Do you mean a reply back from ADSC??? 7-10 days if all is ok

If you mean from your Doctor? I have to ask why are you not booking a 30 minutes appointment with him and getting it done there and then ???

How long does it take to hear back from the Army doctors, I've already done it and handed it back to my recruiter?
My GP took about a week, a bit less if that's what you were wondering Paul.harper, I thought you meant you'd handed it in to your AFCO already.

Edit to add: Just saw MSI64's reply, my question answered.
- Also like to ask how will you hear back from the staff looking over your forms, will you get a letter or just a phonecall from your AFCO?

I've already got it from my GP, I'm waiting for a reply from the AFCO.My Sgt took a look at it and said I should be ok before I sent it so there should be no problems.

I edited your post so that those who can read and write English will understand it.
No need to thank me,all part of the service.

Again if your getting your medical documents done by your Doctor

BOOK A THIRTY MINUTE APPOINTMENT WITH YOUR DOCTOR AND DO IT THERE AND THEN.

You could have it back to the office the same day!!!!!!
