Ok, so it's easy for all the sport billies to demand 'yeah, kick out all the fat ba$tards who fail the fitness test'. I've just passed mine this week although I will admit, I do struggle with the shuttles, dodgy knees and all that (what was wrong in the first place with a straight forward run anyways
) The point being irrespective of whether I passed or failed, I still would have been expected to, and did, deploy on an operational det, just like a couple of my 'technically unfit' fellow sqn members did this year. The bottom line is, in my opinion, when you become incapable of doing your job, thats when you should be binned, not when you fail to jump through yet another hoop dreamt up by our ever so wonderful policy makers............. Right now there are bigger things to worry about.(Just my thoughts)
