Mock people much?
I have, I have moved on to other things, I have no time for corrupt, bribing, stupid jerks (I have stronger words, but cant use them here) like the MoD and it's directorates! |

| It wasn't listed in the PULLEEMS document (dated August 2003) in March 2003 when I originally applied (at the age of 16). It wasn't until September 2006 that it was listed which they used as a means to an end. I believe that there is more to this rejection than meets the eye and I have a basic under... |

| Just a quick update for the masses: I had the case heard in the Royal Courts of Justice on 4th October 2011. I lost the case, but, the Master that heard my case seemed to understand that I felt I had no choice with my options but to file in the RCOJ. Although I felt I had a case both morally, and le... |

| Well, the MoD have left me no choice. They just don't get the message and don't seem to care, but only to get away with destroying my life. And I am not the only one they have done this and similar things to. Now I will be the first to seek a legal resolution in this kind of case. Also this is now a... |

| What the Army doesn't get is that they are his obsession and therfore he will probably be the best soldier they ever had. Aspies develop intenmsely good skills from their obsessions. I never thought an ASD would prevent anyone from joining the military! Your not the only one. And, I have heard that... |

| As I have said before Freddie-J, is not the fact that they rejected me that is resulting in legal action. It's the treatment I have recieved that is resulting in legal action. Why should they be allowed to get away with it all... I wonder how many people they have done this to and continue to do so.... |
