I've left Catterick as I think a combat medic is more for me, will this hinder me in training again?

Hi, did you leave basic training? On your leaving interview did you say that you were interested in becoming a Combat Med Tech? Leaving Basic Training once will not hinder you - you have passed all eligibility checks and if anything it will help as you know what to expect. There are lots of people who take a couple of attempts before finding out what they want to do and where is the best fit for them. Good luck on Take 2!!
