Im going back to Glencorse tomorrow with my new pair of glasses lol you have to read to the 4th line down which is minimum the sister said. My right eye could do some letters on the 4th but not all. And my left eye read all of line 4. Im not too sure what they want me to do with my jam jars but soon find out tomorrow. The recruiter said it might be the case of turning up, just showing them my glasses and doing off. I wouldnt worry about it too much mate

They just ask you to read the grid with your glasses on, then you have to remove the glasses and read the grid again. It's basically just to show that the glasses work. I had selection last week but got told i had a heart murmer. Went to the hospital the next day and my heart is fine. There isn't even a murmer. 14 other lads got done for the same thing. I was gutted. I have to wait another couple of weeks to go back.

Haven't got my dates yet mate. Giving my recruiter a ring tomorrow. I think the next available intake is May 3rd, so you might be on that intake. I just want to get selection out the way and get a date for depot.
