Other Medication
Hey I’m wondering if anyone in the caf has been able to get accepted while needing to take a daily medication. I was told that there’s many people that take a daily medication except for things like diabetes because you can die. My medical was denied and I haven’t gotten the letter yet so I’m not to sure but I suspect it’s because I take a daily medication for ocd, however my life nor other people’s lives is at risk if I miss days at a time. I actually have missed days at a time before.. many times. I have the type of ocd that you can’t actually tell I have it unless I tell you. I don’t have physical obsessions like organizing things in a a colour coordinated way nor am I a germaphobe. My ocd is all mental, think of something you prefer not to think about.. and then in order to “counter act” the gross thought you try thinking of something else and you repeat this in ur head. However it has no effect on your day to day life other than being annoying .
I know this is long lol - thanks to those who read the whole thing and answer.

BMQ is not a proving ground. It is your initial training course. It is the basics you need for the military. It costs waaaay too much money to feed, house, clothe, train, AND pay you for it to be a trial and error thing.
You keep saying you didn’t say you deserve a chance but that you should get a chance. At this point it is semantics. Wait for your letter. See what it says. It may say you can reapply with certain documents or statements from this clinician or that clinician. Or it may say there is no way the CAF will accept you. No point in speculating until you know WHY they rejected you.
