    There may be be a number of people with higher A's than you who will be allocated to the December intake before you. If you're unfortunate, there may be 16 people ahead of you, in which case you'll be pushed to the next intake date.
    BARB test - 58
    Pre-Selection Briefing - 30th November/1st December 2011 - Passed

    ADSC(L) - 17th/18th April - Passed, high B Grade!

    Phase 1 - ATR Winchester, 7th October 2012

    Too tall to operate in a Scimitar, so Formation Reconnaissance is no longer an option.

    You said December yeah? Probably haven't started to load for that intake yet. As long as 15 people don't push in front of you with a higher A between now and the time they start to load, you'll be put on it. Just be patient and keep in touch with your recruiter.

    Maybe ask Army Jobs on Facebook when they think that intake will start to be loaded.

    Cheers mate, that was the answer I was looking for. I will ask the Facebook page. Trying to be patient but I feel like I'm so close now can't wait! Here's to hoping 15 people don't out-do my score by load on time! Haha

    Hi guys just joined this and have some questions,
    i have adsc coming up soon and have done well so far in all the tests and pre selection so have decided to go for combat medical technician can anayone tell me if i am likely to get in for this job choice with a B in selection as i think an A would be hard to get as my run time is somewhere between 10;30 to 11;15 usually and at pre selection it was 11:03. However i get 9;28 on a very straight course i have practiced at my dads. im only 15 so i would be junior entry and would apriciate any advice from anayone on this and on what the course is like at glencourse.
    cheers

    I think that's a question for your recruiter. He can check the waiting and allocations list and tell you just how popular the trade is and how well you will subsequently need to do. And because you're junior entry it might do you some favours or it might not. Best ask your recruiter. However getting an A isn't impossible, I didn't quite manage it but if I retook the ADSC now a month later and a LOT fitter, I think I'd breeze it. Train hard, and you'll put your self in the best possible position to get a speedy allocation to CMT.
