anzo Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 Words from my cousins mouth who is in the commandos...'f**kin' horrible'Can't remember exactly what he said happens in them but I think they check muscles, glands, pressure points, teeth, eyes, blood, urine. Theres a lot of 'squeezing and poking'.And of course...the old drop and cough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will involve measuring your height and weight, eye test including colour vision, hearing test and breathing test. Those individuals who are heavier than predicted will have further testing performed to ensure that you are muscularly built rather than fat.The doctor will confirm your medical history and ask you to undress down to your underwear. A chaperone will be made available during your medical examination if requested. This is normally a member of the ADSC medical centre. A female chaperone routinely accompanies any female applicants who is examined by a male doctor.The doctor will carry out an extensive examination including an assessment of your joints and muscles. You will be asked to perform functional tests such as hopping, jumping, squats and press-ups to ensure that you are medically fit for arduous training. Male applicants will have their scrotum checked to ensure that they do not have a hernia or testicular swelling that requires investigation. This is because that significant scrotal swelling can cause pain and discomfort if performing a large amount of physical exercise and therefore such conditions need to be treated before starting training.Female applicants may have a breast examination as part of the medical and no applicant will an internal examination of any form. There is no requirement for blood tests or vaccinations during this medical. However, you may have to go for further tests or investigations if anything significant is found during your medical.Recruits are expected to have an adequate level of dental health. There is no dental inspection at ADSC, although some individuals with very poor dental health may be deferred at their medical until they have received adequate treatment.

Interesting fact: In the army selection, more people drop out due to heart murmurs than anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
