I have my clinical triage phone appointment on Monday and the health questions I see here have given me a bit more confidence that I will pass. Thanks for the support.
I got turned down from army, navy and RAF because I had... HAD asthma when I was a kid, despite being medically clear from it for over 10 years at the point I applied.
The military's entry requirements today are a complete joke. I've met a few people who were also turned down in the medical.
No wonder they have a recruitment crisis, like you have to be physically perfect just to write out the application now. If you've had any medication for anything, had any diagnosis for physical or mental issues, even visited a GP, don't bother. They will likely defer you, or in my case, completely reject you.
Hi Kyle I love your informative videos about the British Army .
Thanks man
@@KyleSmithFIT You are welcome I first thought I had no chance of joining due to having some barred and banned conditions but I have hope I just need to take it easy and work on my health, both physically and mentally I don't approve of Blanket bans mostly because I do not want to be in an infantry role something different but important like working as an army pharmacist or mail courier. I wanna help people the closest thing I can do at the moment is Army Cadets as a CFAV (Cadet Force Adult Volunteer )
I just wanna prove to the people who said that I won't be able to join wrong and feel proud of myself keep up the amazing content Kyle :)
Respect for all these videos mate doing your bit to help people it and appreciate your service
Thanks mate appreciate you commenting and watching 👍🏻
great video, very informative and helpful information!
Hi Kyle,
Just got my BMI down!! Weighed today target weight was 99.5 kg I managed to get down to 96 kg. All done and sent off should be good to go soon as👍 Still say BMI is a outdated draconian style method. Thanks for videos mate.
Nice work mate, yeah it’s way outdated 👍🏻
Hope things run smoothly for you now.
Thanks Kyle
Hi Kyle, I'm due to start basic soon, and just wanted to ask how come you left the army? I'm mainly curious because you was in 7 rha, and since I'm hopefully going into RA it would be nice to hear your input on the cap badge and regiment.
I’ll do a video on this next mate 👊🏻
Hi mate, I’ve been looking into medicine for a while. I’m a trained biomedical scientist (band 6 so I got some diagnostic responsibility) I’ve always been attracted to pathology. Can a graduate in a related field but at a lower level go out and do medicine to become a pathologist? Best mates came from the forces and the family is focused to the navy so it’s something I’d believe I would love to do.
Hi Kyle
Just wondering if you can do a video on joining British army from Republic of Ireland... and specifically if you want to go as a medical student ie radiographer or nurse. Thanks.
Hi, I will have to do some digging and get some information about it first👍🏻
Thanks for watching ❤️
I've got to see a dr about my feet for a few things... metatarsalgia and numbness mostly on the underside of my toes. Dont really wanna go though as it'll go on my record and affect my application. I've already got to appeal for mental health.
your health is more important than joining the military Courtney, do what you need to do.
Im an asthmatic patient,but i run 8km and hit the gym everyday,do alot of push ups,pull ups squatting but i dont see any asthma symptoms when training,i can inhale smoke and perfumes without any trigger ,but it only comes when i sleep during the evening, if i take a puff of the inhaler ,within 2 seconds then i return to my normal state.
I'm really confused.
Hi mate when I was 2 I had a reaction to peanut butter but it was only mild. But because I was so young my doctor prescribed me a epipen incase it got worse as I got older. It didn’t get worse and I’ve never had another reaction to nuts do you personally think I could still be accepted ?
You may get deferred mate, but if you have not had a reaction since you may be able to get it overturned.
Hi matey, going in for the army brief next week having completed the first part of my application (inc. med survey). I had a couple GP appointments and physio sessions regarding my knee 18-36 months ago. I did so as there was a slight pain and discomfort so just wanted to make sure there wasn’t a serious issue and there wasn’t. Having lost weight doing a very strenuous physical job, and done a lot of leg work in the gym I am now absolutely fine, no pain no impairment. Just wondering how worried you think I should be. I’ve got mate in the army who said I’ll be fine but just wanted a second opinion. Cheers for vid👍
I'm halfway through myself with the detailed medical history if you can, get a DRs letter or speak to your recruiter about it
Thank you for the video. I think the process for commenwealth candidates are the similar.
Yeah I am sure you will have to pass similar medical requirements mate 👍🏻
Really? Are you on Instagram or WhatsApp? I will like to chat with you more so as to get more information about commonwealth.
@KyleSmithFIT great information. i recently pass my medical screening and is waiting for my assessment date. Just wandering if I will get decline for having a hole in one of my teeth? thank you.
Hi Kyle, is this process their existing one please? On the form I handed into my doctors, it’s said “we need to see a copy of your full medical records kept by your gp to see if you are fit”… so I’m unsure what they’re exactly receiving at this stage (this is the last step before ac). Is it the full report? Or just the checklist please? :)
ruclips.net/user/shortsvhRDMutlQ_w?si=HWYpbIJhCRSQMEIL
Yes mate listen the only problem I’m scared about is the bone fractures because I use to fight a lot and I done my hands in but they are sweet I can still use them and nothing is wrong with them
As long as it was over a year ago since you fractured them you should be fine mate
@@KyleSmithFIT respect my bro
Hi kyle...do they test amount of protein in urine?
If you have an ac joint dislocation, but your back to 100% strength on shoulder, can you still pass the test.?
Dear Sir!
How does the medical process looks like joining as an Irish citizen? Am I going to get the letter from my Irish GP & in case if I get deferred? And how about the medical history?
so last year i was going on 9-12+ hikes and i took diazepam to help with muscle cramps, i decided to do a 7 day water only fast (autophagy) after a few months of doing hiking as id read the benefits of doing a strict water fast.
on day 5/6 (i had only drank water and nothing to eat, did not sleep either at all) i began to feel (from full of energy) to weak and my muscles seized up, i took a diazepam and what not to break the fast and i had a seizure. would this be treated as provoked and assessed individually ? thanks in advance - tried to keep as short as possible - my medical records just says "provoked seizure" - its pretty obvious why i had a seizure though...
Umm never heard of this one mate. It will definitely come up and you will have to provide further medical evidence from your GP.
When it comes up and your GP writes further medical evidence he will get the opportunity to explain your situation and how it was “provoked”.
Hey man I have asthma but I’m very fit I can do most things without getting out of breath but j heard that of u have asthma u can’t get in Have u got any help
This is a question I’ve also needed help with getting answers. I get Inhalers as a repeat prescription but have never needed to use them
@@laurenprice587 me also
I failed because of dermatitis and autism it's very strict the medical
Do you know much about the pre employment checks ? Waiting to join rac.. do they do standard ,basic or enhanced do you know ?
I have got elbows that click when extended and does not cause pain or harm, will this affect me getting in?
Hi Kyle just passed Ac medical 6 weeks ago and start my phase 1 in few weeks, do I have to go through the full medical Agsin, or is it scaled down at all? Particularly the hands out I Frinton part I had a small shake and had to go fet G P to say no but history and all went well! Just not sure I cba with this again thanks
Yeah it’s not as in depth if I remember rightly, you should be fine 👍🏻
Hi Kyle I’m looking to apply this week just wondering will my mentle health background and now stop me and will my underlying heart condition stop me aswell
It depends, how severe the medical issues are. Best to apply and see what the medical team say.
I have a fair bit of acne on my back but it’s really not that bad and it’s just teenage hormonal acne could that stop me from joining
It’s just spots not like big swollen Typa stuff
I’m joining as infantry, I have a surgery on an ingrown toe in may, would they be fine with having my Assessment weekend in June?, got told my training date if successful will be September, cheers
Umm, I’m not 100% sure mate. It depends if you are fully recovered and what you dr says I guess.
I am guessing you are wanting to go AFC Harrogate.
Hi Kyle,
Hope you keeping well.
I believe my RGMD will be expiring soon, what does that mean?
Please explain, thanks.
Umm RGMD, I believe that is your medical. Is it around about 1 year since you did your medical ?
Hi would pass malaria treatment (2 years ago) affect my medical assessment.
Hiya, once you've done the online application how long before you get invited for your assessment roughly? Then how long after you've completed your assessment do you get a start date for and engineer??
Well you will have to go through the medical process first which normally takes about 3 month’s minimum. Can be aware from 3-6 months depending on how pro-active you are.
Hi mate, I am desperate to join the army but the medical always worries me, a few years back I went the GP just for low mood loads of things going on in the family at the time, it went down as depression, I’m worried that i will get rejected for this, other than that I’ve always been a fit lad no problems at all with anything else
Did you ever get a reply for this mate? I’m also curious about this for myself as in a similar situation
No mate, I went to the careers office tho and they told me just to apply, and if anything shows up just to show evidence in the appeal, still worried tho mate
@@liamwaring1251 ahh okay, fair enough, what medical evidence did you get for them?
Hi I passed my triage call and say no to every question asked but the army requested my full medical history from my gp and then I was rejected because had been the doctors years ago with pain in my leg does this seem right thanks
Umm yeah they are very strict mate, go to your dr get him to write you a letter confirming that you are ok now and basically provide evidence that you are ok to join the army
Please 🙏 help me am on a process
Greetings Sir!
May I ask a question about PARAS? I know it's not for this video especially. May I ask how often is there PARA training in a year? Or you just pass all the tests at the assessment centre, and ready to go on PARA training?
to go Parachute Regiment you need to pass the assessment centre and also go through PRAC (google this if you dont no what it is).
If you are successful at both you will be given a start date for the para's normally a good amount of intakes a year.
@@KyleSmithFIT Thanks mate 💪🏻
Hi Kyle, if I tore my meniscus 12 years ago didn’t need surgery and hasn’t caused any problems since, will I still be able to pass the medical?
If it isn’t on your medical record no need for anybody to know
I mate just a quick question number. 7 if I have had asthma as a kid and I’m 2 and a bit years clear of prescription and it doesn’t affect me do I tick or leave it and I’m I probably gonna get deferred
Should be find mate but as you said you will probably be deferred and be asked to Provide further medical evidence from your Gp.
Easy fix mate to be honest shouldn’t take you long to get sorted.
@@KyleSmithFIT cheers 👍
@@KyleSmithFIT just another question but cant the medical officer see your last prescription date
@@hhhjhtrusuhh1977 you would think so mate. Like I said you will probably get deferred but that’s not to say you won’t.
They are very strange in the way they do things in my opinion, you may get straight through.
Hello I had a past acl tear and surgery for it Im fully recovered will that stop me from joining the army?
Umm I’m not 100% sure so it would be best to go through the proper process however, from what I have seen not one person has got in with a previous ACL tear.
This is for the Army you may have more looking in the Navy/RAF due to the nature of the job.
They really need to get rid of capita recruitment.
Hello, back in early 2018 I went with my gf at the time to my gp to talk about binge drinking. I was going out alot having fun ect I did it to appease her as she didnt like what I was doing so finally i ageeed to go (as it was on our street). Now I see it has been recorded on my gp history! Never would have done it if id have known! Im not at all alcohol dependent or have been or done any drugs. In fact I dont drink at all now, cba with it. I work as a driver 3.5 Tonne vans with no problems for last 4 years perfect work history ect. Will this blip on my history be a problem? Thanks.
hi mate, it may come up but i don't think it would stop you getting into the military if it was a one off occasion. The only time i think it may affect you is if you went back repeatedly and it was causing mental health issues.
@@KyleSmithFIT thankyou very much for your reply. I disclosed this on the triage call this morning and explained it to the nurse, I got a messege pretty much straight away saying I passed, im aware the first part of assessment is the medical where they will see this on my gp history and probe me some more about it. Was advised to self refer to a support group but never attended as it was not needed. Anyway fingers crossed it doesnt screw up my chances that would be a real ball ache!
@@jackharris5073 yeah you will be good mate, no need to worry. The worst that could happen is you get deferred and get asked to get some more medical evidence from your doctor to send over confirming what you have said.
Bit of a stupid question but i start basic on the 11 of sep in Winchester im joining the RA and was wondering what the medical is like at basic is it the same as the assessment centre or is it different
Erm I don’t think it is as much in depth but they are just checking to make sure you have not picked up any injuries between AC and basic.
@@KyleSmithFIT cheer pal yh i was just curious coz i was thinking do i need to do the ecg again and hearing and hight and weight took forever to do last time so when you said they do another medical i was like shit am i gunna be doing all that again
@@keananpoulston4090 you might do some of them again like I said but shouldn’t be as much in depth.
Hey bro I’m worried a little bit cause I wear glasses would I be able to join ?
normally if your sight can be corrected by glasses you should be ok. As long as its not seriously bad where you cannot see at all without glasses.
Do you know how they stand with heart problems. I’m not aware of any I have but I failed my ecg and need an echo scan now. Very worried about it as I do get palpitations which I’m confident are just from vaping and the adrenaline which I’m trying to quit anyway. Do many people get rejected from a failed echo?
No, i have seen people been deferred from the assessment centre due to failing the ECG but normally this is due to nerves, too much caffeine or just bad luck. Hopefully should be good to go after the echo mate, i am guessing you have to wait for a while for your appointment?
@@KyleSmithFIT just got my echo today and passed onto basic in April
@@aaronkirwan6108 Awesome mate, congratulations! what you joining ?
@@KyleSmithFIT thanks man. Joining infantry, royal Irish regiment hopefully
@@aaronkirwan6108 nice one mate, well good luck, hope you enjoy training.
I don’t remember filling that form in but I had some dizzyness and feeling faint last year but I’m sure when I did fill the form in I put No as I didn’t feel that way when filling it out is that a problem? I don’t have those symptoms either it was just for a short period of time
I went to the doctors for it as I had balance issues but don’t anymore but didn’t get diagnosed w anything
It maybe something that just came in recently as I had never seen this form till a couple of weeks ago. If you put no and you have no symptoms and we’re not diagnosed with anything I would not worry 👍🏻
@@KyleSmithFIT thank you mate, I sent my forms out in December and still hasn’t been received by the army hahah waiting game for me
@@26shailen yeah it takes a while, maybe give your Gp a call make sure they have sent them off to the army
@@KyleSmithFIT I will do pal cheers
Hello what does it mean ur application is on Hold
Hi there. It basically means they have acknowledged your application, but unfortunately there’s no roles available at the moment. However, as soon as roles become available, they will reach out to you. My application was also on hold for a few months before I got a call. In the meantime, just try your best to keep fit until they contact you. Cheers mate
Are you allowed to join with hyperacusis
I’m not to sure, I am guessing probably not from doing a Google search
Please can u help me join
Not much else I can do but make videos
Mild eczema?
Normally a no, depends how bad it is, if it’s on your records and if they see it on the physical medical.
My one is very mild and its not that bad at all. Do you think they would or could accept me?
@@Pubg_Abbas_T61a5 i really cant say mate, but you may have a lot better chance if you join the NAvy or RAF. The army is a lot stricter about eczema due to the nature of the army role.
A lot of my joints make a clicking/snapping noise when moving them but don’t cause me any pain and I have been told of my doctor it’s nothing to worry and is common could this get me rejected or deferred at assessment centre
Umm hard to say mate, best thing to do is go through the medical process and see what happens. If you get rejected or deferred go back to your GP and get him to write you a letter confirming what you just said.
Sir can I join military if I have shoulder dislocation injury ?
Hey, do they have mental health section on that?
Yes mate they look in to your pass medical history, they will also ask you questions at the assessment centre. Obviously if you answer no to the questions they as you and if you have no previous issues on your history you will be fine.
@@KyleSmithFIT I’ve had a couple appointments over last couple years but was never diagnosed
