Hi guys.
My name is Emma and I am 17, and I am going for my YOU (your opportunities unlimited) session regarding entry into the ADF next week. My family has a pretty solid military history, with almost every male on my father's side having served. I've always wanted to join the army, and I've decided to try and get an ADF undergraduate sponshorship to study nursing and then continue this with the army afterwards.
I have no real qualms about the aptitude testing or the psychological testing or even the medical testing, I am pretty fit and I can express myself well.
The only problem I do have is a horrible scar on my arm. It was a really, really stupid thing that I regret very much that happened during a horrible period of my life. I was hospitalized and received treatment, but I was never actually diagnosed with anything. After I was discharged from hospital I had to attend compulsory sessions for a while, but soon enough they figured out I was a really normal person and they let me stop going.
Would this affect my entry into the ADF? It really is my life dream to join, and if something so stupid as the scar on my arm stopped me from joining I would be crushed. I am not at all the same person I was then when I made the scars, and I am also undergoing some plastic surgery procedures to have the scar removed.
