No one is going to find you unsuitable because you fear needles. But they sure might if you choose an avoidable lifestyle that damages your health. Especially when you should be in tip-top condition, all grown up but still so young!

The first medical provides authority with the best opportunity to keep people out. Subsequent medicals provide the opportunity to keep people in. So don't fail the first one. It isn't like re-sitting an exam till you pass or like giving up self-abuse only when you need glasses. [It doesn't make you go blind but don't ask how I know].

Never mind about needles. Worry about the little prick who leaves you numb. There's quite a few of those in the other seat.

If the nurse is a she I always ask her to hold my hand. She may take me for a wuss but I still get to hold her hand. Though after 12,000+ hrs it gets a bit trickier to get that one to work. I guess they're breeding a smarter kind of nurse these days.

Good Luck!
