Hi I have issues with my wrists sometimes during activities such as press ups. Would this stop me from joining the army?

    Hi

    We can't comment on indivual cases but in general if you have visited your GP to discuss pain relief treatments then our Medical Admin Team will need to review your medical evidence, such as: treatments prescribed and how many times you have visited your GP.

    If you have not visited your GP, and you are able to complete your training, then this will not stop an application.

    You could be experiencing pain if your hands are not in the correct position or angle when completing push ups. The 100% Army Fit app will be able to help you work on your fitness for an Assessment Centre event.

    Hope this helps and good luck.
