Anonymous asked a question to Paratrooper R.
So I have recently submitted my application for the Army, my first choice is a Paratrooper and my second is the royal engineers. I have asthma myself however it doesn't effect me anymore. I was really worried that I wasn't going to pass my pre-medical however Capita have gave me the all clear and I can go in for my assessment date. My question is, could I still possibly fail my medical at the assessment centre because of my asthmatic history. And also do you know anybody with Asthma who is a Paratrooper. Thanks for taking your time to read my question.
The decision will rest with the qualified doctors on your initial screening.
