Think about it this way, we need people to be hero's on a daily basis to help out. If you cannot be a proud person in green BDU's you can wear a nice yellow and black Firefighters garb. This way you can prove to those recruiters that, you can still kick ass, and save lives too.. Hopefully you do well on the test. ^-~
Out of medical curiosity, what's this G.A.D. thing preventing you from serving?

I'm sorry but when our Government becomes picky to selection, its unfair to those that really want to go and service there country. So many people have lied on applications because of it.... They say that with that Disorder you wouldn't be able to retain information about missions, and you can be a hindrance to yourself and your squad. meh....I say "Meh".

While it sucks for you, if you look at it from the perspective that your condition could (not necessarily saying that it will) cost your colleagues their lives, you can understand their hesitation at accepting your application. I think public service like firefighting is a much more honorably and illustrious occupation, anyway.
