Finally got my medical forms back off the doctors, think they got sick of me pestering in the end! I know it sounds stupid but I really think you have to do that. Read so many post on here about blokes in the same position, just waiting! It took me 4 phone calls and 3 visits to the surgery, and on the last call they said it would be waiting for me the following day, after I had 'politely' explained that it was holding up my application! :D

ADSC here we come............!! :P

Just found out today that my paperwork has been sorted and now just awaiting a date to go to ADSC (voicemail on my mobile is playing up so missed the message! :evil: ). Well pleased! :D 8)

I know there are a few lads on here in a similar situation, and I think I had lost faith, but you will get there in the end. It has been said that it's really busy at the selection centres, so just keep cracking on and we'll all get there one day! :D
