When we were waiting about 4 people got rejected or deferred so when I went in I was sh**ting it, I thought my knee would fail me but it passed, everything passed with flying colours then he took my blood pressure and said it was too high.
He told me to calm down and would take it again, but how can you remain calm sitting there in your boxer shorts haha, anyway he took it again in the space of 5 minutes and obviously it was still too high.
There is no way I have that condition or I wouldn't be able to peform the hard training I have been doing in the last 12 months I would have blacked out by now, like I said it was just nerves, I could feel my heart racing and couldn't calm it down!
So now I have to go to my GP and have this device fitted to me which reads your blood pressure over 24 hours in the comfort of your own home then take it back to him and get the results which more than likely will be fine. Then I have to send the results back to ADSC and that will be the medical passed, then I will just have to attend to do the physical tests.
It's an absolute piss take though, 6 hours on the train then 5 hours back all on the same day, 3 other lads got exactly the same, and 4 others for other reasons.
Few more weeks to go then, gutted.
