Hi guys, I’ve got my medical in a couple of days. I’ve passed all other stages. One thing I’m worried about is BMI as I’ve seen other pages on here stating a BMI of 33 is the limit and anything over is a fail. I’m not severely overweight but you could with losing a few kgs . I’ve already lost 6 kg in preparation for it. Is there a weight limit with southeastern medicals ?

How did you get on mate? I had my interview today at 10.30, I think you left just as I was coming in. I had Wednesday wrote in my diary so was a good thing I checked!Thats interesting. Mines thursday at 9am. Youll have to let me know how you get on and who your interviewer was.

How was the interview? Dmi or MMI?How did you get on mate? I had my interview today at 10.30, I think you left just as I was coming in. I had Wednesday wrote in my diary so was a good thing I checked!
It was the Dmi. Went well, got the pass phone call 4 hours later. There were some nervy parts in there with some on the spot questions that I didn’t anticipate going off other people’s experiences. But the interviewers were a good bunch, some good general chat mixed in with the interview.How was the interview? Dmi or MMI?

Congrats. Glad to hear you got through it and it was a pleasant experience for you. Have you done your MMI already? If so, the next step is your onboarding emails followed by medical, which is where I’m at. Got mine in a few weeks time.It was the Dmi. Went well, got the pass phone call 4 hours later.

Cheers mate. Yeah MMI done aswell. I won’t hear about the medical for a couple weeks as the lady that usually emails me is away on annual leave and will get in contact once back. Good luck with your medical!Congrats. Glad to hear you got through it and it was a pleasant experience for you. Have you done your MMI already?

Well the hard work is done for now, congratulations again! Was it Kenna or Kayleigh you’ve been liasing with? That timeline sounds about right. Were you told when to expect getting out on a course? We might end up on the same course. There’s a lot of movement happening so I wouldn’t be surprised if they started recruiting to replenish the talent pool again.Cheers mate. Yeah MMI done aswell.

I passed mine today as well. Looks like January intake for a few of. Congrats on everyone else that passed. Kayleigh is going on holiday so waiting 2 weeks as well to book the medical.How was the interview? Dmi or MMI?
It’s Kayleigh mate, she said there was no rush for the medical as nothing until next year. The DM on my interview asked about any holidays next year which I have one in June, he said that’s fine, I had a feeling he was implying a course early next year by what he was saying but I could be wrong. Early next year would be nice though. What depot are you going for?Well the hard work is done for now, congratulations again! Was it Kenna or Kayleigh you’ve been liasing with?

Kayleigh is who I’ve been liasing with as well. Was told the same thing no courses till next year so no rush for the medical then out of nowhere, I got invitation for medical. They want to get it out of the way. It’s just a waiting game now. I’m in the Victoria/Charing X talent pools. Any one that has a spot first, then I’ll be joining them.
