Petition Medical Care 4 Recruits
More details
British army recruits do not get the nessacary medical care if they injure themselfs in training and more often than not are medically discharged as a result of this.
Years ago when you joined the army that was that and you were only medically discharged if you could not perform as a solider.
Recruits are now given just a few weeks to recover from their injury which with most training injurys is unrealistic
Many recruits get medically discharged over trivial injures which could be treated otherwise
but because this uses time and money Recruits just get told to go home and get discharged
This is a moral injustice and a punch in the face to all the brave men and women who say goodbye to their families and join the army
We want recruits to receive full medical care for any injury that occurs during their training regardless of money or time
