utter bullshit. I failed my army medical based on having "mild" asthma. I only got wheezing when I got sick once per year.

I applyed to the navy and didn't disclose my "mild" asthma. Never had ANYTHING for the six years that I was in. However, one other recruit did disclose her asthma condition which was the same as mine and she was refused entry. She was told the day before going in for our 3 month basic training.

They want recruits who won't give them headaches based on medical conditions.

i dont like nuts, if you know what i mean

Does NZ even have a military? Could have fooled me. lol

That "commodore" is nothing more than a pathetic bureaucrat looking to cover his own inept ass. I must say that it is particularly poor form for him to put in that cheap parting shot (probably the only kind of shot our navy can fire, given its lack of equipment).

Its good to see fair go apparently sufficient embarrasment to this munter that they forced the navy to reverse its decision (see NZ Navy & Fair Go episode 2)

Im not saying there is a problem with taking a person with an allergy to sea, I agree he could be a liability however slight the degree, what I am saying is the commodore could have been more humble with his answer as in fact it is navy procedures fault. He started off well then had to go and throw that shit in at the end, what a knob. I don't really care how respected he is, if he can't be the bigger man and just take it on the chin without having a dig at the poor guy, then what a loser.

navy stuffs up alot but they followed procedure, a nut free diet is hard to establish at sea, and would you like an officer incharge with a ship passed out whilst refugees are invadeing your country, and also the commodore is a highly respected man to every sailor and officer in your navy and others

[RAMRODY3]

navy fucked up. Whats the point of having the initial medical form if no one reads it, thats the whole point of it, to find shit out. The commodores a bit of a dick, "memory improves"?? he told you clowns at the start, hope your checks improve. What a ballbag trying too blame him on national TV. even he said he was a top candidate, navy struggles to man its ships and this guys turned away cos he might get a rash from nuts, whats next seasickness??? promote this guy he's obviously a genius

[sheetbug]

Tough shit lifes a bitch move on you dork, the commodore is quite correct grow up and grow a brain while your at it too.

[supershnauz]

the navy is still a respected organisation though, so im not trying to be stink about it, in case anyone takes offence

[supershnauz]

if that dude wants to go to sea, he should look at a career as an Officer in the Merchant Navy
