You could go to Gloucester office instead?
& you can ring them up and say you'd like to change office , i think it is that simple..
they have to send all your paperwork over, but apart from that - i think you can request to change.

okay sound ill have a think about it, not sure if it'll really change my deferral or not, its soooo fcuked up that im deferred for essentially nothing. its shocking things like this happen in this day and age, not really a surprize the army put my advisor behind a desk if thats his intelligence level, cant really believe he's a sgt! lol :D

My bold.

I know that feeling all too well! When I originally went to apply last year, I was weighed there and then. I was told I had to put weight on as I was borderline underweight! Bearing in mind I was also going for JE (Which I guess might have slightly weaker requirements) - it scared me shiiiiitless!

Funnily enough, I haven't been weighed this time, and my medical forms actually have my OLD weight and height on from last year! I questioned that and the ACIO Sgt. said that he had weighed me, and that I must've forgot about it.

maybe you should complain - i dont know, but i think you are able to change adviser atleast.. its your future remember, you shouldnt stick something out if your unhappy with it.
maybe your right, they all sort of stand around and scratch they're heads if you ask them anything beyond what you can get out of the book.. god forbid, mine spelt my first name wrong about 8 times on all the forms.

i don't think i could ever change from the army though - not unless they decide to let women be marines - then i'd consider it.
