Army medical please help?

Question

hi,just wondering what does the doctor exactly do in the medical at selection center (british army). for example:

so if he finds anything like a bruise on my leg he will deferre me?

Answer 1

General check over to ensure you have no obvious defects. Weight, heart beat, height, eyesight,colour perception eyes ears and possibly body mass index. They will probably ask about the bruise and the medical history of you and your close family.

Answer 2

don't worry about bruises they're fine. Its more along the lines of general health like how your heart is and breathing and **** like that. its all good matey!

As long as you eat healthily and exercise regularly you should be fine.

The doctors arent trying to fail you, they're just seeing if your body can handle vigirous exercise.

Answer 3

its more to do with your health, heart, weight etc, but i heard that he does, the cough test ,i think it is called, he holds you balls and says cough, but i'm not to sure i haven't been to selection yet, this is just what i heard from those that have been,
