Answer 1

I was informed by my recruiting officer that injuries such as broken bones can result in an indefinite deferral, or most likely a complete discharge. You need to have three years clear from the point of when you break any bones. Best bet is to contact your recruiter to find out exactly what can/is to be done.

Answer 2

Fact one is that your bone is broken

Fact two is that you cannot do a thing about it

Fact three is that once you tell them, they WILL reschedule you to the next course but you must tell them

Good luck and well done for trying to make a difference

Answer 3

Tell your recruiter and he will just reschedule until another intake.

What you training for mate? Infantry? If so which regiment?
