medical conditions

Post by liam151807 »

i'm 16 and interested in joining the paras in a few years. i have a minor birth injury where a ligament in my right arm was torn, it has repaired but my arm isn't perfectly straight, i can use the arm as i do press ups etc. my fitness is good, i have ran the 1.5 mile run in 9.36 and on a good day can 4.5 miles in around 30 mins.

Do i have any chance of joining the army at all?

If you pass the fitness test and the medical then you should stand a good chance, but if there is any weakness there then it may cause a problem
