Just an update I went to the insight course at the start of this month and my PB's are now:
1.5m - 8:39
57 press ups
83 sit ups
13 heaves
So now got a letter saying that I should come for an interveiw in 3 weeks does this mean that my medical forms have been cleared? they have taken nearly 2 months!
