Before I get in to the crux of the question I feel it is prudent to explain my situation. I have been trying to get into the Para's for two years and through no fault of my own I have been delayed at every juncture: a massive ankle injury, lost paperwork, the famous ADSC heart murmur, etc etc. The house I live in is in shambles and there is mold everywhere and for the last month or so I keep getting athletes foot style infection on wierd places on my body. I am a very hygenic person, but frankly, if I described to you how much mold was in our house I think you wouldn't believe me. I tried combating it, but it was to no effect. So the question really is:

Can these skin irritations get me delayed once more?

Thanks for any advice.

PS: I've gone to the doctor a couple months ago and they have given me some anti-fungal cream and said that should be the end of it, but as soon as I finish the course, it just comes back.

You seem to have enough problems to give the Army some thing to worry about

I don't have health problems. I damaged my ankle on an army test run, just happened to put my foot in a hole. That has now made a full recovery. I don't actually have a heart problem, I was cleared by docs and the reason I'm having problems now is because I live with my infirmed father in a house that is barely standing. What I am is a man who has suffered an endless supply of bad luck all while trying to follow a dream and after two years of it I'm trying to assess a my way around yet another problem that I could not prevent. This dry skin or rash or what ever doesn't actually hinder me in any way and is caused by my enviroment. Once I go to a proper building e.g. Catterick. The problem itself will be neutralised.

Before I came back to Britain I was a firefighter in California and when I left they sent a letter to my mother saying that I was fittest most hardworking employee they had. I am not some broken, crippled individual.

I'm just looking for some advice.

Or are you commenting on the mold thing specifically? (I'm not sure. I'm a little sleep deprived.)
