No point, if you're fit enough to do 4 Para the why not just join the regular army. If you're concerned about doing it full time and your location then think about this http://www.rfca-wales.org.uk/uksfr.htm

To be honest though by what you've said already, you'll need to wait a while and work hard on your fitness before you think about any of this.

if your temporarily barred from regular selection due to health as you've stated, the same applies TA (4para). nearest to you is liverpool (i think) either that or a trek to leeds.

what it is.. iwas gonna apply about 6 months ago but all this medical crap put me off so i thought whats the point filling an app in but i thoguht bout itand why not try at least?:

its been over a year now since i took any medication or seen a doctor and ive explained this is my application, i have currently sent my application and waiting to receive a reply.. so fingers crossed.

just getting my fittness in shape at the moment, my first couple have runs have killed me me ha, i let myself get incredibly unfit due to smoking and doing naff all, but doing 20 press ups and sits up twice a day and a mile run everyday should sort it shouldent it? at least for the moment to wean myself in.

Just do that little bit more everyday and eventually you'll get there.
