Your using the American word for mother "mom" so do you mean the American "pants" as in trousers? But i'd say write your name on EVERY THING so that way there should be no confusion.

Some people get a rough start date before ADSC and some after depends on your AFCO I guess.
It should be a few weeks untill the next PRAC after your selection mate, It's not a ridiculously long time to wait .

Best of luck anyway pal, I'm sure you'll smash it.

Attended adsc yesterday and got fricking defferred for what the medical officer called an innocent heart murmur as he could only just hear it.

Got appointment down manchester royal infirmary on wednesday though to have it checked properly so thats cool, just abit down hearted (no pun intended) but more determined!!

Plus only got defferred for 6weeks, one poor lad got defferral of 2 YEARS for once having migraine!!

6weeks more prep so not too annoyed, honest!

just little tip dont drink fizzy drinks before ya medical or even tea or coffee as this makes it show as you have a heart mumour just stick to water and nothing else

Timecop · Post by **Timecop** » Wed 05 Aug, 2009 8:59 am

Yep did that drank nothing but water and made sure had clean diet for 2 weeks before.

Apparently they can show just anytime in young people who are constantly active???

However got scan down manchester today so we shall see.

Cheers.

does anyone know what size suitcase/ bag we should bring for all our kit? i.e: does it have to fit in a locker, i ask becuase my parents are trying to make me bring this huge big suitcase which i dont think would fit in a locker.

gpw2009 · Post by **gpw2009** » Wed 05 Aug, 2009 3:41 pm

when I was there last time, everyones civi kit got locked in a room, not your locker. I just took a normal size holdall bag. You don't need any civi clothes really, one set is enough, a tracksuit and maybe a few t-shirts. Underwear obviously but thats about it mucker!
