Army rejects applicants with acne
My brother tried to join up for years. Continually rejected for acne. Did TA and all that, still couldn’t get into the regulars. Think he was a non com in the TA or reserves or some level of it all. As a qualified chef and doing the catering stuff that’s what they do I think – like Doctors always starting out as Captains.
Not acne as in the odd pimple, acne as in back stuff meaning that pack carrying was going to be difficult. Seems a decent enough reason to be turned down on medical grounds to be honest.

Too bad science & facts take a back seat to opinion in this @jonathanwatts #TheGuardian #Concrete story https://t.co/bMyFX4PeTp. Decisions about making communities more sustainable should be evidence based. Facts show Concrete is part of the solution to fight #climatechange

Bloke No Longer In Austria, in the comments.
Harriet Wistrich, Mrs Challen’s lawyer, said there were “many more cases” of women whose years of abuse by their partners would merit a reassessment of their convictions. One has already been given leave to appeal.
“How many have been convicted for murder where they’ve killed someone abusing them?” said Ms Wistrich. “There are probably dozens of them.”
If we relax these standards then we must do so in a decidedly non-gendered manner, no?
How many men are serving murder sentences for having killed nagging wives? Or perhaps a little stronger – but our definition of domestic abuse is gender equal now, isn’t it?
