[QUOTE="andy24092014, post: 977849, member: 136246"] Ummm interesting comments. From my experience it's a case by case basis. I was diagnosed in September last year. I was only in the MPGS and after an initial board it looked promising that I would be kept it after a review. I can bang out a fitness test with no dramas as I am a very keen runner, so I am perfectly fit and able, I cracked on and did my job with no issues and my control is spot on. Everyone was totally gobsmacked when I went for my review to be told I would be discharged. My attitude had been more then can do and I'd gone above and beyond to prove that I could do my, and let's be honest sitting on the gate ain't hard, job with no issues. They binned me on the grounds of handling weapons. I argued that it had been more dangerous for me driving 4 hours to the review board then holding a weapon stood next to a colleague but to no avail. I have no idea how they work out whether they keep you in or not [/QUOTE]
