Yes, the medical office is in Ottawa now. I just got my medical rejection letter from there. My medical officer said it was because of my drug use and violent history in high school. I was told by her to write a sorry letter to the MD in Ottawa which I did. She said that if I try and make amends and say I haven't done drugs in over 3 years (which I haven't), I can get in possibly. One of the kids in my neighborhood just got into infantry after a 3 YEAR WAIT!! He had to wait because he said he took mushrooms a few months earlier.
What do you guys think of this letter and pronunciation?

PERSONAL
Dear Captain 0000000,
Thank you for reviewing the medical documents that were provided to you along with my application. The documents you received indeed indicate that I had been diagnosed with recurrent substance induced psychotic disorder in 2004. These symptoms only occur with consistent use of substances. I have not taken any sort of these substances for over 3 years now. Dr.Hirst has not seen me since mid-2004; the documents you received are old and obsolete. I feel that I am more than capable of completing any task in the Canadian Forces.
The common enrolment medical standards must ensure that all recruits are fit for training. This is true in my case as I have trained rigorously and abstained from substance use to exceed physical and mental standards. As for the medication, I would not need any type of it because I am not prescribed for it. Ultimately, medication, physician follow-up or laboratory services are a non-issue with me.
The only limitation of my abilities would be those set forth by the Canadian Forces. I truly believe that I can perform well in extremely hostile circumstances and environments with tough and vigorous training. In no way shape or form would I jeopardize the safety or well-being of the men and women that would be serving along side this recruit.
Please take the opportunity to further consider my application. If you have any questions, you may contact me directly on my cell phone which is 000-000-0000, indirectly at 000-000-0000.
Sincerely,
00000000000000
Recruit.
