Remembered Today:

New recruits RND

Out of interest, when the new recruits go through their initial medical / measurements was it done slap happy due to the volume of recruits. I ask this because on the recruitment posters for the RND it states you have to be between 18 and 38,  5 ft 3 and a half with a chest of 34 inches and funny enough that's exactly the measurements on my persons record card, even though in reality he was a much taller man. Has anyone come across this and was this common practice.

He was one month off his 18th, as he joined under age, just felt it was a coincidence that the measurements were exactly the same as what was required
