Not exactly. My mental health is very, very strong. It's just that I am also a neurological anomaly (and it's this fact which is at play). The fact that I was diagnosed with Asperger's in January 2015 does not change the fact that my scores are exceptional or that I passed the MOST. I daresay...

The way I see the subject, human beings are easily abstracted as "meat suits piloted by unique electro-chemical patterns", and as such it's far more effective to look at things from a meritocratic perspective. With the company that I run, for example, the plurality of its staff have some form of...

One of the interesting things about the annual family reunion that my grandmother's clan has been engaging in for as long as I can remember is that we all knew that my grandmother's father served in the First World War. Two years ago, we gathered one August day.... a century to the day of my...

I had my medical evaluation October 24th, 2018 (One year to the day after my grandmother passed away, which was a key reason why I delayed writing the CFAT until February 2018), and recieved a phone call letting me know that I had been found ineligible in mid-December. It took until the middle...

I've found that my major concern with interviews is being in essence too honest. Here's the thing, though - a number of positions I've applied to, this weakness has been viewed as a significant asset - especially if it means that I am functionally incapable of taking moral or ethical shortcuts.

So basically, since I recieved the letter outlining the reason why I was found medically unsuitable the first week of January 2019 (though I recieved verbal confirmation via phone call in December), the time frame would be from the date of the phone call (As I was told that my file would be...

So I've recieved the letter outlining the reasons why I am not medically eligible, and I have to admit, I'm happier than I thought I would be over its contents - it's exactly what I thought the largest concern would be, and I believe I have a reasonable case to present with any appeal - I just...

Speaking from exeperience - it's the average weight a parent will carry around with a child between the ages of 2 and 8... :)

I got the e-mail, picked the dates, was sent an e-mail saying I needed to pick alternate dates, and was then sent an e-mail about my interview (which led to my medical) - the logic being that it would make no sense to send me for ACS if (as did eventually occur) i was not eligible for medical...

It's funny. With my file being closed due to medical ineligibility, I find that my only real regret is that I'm unlikely to ever know how I would've done with ACS... I choose to be amused by this fact.

Pretty sure the plan for our Christmas Dinner around here is to replicate my grandparent's recipes as closely as possible, even though they never wrote them down. So I'm going to have to hunt down an obscure salad dressing to use as part of the glaze on the ham..

:salute: What I love is that a tradition that goes back millennia means that dogs who fall in military or emergency service are generally given much the same treatment as they would get were they human. Good Dog!

Would be nice and helpful - a stressful environment like that, having at least someone you already know in it alongside you definitely isn't a bad thing. Unfortunately, I'm still waiting to hear back as to whether or not I'm medically fit - a surgery I had in childhood *may* be an explicit...

Damn glad to hear this. :) Was a pleasure meeting you in Toronto.

My brother and I try to hit the movies at least once a month. Should it release in a theatre near us, I'm going to talk him into it.

Well, I've gotten the requested forms filled out and submitted by my GP, alongside the optometry appointment (which to no surprise, revealed that I have slightly better than perfect vision). Now I believe the only thing left to do is wait for the decision of whether or not I am medically...

So what happens if you do incredibly well on the CFAT/TSD, but poorly in the interview? I imagine one would fall somewhere on the same line as Applicant 3 in your example?

I agree. From the looks of things, he did not necessarily do anything illegal. He did, however, do something which destroys the trust which any politician lives or dies upon.

I've considered the possibility a legitimately increasing risk within the next twenty years ever since I read Luttwak's Coup d'Etat: A Practical Handbook. As was described to me by a friend who once ran for a minor government office in his home state, the Untied States of America is the result...

That makes perfect sense, thank you. Now I just need to confirm the e-mail address to send the forms and results, as the alternative would be for me to drop it off in person, and I'm not sure if that's appropriate for this.
