I'm new to this site so please forgive possible repetitive question. I passed my face to face medical but have just been made 'medically unfit' due to having a childhood ADHD diagnosis (never prescribed medication), cannabis misuse (age 16/17) and 1 self harm episode age 18 (almost 2 years ago). Quite a lot to appeal but on the plus side i have never had input from mental health services or had psychiatric episode linked to smoking cannabis. My question is, do I appeal this decision now with a supporting letter from my GP? (my GP has recorded my ADHD as 'resolved' and I haven't smoked cannabis for almost 2 years and not had another self harm incident) OR do I wait the required time (3 years symptom & treatment free) and re-apply? I want to join the marines and am working hard on my fitness and happy to provide fitness diaries, urine drug tests etc to support my appeal. I have 5 months left to appeal the PMU decision.
Failing all this, can I apply to the Para's (after the 3 years symptom & treatment free period) if I have a PMU from the navy (considering the CAPITA tri-service agreement).
I have read the JSP 950 and done my homework but not too clear on appeals.
Thanks!
