so mainly expained how common it is and how it has never affected me in any manner and how onwards of 25% of serving personel could have it then went on to explain my fitness levels and what I do as past times (having climbed some scottish mountains with my mate in the summer) and just a little note of how focused I have been on joining the service having lost 4 st etc

Congratulations! As I said previously, I'd (sadly!) avoid scuba diving!

 

[Sly3]

That easy huh ! Goddam well I’ve got the backing of 22weeks of Service in the Royal Marines plus countless training diary’s over the course of two years and Strava runs. And my commitment to pushing the mental boundaries of trying to rejoin 2 years now so far.

Wasn’t as easy as that I have had to do be at the standard to put it down on paper . We are in different circumstances unfortunately being a fresh recruit. I wish you the best of luck mate I honestly do . I have a 100% concluded benign patent foramen ovale I got the consultant who diagnosed it to right a letter explaining it and my eleligbility for service

 

[Sly3]

Hmm I’ll have to see my out come I can’t conclude my own verdict as my service will be different to yours ‍♂️

I have no bar to any roles if I wanted to change to Diver or marine I could for example. Best of luck

 

[Sly3]

Hmm I’ll have to get in touch with my own specialist I’m not to sure what it puts me at risk with as I have not a jar of glue.
