| 853132 | 2010-02-01 03:00:00 | So you want it both ways? You don't have asthma so you can get in the army but if they want to deploy you then you do?????????????????????????? I don't have asthma so I can get in, correct. I would like to go overseas, but I know if I ever told them I thought I had asthma after I'd been through basic and they put me on inhalers (to make things easier for me) I know they'd never send me overseas. And Rob is right, you actually have to ask to be deployed. |

Can't remember the name, but they spray something and if my lungs spasm I have asthma, if they don't then I don't. He wasn't even completely sure I did have asthma as my peak flow results hadn't improved (around 500) so he's told me to stop the Flixotide preventative. | --Wolf-- (128) | ||
| 853134 | 2010-02-01 08:12:00 | Best of Luck = If you are cleared as medically fit - then may I suggest joining an Army that does some real soldiering - The Australian Army is good - reasonably close to home. For a real military career, it is hard top beat the British Army, even in its modern emaciated form after too many defence cuts - it is still a very modern well equipped formidable force, and without doubt the Britsih Army is the most disciplined Military Force in the Western World. Being part of a Regiment with history and Battle Honours going back to the Napoleonic wars or earlier is a great honour, and the regiment is really a family. I served in the National Service and TA Black Watch and the Paras before leaving the Army on the completion of my degree to become airforce aircrew, and I can confirm it is a great life - if one is that way inclined. The British Army coined the phrase; " No man is ever entirely useless, he can always serve as a horrible example to others." |

You seem to be dedicated in any event. It may appear there was much huffing and puffing over nuffing. |

That was the "exercise challenge test", whereby you either inhale histamine or metacholine or subjected to a series of exercise to determine if you undergo bronchospasm. |
