just a joke mate... if you fail the medical they do send you home early but you can have another go later on after your injury has got better. one lad on my course got sent home becuase of his dodgey ankle. other than that theres no real excuse for failing prac, because you have already proved you have what it takes at ADSC, good luck for the 26th of june mate.

im afraid not, on my course i was truly pooing myself till the last moment of my interview, they don't give away the game, but thats sought of the idea, potential recruits should give everything theyve got, if they think they have done really well in one event they might slack off in the next, the incentive to give 110% is always there!
