Have wanted to join the Army for the last few years but after heading to the British Army site i found out that im automatically disqualified due to having a stomach condition known as "Crohns disease". Might sound strange but i love the idea of the training, wars, being apart of a team, making friends for life, gaining a sense of pride, honor etc.. which all comes with joining the military but as i mentioned my condition stops me from joining most if not all forces.
I have had a look around trying to find an answer to my question, even messaged the FFL just waiting for a response. Can you join the FFL if you have Crohns disease? Mine isn't bad, might have a flare up now and then but nothing that would physically stop me from doing all the training/tasks that you are told to do.
Im pretty sure i know the answer but its always best to make sure because if i am able to join then maybe in a years time once i finish my bricklaying course ill sign up for the 5 years. Reason for finishing my course first is so if/when i leave the FFL i have something to fall back on.
Thanks in advance
Ben
