The US doesn't have that kind of training in the BAC course. The obstacle course is a lot like the "Darby Queen" at Ranger School. This looks like SFAS which is the Pre-selection for the Special Forces Qualification Course. I don't think that all of that is necessary to weed people out of...

Ive dreamed to be a US Army Soldier since I was a child. It was something I always wanted. I literally had dreams of me graduating boot camp and achieving my lifes dream. The problem is that I tried enlisting already, but had a medical discharge. I never was able to get through basic training. Its ...

Ok lads and lasses basically I know our main emphasis is on how many push-ups, sit-ups and all round bodyweight exercises we can bang out. However i've been attending a class twice a week at my gym called Push and lift, which is basically a class that focuses on biceps,triceps,shoulders,chest,upper...

Just keep jogging there is no other tip than that its the best way to get fit and the only way to get fit if you want your run time down. What I am doing is adding a mile each week for my long runs so I'll be doing 4 miles next week, 5 miles the week after etc. you catch my drift. As for the 1.5 mil...

Mate you wouldnt know when the next para intake is when you have completed ADSC and the PRAC after completing PRAC then you will know when the next intake is. With the ADSC it can be any time of any date it depends where you live. Hope all goes well mate I'm going for Para aswell.

I just wanted to know how hard it is from people that have been in the Paras or in the Paras at this moment, also could any one give me any specific tips that could give me an edge when training to become a para.

[quote="wannabe-rifleman Give them a ring and let them know the results, don't wait around for them to contact you.[/quote]

I have but they said they will give me the results by letter like all of the other recruits that has been deferred its how the army works these days.

Well I got my Cardio results back and my VSD is gone, I also have no heart mumurs and my blood pressure is good. So I am just waiting for the army to contact me and see if they will accept me hopefully they will as I have been training very hard.

Because I am determined to make a change in my life and do something about it instead of w@#k off tax payers money and siting around all day doing nothing with my life which people do because they are lazy bastards. I have always wanted to join the army since I was a young lad it's my dream to be a ...

Right I need to be more specific, basically I have a very small VSD when I was born. My doctor told me it heals when you grow up so I think it has cleared now but I got a cardio appoinment next week to clarify this. Also my VSD contributed to my asthma which when I was younger was really bad, I had ...

Didn't mean to but he told me he doesn't know much about medical and that all the stuff should be done by the medical staff at Pirbright. Didn't mean to offend anyone.

Basically my deferral said: The reason for your deferral of your application on medical grounds is due to your past history of VSD (ventriculo-septal-defect) You may reapply when you meetthe following criteria" When you are able to provide correspondence from your out-patient departments of fol...
