Thanks George and Kangaroo16,
For your answer. Seems you suggest that its all subjective. At
medicals also, I tried asking doctor. But he gave a diplomatic answer
that he has to report myself being underweight. He kept on saying that
there should be no problem and I am fit and fine. But what does that
mean? What would the LCU do? Is it discretionary or mandatory for them
to act on this? The best course seems to sit back and wait. (Though
easy said then done !!)
But then, thanks both of you for your responses. I feel that after
searching a lot on forum also, there is not much what I have found.
But will do some R & D to see.
Regards,
Wannago
