ARmy Rumour SErvice

Basically they do urine,sight and hearing tests.They also measure your body fat and calculate your BMI.The doctor listens to your heart and asks you to do a fews press ups.Then thats it.Well thats what happened to me.

Do they test your joints and how? Because I heard of someone failing for a knee injury, unless he declared it.

Its basicly a body MOT,

He does blood pressure etc, then will make you do lots of daft things like move around like a money, to sqauts on your tip toes, um walk along the floor like a duck, press ups , bend over to touch your toes etc.

Then he will ask you to take of your thong and make you cough as he gropes your balls.

We actually got nearly seven whole posts into the thread before someone mentioned balls! I think that's some kind of record :D

Its was so funny at our medical because we were told to sit in silence because the head nurse/Sister was not feeling well.

And everytime you heard the person cough in the doctors office people couldn't help but laugh outside

right chill, if you was like me and 99% of the others on my ADSC we were bricking it incase "they found something wrong" or something and alot of the lads about 5 got deferred because they were nervous and got a heart murmer, but i was bricking myself and the whole thing was nothing to worry about even the ball test. Basically since this is asked alot and a clear answer is never given it goes like this.

hands out in front,rotate wrists as far each way as possible,move fingers,10 press ups, 5 squats, feels your abdomon for hernias etc,has a look at your ribs,chest back and legs, some lads who had dodgy shoulders or boney shoulders where asked to do a few pull ups, touch your toes, hands in the air and jump up, a few star jumps thats about as far as the ADSC medical goes. Although you have a more in depth thorough medical on day 3 of basic which considering you didnt get injured and passed ADSC med okay should not be a problem.

hope this helped, Cal
