Just throwing this out for anyone who might be able to help:
I tried to go reg force about 4 years ago, I did my thing, got to the medical part and was totally honest and told them (read: admitted) I had a disease that was one of their check box questions. I wasn't diagnosed until after I was in the army reserve, and I did my QL2 QL4 before I was diagnosed. The Doc put me on a permanent medcat of 211545 and I signed it (in tears, just watching my career end!) and got a copy.
I stayed in the reserves and transfered to another reserve unit, with them aware that I was on this medcat etc. I still haven't gotten a QL3 due to this medcat hanging over my head, and what my trade was. I've got a VOT in currently, for 871 to 836. I was doing my own VOT (the joys of being a clerk) and I noticed that oh- my permanent medcat is NOT on my pers file....they still have my t6 cat on there from almost 4 years ago! Now, will this med deal hurt my VOT?
One of my clerk friends knows another sgt clk in the regs that has this disease, but my medcat has kind of always been the excuse to not get me on course, etc etc. I was given no restrictions at the time, though the perment med paper (that I have a copy of!) says "PT may be limited in time and duration". Well, I'm sorry, I've passed the RCMP PARE and the PREP several times (its only good for 6 months) and I run a good 2.5miles a day on top of lifting weights 3 days a week. My tenor drone my PT is limited!! I am on medication and my disease is totally under control....I even saw a specialist for the RCMP and he was quite impressed with my case.
What is the army's deal with medcats and disease? The unit has watched me to my job, and the job of coy clk for the last, almost 2 years with no adverse effects....I'm one of the few clerks who even GOES in the field with the unit! All I can say now, is WTF?!
