My son has an essential tremor in his hands can he still join up? He is 14 but has wanted to join up since being 4.

Hi, every medical case is based on it's own merits and i could not say completely. The issue your son might have is weapon handling - could he pull a trigger in control or would a tremor potential cause the 'gun' to go off accidentally as he pulls the trigger? If he is a member of an army cadets where they use the cadet converted rifles and is fine with it then that would really help if you need some justification. If he's not a member of cadets it might be worth contacting a cadet unit and speaking with them. Unfortunately the only role in the army where you don't have to handle a personal weapon is the Royal Chaplains Dept. I hope this helps for now. Good luck.
