    SWT Staines information

    Does being unsuccessful at DMI counts as one of two lives lost?

    Hi techno, sorry to hear you failed at the last hurdle I think most of us have been in the same situation including myself. Did you get feedback? When you do get your next chance make sure you improve on the points given in the feedback.
