Hello everyone
It's been awhile since I last posted but I need some advice from veterans and people who have gone through the whole process at hand.
I got my first application form from the Armed Forces Recruitment office.
To cut a long story short I’m severely dyslexic and after filling the documentation at hand, I let my girlfriend (who is a secretary) help me spell check the rest of the form. Now she gave me a warning some of my handwriting for obvious reasons is not readable. This as you can imagine has left me in a somewhat uneasy position as if they can’t read it they will simply refuse the document and give me red tape to swim through if I mention this. Now I need to ask the following;
Will I be given any problems if I hand in the first document and ask for a replacement and explain that I have severe dyslexia?
What response is normally given in this situation?
Will this overall affect the Recruitment process?
Thank you for reading this post
(On a side I was warned by close friends who have served in the forces not to let family or spouses help you fill out the form (this is something you need to do youself), this is just a quick answer to anyone who posts “ Why didn’t you let family just do it for you etc†for obvious reasons)
