I'll be honest I have no idea who Carl is, don't care. If he is some sort of 'sleb or whatever then this may have been mentioned on his 203 for PR purposes. I think it unlikely. It will more likely down to dates of the initial application and med process. If he was pro, whatever, in 2016, remind me how much of your time the application has taken up of your time so far. The reserves is, after all, supposed to fit around your normal job.
As for you? Well you've been told the current stance regarding your med issue, best of luck with the appeals. If you have sold yourself well to your unit they will most likely go into bat for you otherwise, bare minimum. No point wasting time on a lost cause.
