Hi everyone, I have looked through the forum and there are a few mentions of the big reasons for being turned away, but I am looking for a little more detail.
For those of you that have been through selection and did not make the cut, what were some things you could have changed to make it go differently? I know a lot of the hopefuls that do not make it though are shown the door because of medical reasons, physical readiness and saying the wrong things during the interviews. Everyone who is serious about getting in is obviously in good shape physically and as prepared as they can be for the psychotechnical tests, motivation interviews, etc. but what are some things that turn people away that the majority of wannabe's do not anticipate?
Before anyone says it, yes, the only way to get these answers is to knock on the gates myself, but I have several months left to prepare so I figure it is better to be ready for every aspect of selection rather than just flying there with a bag full of hope.
Any additional insight is greatly appreciated, thanks guys.
