Howdy all,
Here‘s my story. I applied for the infantry, reserves, in march of this year. At the time I was in high-school, now I‘m at the University of Alberta. My application was golden. I had a 70% average, I was my school‘s Vice-President, I had first aid courses and plenty of leadership and extra-curricular activities under my belt. I passed the intelligence and physical test with flying colours and I never touched drugs, which was great for the application.
Only the thing is, in 2001, I had a head trauma induced concussion, which made me go into an impact related seizure. The Medical Review Board said that I‘d have to be seizure free for 5 years, then I could re-apply. Yes, restart the whole application process. I dont have any kind of medical condition, no epilepsy, nothing. I‘m perfectly healthy. I never took any medication or had any restrictions imposed on me as a result of my injury. Now, I can‘t re-apply until 2006. And by that time, who knows what the state of the military will be.
I‘m asking for help. If anybody can relate to this, please respond. If anyone has any options that I could consider, please tell me. Any help would be greatly appreciated. My purpose in life is to serve in the military, so please, if anyone can offer advice, please do.
Thank you.
