only doing the barb test today but i still wish my doctor would hurry and get them sent back. Obviously ive not been waiting as long as you, but hopefully we wont be waiting for long. :lol:

i dont even know what im waiting for now though. im going to give the AFCO a ring tomorrow and see what they say, maybe it'll job their memories a bit and speed things up.

on the plus side though, i got my discharge papers to sign from the TA, which i never asked for, so the regs must have been in touch with them.

Hi Ninja,

I know how you're feeling - it took nearly two months for my medical records just to get transferred to my new surgery, and another couple of weeks after that for my Doc to get round to doing the form for me!

However when the recruiter finally received my forms, things started to move quite quickly - I think he got all the paperwork about three weeks ago, and I'm off to ADSC tommorrow! Bricking it a bit as my training has slipped these past few weeks, but I'll just have to put my head down and go balls out on the run.

Anyway, I would'nt have thought you'd have too much hanging about to do once your form's have cleared. Have a word with your AFCO and see where they're up to - at the very least it'll show you're keen! Hang in there!

Danny

i found out what the delay is now, they are waiting for my med docs from the TA, but i need to sign a form to say that they can have them, so hopefully once they get them everything will start moving again
