8:41 am
a hit. finally it's the 1st day of the physical tests. in the crowd of anxious boys best friends and. there's definitely a lot of competition it's really tough because. you have to be very physically fit. for the next week these boys will run jump push and pull their bodies today absolutely minutes. looked up. in the end only a few. with more than $700.00 in the fight off
8:42 am

8:43 am
this is my biggest dream if i succeed i'll be so proud then you are even more wired to. but their trial is far from over all the boys have to pass a medical and it's the one test i can't prepare for. caught up says some of their friends have already filed it. normal don't let your guard. keep their medical check up in a normal hospital came out fine there was no problem but in the camp for some reason they failed. i'm a little worried there's a chance that i'll fail. that . for 2 days the boys will be poked and prodded to make sure they have no hidden illnesses or injuries now hold.
8:44 am
everything from their joints to the teeth will be examined any problems place it up . and know if we want to cause. it or walk off we do have an if i need. one suddenly cut a can come on a pull decide the tests picked up a hot man and now they heading to hospital for a thorough check up. doctors have to do an ultrasound to make sure they halts a functioning normally if they know the boys will be disqualified. so incredibly stressful these boys have quieted some of them for years to get to
8:45 am
the stage to join the caucus and this test could mean the end their dreams. it takes just a few minutes but the doctors giving anything away will have to wait for the results back at the camp. the uncertainty is excruciating. when i. get. more that if they fail they'll have to leave immediately. well you want. i'm really hoping that by and cut it could have passed. but at the gates it's clear the news isn't. all so sorry about.
8:46 am
how you doing. the text hisses showed an abnormality with his harsh prolonged intense exercise could cause sudden death. he can never be a soldier in the british army or do you plan to do. all. those known back to the village. where you had a chance to speak with or. cut a cusp into g.'s and his family thousands of dollars training to become a good. all of it has been fanaa think.
8:47 am
back in the camp kemal is the last one to find out his results after what happened to cut uk i'm worried he'll also be sent higher. than pas graduates who were you nervous. because you were sent to the hospital as well but that was so so sad it was and one of the phone call of yes all through. when you're sad to say kind of. i know how hard it is i can feel that pressure that things. look. good afternoon by us from outside the staff are finally able to give the remaining boys the good news unless some of the ears of the badly medical getting away oh there's something about a medically do not say the same some. thank
8:48 am
. the now come on and roll him up both safe and they can call their families. when you're. alone. or more your camera phone. i'm a metaphysical noticeably god do but the stress of the last few days has taken a toll on kemal he's lost his confidence which was about his her getting over the ass in the one i said i'm going on. you know. but it's. not even real he also gets through to his mom. a lot and out i mean. this is his last chance to get into the british army they won't let him try again because he's already failed twice. so i
8:49 am
was a bachelor and when i didn't get in i was devastated i just wanted to be alone as i was living away from my family i felt like in their eyes i was a failure i couldn't bear it i just couldn't move on. its mother says she tried to support him but the whole family was devastated. the monday they would have known that i was in when we last saw it makes me so sad. i can't stop my tears when i think about it. it's hard to see. your child works so hard and still fail. and we try to console him we told him he could try again because there was time. but inside we also felt hurt. anybody. she has used all the family savings to pay for roads training 'd and that's put
8:50 am
enormous pressure on him the minute he has worked really hard his hands were full of blisters and his back was totally bruised because he carried those heavy baskets he would try so hard. for 2 years family have watched him struggle with his disappointment they're now bracing themselves for whatever happens next again. we're hoping that he'll get in but i've told him that in case he doesn't. control yourself i'll come and get you and bring you home. they weiss is almost over the results are out in just a few days but the boys have one last chance to impress the recruiter so that's.
8:51 am
what we're here. tomorrow is the final physical test the infamous rice. each boy has to carry a doctor band big basket filled with 15 kilograms of sand and they have to do it while sprinting up the mountain. with. what was on it and then today they are making sure they baskets otitis securely. seems pretty happy with he's. he's having trouble. with goes all of them got into. a lot of trial and error his basket is ready but it feels like a bad omen. finally
8:52 am
it's race day and the boys a rearing to go at the crack of dawn. i'll expose a lot of people that are going to come out in the front row wearing a blue shorts dead body. in the middle. class. rebel. it's a steep 5.8 kilometers to the top a long winding road. through all this. would be an opponent of ranges towering above the views
8:53 am
a spectacular. view the only thing the boys i'm looking at is the competition. this is not just a taste of strength it's a taste of sheer determination. those. to their bodies feel like giving up if they mind those that don't push them to the finish line yeah part of that. you don't. want to go. by the time the boys k.c.'s can be nearly stabbed. by a book about what they're really talking well. look it is one of the 1st in his group to reach the top in just over 30 minutes that's 7 come up. is nowhere
8:54 am
in size. but all those eventually i suppose. he looks absolutely exhausted. you know were you happy where now when. i'm happy to come but not satisfied with the wife why does my dime in my face a fizzing time was a bit slow their mother used to think that's going to be a problem. yes of course it's going to be a problem because they're. gone critical move. ever since he scare at the hospital kemal has been struggling. but he could still be selected if his overall score is high. he won't have to wait long to find out. at the camp the moment of truth has arrived.
8:55 am
the medical. go. one by one each boy will be told if you. go about it. there's only $432.00 places and more than $700.00 hopefully it's what. kemal is one of the 1st to be cooled. off to years of hard work it will take just seconds to learn his fate and now. at the camp gates families are also white for the results. boys who fired a coming out with the. molly or the other. people trying to console him but he's not stopping anyone it's just awful kemal had tears
8:56 am
in his eyes coming out and he didn't want to talk to us and i don't really blame him. inside dru hit is still hopeful. but he's one of the lost boys. just left on the field. if he's 10. it looks like he's even. though you got. good you said lucile and that is that. we never assume because you're at the bottom of the kirov was it last did you think you were going to get a no you were not going to get me i was hoping to get in but i was missing ok to graduation thank you. for the boys who got in
