Army Rejection
Quote of the moment:
"Not a school for couch potatoes" - The advert in The Times for RHS Holbrook. How rare!
My dear sister got an offer from Birmingham for Medicine. Hurrah! The downside is that Alie Lee got one from Birmingham too... LOL. My sister isn't keen on having Alie yelling "HI VICKY!" at her several times a day, so she's made a deal that if they both get in there, Alie won't yell at her and Vicky won't spread pictures of Alie's fringe. Well, that's how Vicky tells it... [Rolls eyes]
I also got a letter. Not a particularly welcome one. It said in essence that I automatically fail the Army entrance tests on medical grounds, because of my ACL repair. Well, thanks for telling me that earlier!
The offending knee:
I had a short period of releasing my anger, but now I'm ok. It's still a major bummer. I was led to believe that it was now on an individual assesment basis, but it seems that has only been introduced for people who are already in the Army. D'oh! It might change in the next few years, if I'm lucky, since I have until I'm 28 to join. [Growls in frustration]. If Lawrence Dallaghio can play rugby for England with a repaired ACL, surely I can at least have a chance to join the Army? If my knee was deemed too weak, I'd accept it easier than the outright dismissal I got. Bah humbug!

Fuck, that really sucks. Sorry fella. Maybe you could get a cybernetic leg... that'd be amazing. Reminds me that teh US Veterans Association or some such peoples have the biggest funding for atificial limb research out of everyone who funds it,.. or something like that. I'll find the story for a big of blogging latter.
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees, Rob m8... :P
I'd prefer a cybernetic all-crushing hand. Bit of a bummer for wanking with though :P
Awww... Villy dear!! That does suck, big time:\ Sorry to hear it. How gay though, eh? (})(})(}) I don't get it though, if you're fit enough, then surely you should be allowed in?:S
LOL, yeh, Vicky told me she got in. But she didn't say Alie Lee got in. OMG. Is Alie Lee doing Medicine as well? HAHA... OMAFG. D'you know how much I'd HATE for her to be my doctor? Jeez... But then again, I don't think I'm going to make a great doctor. I'll just sit there and giggle the whole time:$ HEHEHE...
Anyway, sorry Villy:\ Here, have another couple of Prilly-hugs (})(})(})
LOL... Yeeeeees... :p
Nah... The Army has no money anyway, hence all the cuts in regiments currently underway. [Rolls eyes].
Yes... Alie Lee. Hmmm. Perhaps AAB will be beyond her though, and she'll have to do one of those "Bioscience" courses for failed doctors :p
