Too thin to be a PCSO
I have just got turnt down for being too thin, after passing everything. They were really harsh, I had 2 medicals and I had put on weight the second time. They said to join the gym, before I had a chance to, they failed me. I feel like this was really harsh, since its so hard for me to put weight on. I eat so much! I walk around all day now at my current job so I dont see the problem. I want to be a police officer in the future and now it seems my dreams are shattered. anyone else had this problem? ;|
Sckla you must go and see your DOCTOR
Tell your Dr all this and ask for his advice
He will possibly give you a DIET SHEET so that you are eating the right sort of and amount of food
Set your sights for trying again in a year, I know that sounds like a long time my friend but that gives you a year to do the Diet Sheet thing matie, YOU'LL GET THERE!!

I think its pretty easy to fall short on the weight. I am a healthy size 10 and I am not very tall. I still only managed 21 on BMI.
I agree that you ought to get some diet advice from your local surgery. You may not be eating enough protein and it sounds like you have a mega high metabolism.
Good luck in the future

When i was just 18 I had the same problem. I had suddenly grew very tall quickly but didn't put the weight on. I failed a medical for the military for being under weight (BMI) and had to retake it later. I was advised before by someone to drink lots of water just before. I had about 4 litres of water in the hour before and past.
You can try the same but make sure they weight you first before the drug test.

You need more calories, eat good meals throughout the day.
