To add my voice on d issue of those that got notified or not, i dnt think not getting an acknowledgement text or whatever shd serve as a deterrence 2 those who shd write or not, if u know u actually applied then go write ur test oh..,and i would also wnt 2 ask if anybody printed out his/her applicatn page form 4 d cadets n ratings position cos i did, so if u did then dat on its own shd back up ur claim of actually applying. As 4 d other positions i dnt knw abt dat cos i didnt apply 4 any of those. So lets do d right thing n avoid cutting any corners, if u applied go write ur test, period...! As 4 d Ratings question, i guess it has 2 do with d age of applicants as was specified other than that na guess o, and maybe musco is somehow right sha, ratings shd be a term 4 old sea pirates....no be me talk am o, so if u cnt handle AK47 then dnt bother or maybe dem fit consider say mk u use Double B...
