Hey again everyone.
Well as some of you know from reading my previous post I had to hand some medical papers in a couple weeks ago. I had my doctor write me a note saying I was perfectly fit to enter the military once I was off medication a month from when he wrote the note (he wrote it on Dec 15th).
So I took this note and the required post-medication bloodwork to the CFRC, and tried calling 2-3 times over the next 2 weeks. Left 2 messages with the corporal in charge of recruiting for my unit just saying hi, who I was, and if there were any problems with my medical documentation to give me a call since I couldn‘t find a time when they were at the phone.
The paperwork was handed in March 9, I had left both messages before the 18th, and on the 25th I received mail from the CFRC basically stating that I needed to get medical documentation from my doctor stating I was actually off the medication (not "going to be off it"), despite the fact my bloodwork came back normal (as if I hadn‘t even been on any medication, in fact the petty officer whom I spoke to thought my bloodwork was pre-medication).
This normally would not be a problem but the sgt at the unit I‘m applying for has been stressing that they‘re running out of summer brt spots quickly. I don‘t imagine theres anything I can do to expediate the above process at this point, but I‘m curious as to whether you think the sgt is just exagerating the space prospect due to the fact he wants people recruited, sworn in and ready asap or should I start researching other trades and units to possibly go with this summer?
My current selection is Reserve Sig Op my 2nd would probably be field medic (thankfully my city has both units).
Oh and my doctor is in Florida until Wednesday so I guess its another week of delay (sigh).
I don‘t see why its such a big deal to have my doctor sign something new that says I‘m off medication when my bloodwork clearly shows that I am (bloodwork dated march 4).
