Good day,
I am applying to be an Airborne Electronic Sensor Operator with the Canadian Air Force. I have completed all avenues of my Application. (Interview etc.)
My current career is Correctional Officer at a maximum security centre. I have been working at this job for approx. 5 years. I was off on 10 weeks of Dr. prescribed stress leave when I applied for this job. I was not prescribed any medication just time off. This is only time this has ever happened in my life. I have had previous military experience.
I was forth right about being on stress leave when questioned by the medical officer. I have now received a letter stating that I do not meet the requirements by the CF standards. According to the letter it is because I have "Keratoconus of the left eye and stress/anxiety of a unspecific cause that I remain at increased risk for reoccurrence” I believe that is what my Dr. wrote (stress/anxiety of a unspecific cause) in the letter that they requested from him. Since I was told I was V2 with my prescription I do not believe that was any relevance to my application being turned down.
Would having my Dr. specify or clarifying my situation increase my chances of appealing this for acceptance into the Forces?
Cheers
