Hello, im a 21 year old male from Northampton, recently applied to join the Royal Engineers to do carpentry and joinery. Still in the early stages of my application.
Today i passed my BARB test with a score of 75, got home and sent my medical forms straight to the doctors.
So now im just browsing this forum for extra information that can assist me.

Apparently i got an 'A' grade, so i should be at the top end of the list.

Sounds about right then for an A grader.
Well done mate. finally someone who obviously went to ADSC and carried out more than the bare minimum!!!

Aching like hell now though.. but thats because i didnt train hard enough at home.
So if anyone who hasnt been to selection yet reads this.. You really do need to push yourself HARD or else you will struggle.
