Actually, yes it does. One red flag is that the URL is absurdly long. URL's are NOT that lengthy.. I researched that link to look for user reviews, not a single thing related to that website came up. Also, the (legit) Army does NOT give you another questionnaire to fill out, once you've been rejected. And if there IS a new questionnaire, they'd already have put it out on their site. A third red flag is, there is no number to contact them at, not even an email address. I'm telling you, this is a scam.

They did give me a number, an email and an email address. The email address ended in "@mod.uk" it's illegal for anyone to fraud the ministry of defence. The number they gave me to contact them was 03456008080

Look them up on Google and see who'll come up.

To be fair to them, you do not try the medical straight away, you get the medical AFTER passing some stages of the recruitment process. They don't have the medical on their site, they just give you a link to it after they're happy with you and after passing the first stages of the recruitment process. It's what they did first time too. They have changed some of the medical restrictions that prevent you from joining. But even under the current ones I shouldn't be allowed.

Maybe their systems (their being the ones who sent that email) tells them you failed , but not why, and they want more people so they just send that mail to all who failed, hoping they will "recruit" more people?

Contact whatever part of the army that deals with such things and ask them.

That does make sense, you're right it could be.

I will, situation has changed now though. I'm halfway through college, last year after getting rejected I started college and got fantastic grades last year. I don't want to join them now, I want to finish college cos I only have a year left and cos my grades have been brilliant so far. Maybe after finishing college it'll be something to look at if I am eligible. But I think what you said about it telling who failed, but not why they failed makes sense.
 
Maybe they have removed the question? But maybe the army would be too stressful for you, perhaps you need something else?

Awesome. You definitely should finish your studies. Keep up the good work!

Give that number a call OP, it's identical to what's on the army site. Goodluck.

I will, thank you.

I think that wwjd_kilden might be right. I hope I can join at some stage, I know after 3 years of your health conditions happening and if you haven't had another episode since then, then you're eligible. My last episode was in 2013 I think, I can get in touch with them and ask them. Thank you.

You're welcome! As I emphatically state to my students daily: "Embrace your education!"

The question was there on the new one too :/ but it may not apply to me anymore. I'm not sure, depends what was the last date of it happening on my medical record.

Nahh, it's always been my dream. I just regret that I didn't join when I was younger and when I had just finished high school.

Here is the official site for the MoD.. https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/ministry-of-defence

About 3/4 of the way down they give a number, address and email to contact them. Call and ask them about this questionnaire.. And once again, this is the official site of the British army..

This is what comes up when I do your link:

تعريب جميع حلقات لعبة Life Is Strange متاحة للتحميل الان! | Games Arabic Translation


Arabic games site..lol .. and when I copy pasted the link that Owzk gave, NOTHING related to that site came up. Just a bunch of nonsense sites, just like before.

You haven't provided screenshots, and because it's a legitimate link that no one else (including the billions globally who employ imgur as their temp image hosting site) including me had any issue with, your browser and or your pc is the problem.

It's happened in the past:

http://christianchat.com/christian-...-went-up-defcon-3-last-night.html#post2671815

It doesn't surprise me as you've mentioned in other threads on the site that you game, so the fact that this came up for you instead of what should have indicates it's your end with the issue.

I wonder how it's so difficult for someone to do a copy and paste job. The link works perfectly fine, you might be struggling to figure it out. I'll simplify it for you:

1) copy
2) paste
3) enter

It doesn't show 'a whole bunch of nonsense websites' for me:

but if it does for you, screenshot all these websites it supposedly produces, I'm curious to see. Otherwise, give it another go, you'll get there.

​This sounded a little more than sarcastic,is it just me?
 
laura_charlotte said:

Nope, totally sincere. I had my mac and the link looked into by a technician for this and wanted to respond.

The tone sounded somewhat sarcastic but if it didn't bother the ladybug,its up to her to mention it I suppose. Ive tried to teach my father copy/paste for years now and still can't make him understand. Not all are tech savvy.

Too bad you don't live nearby,I'd send him to you. Sometimes its harder to teach people you know.

I'd be more than happy to do it online. That's all part of long distance learning, or if he needs resources emailed/sent out to him, happy to do that too.
