Evening all.
As title suggests, I will be joining the REME as a Recovery Mechanic soon (Just waiting on date for Glencorse) and was wondering if this might be an issue?
Backstory is, I lost quite alot of weight (17st 4lbs previously, 14st 1lbs currently. 5ft 9 for reference) and plan on losing another stone or two before I am happy. I applied back in November with the intention of losing a couple more stone before I was even contacted but the application process has moved along quite a lot faster than I expected. That brings me to today, where I am waiting for my assessment center date. Obviously I still have a bit of terry on and am wondering if this will be a problem. My recruiter has assured me that my BMI is within range (albeit barely). Despite this, I am still getting around 10 minutes in my 2k. Will the extra bit of chunk put me at any disadvantage? Bearing in mind I plan on losing quite a bit more. Its worth mentioning that I am also working on strength, going from not being able to do a single pull up to now being able to do 5-6 (wow...). Will this low amount of pullups put me at a disadvantage?
Cheers lads, looking forward to hearing some insight into this.
