Ok took the medical and I'm overweight by about 30lbs. how long do they give you to lose the weight? I have a re-weight in a month. is that it? or do they keep rolling you? how does it work? thanks

what was your height and weight?

 

[EMSCanidatethrowaway11111]

5'10, 248, target 216

 

[Bluestripe]

Not outstanding vs outstanding , can anyone clarify

After a month if you are not at your target weight you'll get a DQ. They don't play around with the BMI. My friend got a DQ for 3 lbs over

Sounds like you need to talk to some wrestlers/boxers about how to cut weight. 32 lbs in a month will not only be difficult, it could be dangerous. Be safe and good luck, it's probably worth it.

 

[Mugs89]

That's true, losing that amount in a month is dangerous and would probably require serious starvation and fat burners. I was under the impression that if you made significant progress during the reweigh they would have mercy on you?

There really is no definition that's accurate.. But for a while the next couple of list numbers were on outstanding certification but as we're getting closer and closer to the July academy they're starting to change to not outstanding..

Guy I missed my medical date. What number can I call to reschedule it? Thanks

 

[Mugs89]

I may be wrong, but if you didn't call beforehand and explain/reschedule, that's grounds for a DQ. Or at the very least, a long wait to get a new medical date. The # is the general CID #, its on the letters you have received.

 

[Robin25689]

Ok thanks! And do they check your blood pressure at the physical? Or just at the medical?

 

[ems101]

Oh boy ..

[RUMCEMT]

Two questions one anyone 6'3" who did the medical was wondering the weight that they are looking for?

Also if you have a medical issue that is being treated and will go away but may make you fail the respiratory fitness test at the medical But after treatment you woul pass would that dq you even if you have dr notes explaining the issue?
