Thinking of signing up after two setbacks in Britain

There’s always one who questions it before knowing the full story…… I was a recruit pal I can guarantee it. You can go look up my service number if you like I’ll happily provide you it :)

So last week when doing my medical in Winchester (where squaddies looking to do a trade go) I done my medical and explained to them that I haven’t had my eczema flare up in around a year and a half. I requested medical forms from my doctor to prove that I was fit and healthy to join. This was pre-basic training and a few weeks before my army assessment centre. In the email stated before assessment they said they note previous problems but willing to allow me to continue. I passed assessment with ease.

Few months later I’m in Winchester. Done my medical and they medically discharged me. As I’ve stated I don’t use eczema now. It’s previous history of it which is why they discharged me.

I’ve asked for some advice, not an interrogation.
