[QUOTE="cavs, post: 836061, member: 27936"] I am now a civvy but served 8.5yrs in the Army as a driver. 4.5yrs of that as a Type 1 Diabetic. Diagnosed in 2000. I eventually left in 2004 after feeling restricted by the army's mentality to a point where I felt like I had more options outside the forces. They will not give you an MD unless you are completely useless to them or classed as disabled. It took a good 6 months for the Medical Board to decide what I could and couldn't do. I eventually was given a grading of P3 CPND Geo (Career non-deployable posting geographical). Basically short deployment in areas where there is established medical facilities. It depends on what you are after our of the job-if you are happy behind a desk you will be fine but that wasn't for me. ;) [/QUOTE]
