    If you can dream it, then you can achieve it. You will get all you want in life if you help enough other people get what they want.

    Yeah medical things, one guy left because he was insulin dependent. One didnt bring his social so he may be leaving and three have to re pee because of blood in urine from being dehydrated. One guy has hearing aids and its pretty much a non issue if you can hear someone rub their fingers together.

    I talked to another FFE driver that went through the Academy about the hearing test, and he said the same thing. If you can hear them snap fingers, you will pass. I am sure glad that they get the physical out of the way first thing.

    I wouldn't worry to much about the physical its pretty much a joke, if you are breathing and can walk on your own two feet you'll pass.The two main things that get people failing are the piss and blood pressure test.
