6/60 is for un-aided vision,meaning without glasses. Aided vision in the right eye must be at least 6/12. I failed the test by 1 line i think maybe even less. Still pissed off even thinking about it. Not being able to join has really messed things up for me. Yes there are other jobs out there but no...

Ty, i'd do exactly as you say, but that's just me personally. I would not tell them about it ither, it maybe wrong, but I wouldn't risk it, seen too many people on here go the honest wy and end up havin problems or not even being allowed to join atall. Good luck mate. Oh and as for the dye in the ey...

Bollocks! It's not to see if you've had laser surgery, I've had that dye put in my eyes as well as various other drops and my optician already knew I hadn't had laser surgery. This wasn't for any medical or such like, I used to see a specialist optician and had that dye put in my eyes every few week...

He wouldn't be lieing about anything, because he doesn't have asthma anymore. His post has cemented in my mind that I would/will also do the same thing.

Yea Macca, realise it's pretty impossible to say if you could of made it or not, but if you didn't get an injury and family business and home life was OK, do you think that you would of? Like no mental distractions. I find it hard to get my head around it because I've not been there, like I'm guessi...

Do you think you could of finished the 32 weeks training if you didn't have outside thoughts?

No matter what, the trainasium is not as high as a plane before you jump out of it, don't forget the para part of the paratroopers. As in parachute,planes, heights and stuff.

Riggsy, you better learn nothing in life is guarenteed. Your not the only 1 in that type of situation, i've got shit eyesight, I probably won't have a snowballs chance in hell of passing the medical with even my glasses on. I've got to travel to london to a vision clinic from the North which will ta...

Thats the best post yet that has been made about this. Riggsy I hope you don't ask again after reading that. If you feel your fitness isn't ready then just don't do your PRMC yet, you can stil start the application, like the medical, phsyco tests etc etc. Then once you get passed all that you will g...

Bloody hell! This is going to turn out to be battle of the handbags soon. I think you made him angry ADDiction. Haha.

Tempers seem to be hotting up all over the place on these forums. Maybe it's the autumn blues.

Just noticed Sarastros "editing" haha, spot on.

Hmmm, getting ripped for having tatts? I'm sure I got a booklet from the AFCO and the PTI in the pictures had a few tatts here and there. Could be wrong though.

Not even if it stops you getting your career in the Marines? Good luck anyway, just go and apply, or ring another afco. Surley one of the other afcos must have dealt with similar situations. Just ring some others and you'll probably find your answer. It doesn't make sense that they dont know about t...

Well if you don't have tattoos on your face,neck or hands then it should be alrite. I'm sure it says about all this info on the website. If you keep asking on here though i'm pretty sure people will get the hump with you sooner or later. I've seen loads of lads on the videos of the Marines and other...

If you passed a medical already, and can exercise easily and run 10 miles etc why the hell would you want to tell them about it? Why risk it?

Just my two pennys worth.

Is it easy? haha, I'm messin' but I bet someone will ask somethin' along those lines.

No serious injuries yet then? Not long now mate, bet nothing can stop you. Green Beret soon. Then joining runs and unit life. wahhooo!
