When I did the medical assessment I talked to the girl about the fitness assessment (I am still yet to complete) and she said that a lot of people worry about it and then complete it thinking 'oh that was easy'. She said worrying only increases your heart rate which is a factor you can be disqualified on. I have to rebook my fitness test because the doctor couldn't clear me on medical assessment based on previous mental health issues. I get depression/anxiety and in the past have seen a psychologist and been on SSRIs. I've made a lot of progress and am quite in control these days. Before she can clear me I need to have a letter from my psychologist (from years ago) stating my previous mental health issues, a current assessment and whether they believe the work involved in ABF will be a problem for me.
If I can't pass because of this it will be a depressing outcome:'). Hmm are shows ever what you think? You only have to look at the 'fail' rate of recruits and consider that 'fail' also includes those who resigned. So if you have a 'fail' rate of 25% as tripup has previously mentioned consider that the percentage includes people that said this isn't what it's advertised as and made the choice to leave. The take home pay is $700 a week.
