im to late to wish you luck mya

but good luck anyway lol

let us know how you do

[Mya]

No worries goodwin. I failed anyway. On medical grounds. I've been told I can appeal, AFCO want me to go see them tomorrow. The reasons/explanation wasn't too clear so not quite sure how I'd manage to appeal.

[gudwin1988]

so they didnt even explain why you failed the medical?

if you appeal it will show how determined you are. It can't have been something serious or they would have told you wouldnt they. if they didnt think there was a chance they wouldnt tell you to appeal so i wouldnt worry to much just yet.

I hope evrything goes ok for you though just keep your training up and see what happens

Good luck

The AFCO have told me they want me to appeal too. Determination or not though if I can't pass the medical I'm not going to get in, I mean everyone has a right to appeal don't they.

Going to keep training and see what happens when I get my letter next week and have spoken to doctor. I took today off and ate 6 biscuits and had 3 coffees then felt bad as I'd given up anything like that lol

[gudwin1988]

you only have the right to appeal if its something that can be appealed against though, like if youu failed your eye test they wont let you appeal against it because its not up to standard.

6 biscuits isnt going to harm you, its good to indulge once in a while other wise you just end up binging on the foods you restrict yourself from having.

i eat really healthy during the week and then on sundays i eat what i want.

I really think if they didnt give you a specific reason for failing you, its probably something they were just unsure about.

A girl that i went to selection with failed because they said her blood pressure wasnt normal but she txt me a few weeks ago and said they passed her the second time.

So there is hope still

[Mya]

There was a specific reason but the AFCO said that it didn't make sense and so thinks that I have good reason to appeal, just going to see how it goes I guess.

[gudwin1988]

well hope it all works out for you, keep me informed though, i will keep checkin the site to see how your doing, or just pm me and i will get it whenever i come online

That's tough, Mya.

Keep us posted and good luck!
