Ghana Armed Forces Body Selection. All You Need To Know

If you are thinking of joining the Ghana Armed Forces, this is the right place to be. In this article, I will take you through some requirements you need to meet to pass the Ghana Armed Forces body selection process, which is one of the relevant steps in the recruitment process.

Every year Ghana Armed Forces applicants who make it through documentation are further invited for a full-body inspection on a communicated date to ascertain the desired figure and physique per the Ghana Armed Forces standards.

Key inspections are made to ensure the absence of tattoos and flat foot, excessive body building, double ear pierces for females and exposed varicose veins, amongst others.

Let’s explain the medical rationale behind the checking of these various body developments.

Flat Feet

Flatfeet can sometimes contribute to problems in your ankles and knees because the condition can alter the alignment of your legs. As a result of these problems, the Ghana Armed Forces disqualify any applicant with this body deformity.

Tattoos

The presence of body tattoos causes allergic reactions. Tattoo dyes — especially red, green, yellow and blue dyes — can cause allergic skin reactions, such as an itchy rash at the tattoo site. As a result of these problems the Ghana Armed forces disqualify applicants with the body tattoos. 

Excessive Body Building 

Excessive body building can have massive side effects such as restlessness, flushed skin, yellow skin, headaches, having an unusually fast heartbeat, breathing too fast, dizziness, sweating a lot among others. As a result of these, the Ghana Armed Forces disqualify applicants with excessive body building.

Exposed Varicose Veins

Varicose veins, also known as varicose or varicosities, occur when your veins become enlarged, dilated, and overfilled with blood.

Varicose veins typically appear swollen and raised, and have a bluish-purple or red colour.

They are often painful, especially after a gruelling physical activity. Thus the Ghana Armed Forces disqualify applicants with exposed varicose veins.

Other key inspections done include height checking, the absence of a protruded belly button, body posture, absence of hernia etc.
