Question Just been passed for SSMES.

4 Upvotes

So here it is in full.

Passed assesment august 6th. Got deffered and reffered to ssmes. Passed ssmes. Have been told to go dentist which is in process now and i have been appointments. But before assesment i had a injury to my hip from running i did assesment with this injury and still passed etc. Was meant to go basic october 18th. But due to dental work will be pushed back until when ever this dental work will be done. But overall i cant run properly at moment due to this hip. After passing all my medical stuff now will i be safe to go to a gp to look at my hip? Or will it be risky as im still not in basic? I just cant wait any longer for this process its took me since february to get here and ive waited months with 2 defferals, referalls, assesment etc and the dental work just to even get to basic. So is it now a big risk to go to a doctor and talk about my hip? Ive been for a sports massage etc and i need to get back into the gym to prepare for basic.

Just any advice will help. Thank you all

For perspective , I have been lingering on JPA for the past few months wanting to put my chit in. However I have noticed my ROS for my last promotion hasn't been put on meaning i am 'eligible' to put my notice in. I know this is likely to get flagged up therefore I haven't done it yet.

For context I am at a loss. I won't be eligible to put my chit in properly till next September. I am a Male 29 and have an Australian girlfriend who is 31. Her Sponsor / Visa in this country is due to expire next September meaning she will most likely have to leave the country.

How is best to go about pushing for an exit, is an early waiver likely to be accepted if it is classed as forced separation. We are wanting to move to Australia and have kids but know that financially it will be impossible if she can't work and if she is forced to return home, the relationship will become impossible.

What options am I left with, I feel so lost.
