Kyle,
I feel for you, I understand how frustrated you must feel. However, I‘m sure
you understand that the aptitude test is there for everyones safety. It
CFAT is there to ensure that EVERYONE in the CF is capable of the same
basic requirements. >I<.. don‘t think that you should be given any special
treatment because you have a learning disability. Will I have to give you
extra time to return fire on an advancing enemy because of a learning
disability? Please don‘t take offence, I‘m merely trying to point out that
at times, your ability or lack therof to demonstrate the required
knowledge and/or thought processes in a limited time frame could be so
severe as to cause serious injury or death to MY soldiers. My personal
opinion is that instead of fighting the system and trying to sneak in
through the back door, which i‘m sure will take at least a year, perhaps
you should consider upgrading your education and pass the test on the "up
up". The test is there for a reason, please respect it.

Subject: APTITUDE TESTING
I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY THAT I WENT FOR MY TESTING YESTERDAY AND FAILED THE
APTITUDE TESTING. I HAVE A LEARNING DISABILITY AND DID NOT KNOW THAT THEY
HAVE TO LET ME HAVE EXTRA TIME IF I NEED IT AND A LOT OF THERE THING. MY MOM
CALLED THE HUMAN RIGHTS BECAUSE WHEN I SAID THE SGT. THAT JUST SAID I FAILED
WHAT DO U DO WITH PEOPLE HOW HAVE LEARNING DISABILITIES HE SAID THAT HE WAS
NOT SURE. I DO NOT THINK THAT I WAS GIVEN A FARE SHOOT BECAUSE I AM GOING
FOR MAT.TECH AND I SUCK AT WRITING TESTS AND DOING MATH BUT IF THEY SEEN MY
WELD, MACHINE, AND WORK, I WOULD HAVE BEEN HIRED RIGHT THERE ON THE SPOT.
YES I KNOW I NEED MATH FOR MAT.TECH BUT IF I‘M USING IT ON A DAILY BASSES I
CAN DO IT WITH NO PROBLEMS. I THINK THE ARMY SHOULD TEST U ON THE FIELDS U
WANT TO GO IN SO THEY DO NOT HAVE PEOPLE HOW ARE BOOK SMART AND COMMUNICANTS
STUDIED IN THERE ARMY. AND THAT‘S WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IF THIS KEEPS UP.
I WOULD JUST LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE IS A WAY I CAN REWRITE THE TEST WITH OUT
WAITING OUT THE YEAR. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME KYLE SHARP
