You don't half talk out of your backside.
Well that was rude.
In what way am I talking out of my rear? The fact that there is/was a cadet medical, or the fact that it was less strenuous and involved less questioning than giving blood?
I know last years FPP intake had to go to Waterside for a cadet medical prior to starting their course, because I wasted a day doing it! It was nothing that my own GP 150 miles away couldn't have done or signed off. The questionnaire that someone mentioned for DEP job offers was filled out whilst I sat in the waiting room at Waterside, and I was in and out again in about 15 minutes. If I recall correctly, the majority of the consultation with Dr MP revolved around him putting my height, weight, blood pressure and home postcode into a computer programme, and it revealing how likely I was to suffer from heart disease by a certain age!
I highly doubt they are doing one thing for DEP's and another for cadets.
It appears they are. Or at least they were last year.
So does that mean there is or is not a medical done at the selection day?
No medicals on selection days.
