Late response coming:

So, what if I were to declare pretty much the only episode which attracted medical attention? Any treatment I've got after was the result of that one episode. I'm not a exactly a regular guest down A&E for overdoses etc. So there's nothing in my medical notes that suggest I've ...

From what I gather, it's:

Infantry/Parachute Regiment
Cavalry & Armour - I don't understand this one, I never knew driving around on top of a tank or humvee was considered getting "close with the enemy and killing him"?
Royal Navy Mineclearance Diver - I don't understand this one either, as they ...

Good luck.....

So what if you don't declare it, and bring it up at the medical instead?

If you doubt her, then ask her to go on webcam with some of her military kit. That's the only foolproof way to find out if she's lying or not. Her pic does looks Scandinavian, though. But I know from personal experience that some people are very 'talented' at faking themselves online, from being ...

But I thought recruiters weren't medically qualified personnel (it even says so on the Guidance Notes)? That's my point. I know they can pick and choose who they want to have, and I know there's no shortage of people interested in enlisting due to the economy, but I don't see why a recruiters word ...

Can Recruiters reject you if they think you're medically unsuitable? I know they can if you're overweight, but what about for things in the guidance notes that make certain conditions permanently unsuitable? Can your Recruiter decide this, or is the final decision made in the medical screening at ...

I understand the whole thing about women not being allowed in the Infantry, but I've never understood why women can't join Armour or Cavalry, but they can join the Artillery? (in the USA, women can't do Artillery, like being MLRS crewmembers but the same/a similar job is open to women here ). Isn't ...
