Telic 1 - SH crews stagging on in the desert (and on a few occasions, making ready as the hun bimbled past) this is in addition to building accomodation, filling sandbags, wearing 2.2stone of body armour while flying (Mk60/61) trying to sleep in a 50 degree heat with no aircon.

Having any illness is going to make you a liability to yourself but more importantly your mates who have to look after you. Im a fit lad and breezed the acclimatisation training and still suffered massively in the heat which was in a controlled environment behind a wire not on the run with bad guys chasing me.

Its annoying im sure not being accepted due to medical reasons but you have to remember that OASC have been doing what they do for generations. They do actually know what they are doing. Harsh but true.
