Advice needed from ex- para or current para.

Post by tontonton »

I was born with my chest a bit dipped, its not as bad as most and muscle will make it look much better after a lot of weight training before i attempt to join the para's. The afco sent a medical enquiry form off for me to see if i was medically fit enough due to my dipped chest, it turns out i wont have any problems where that is concerned. However i believe some people call it a 'pidgeon chest'.

Im not bothered about other recruits bullying me because of it as im more than capable of giving as good as i get, but would the officers and people in higher ranks pick me out because of it, i know they have to be hard on new recruits because its part of the process, so im asking if any ex-paras or current paras have or had a dipped chest or know anybody that served that had one.

Thanks.
