In whatever call that was with Ramona, Lorne uses his volunteer work with children as an example of how he could be around children with being a sexual predator. I was always curious as to why Lorne even volunteered for something like that in the first place then I remembered reading on reddit several threads where those enlisted men/women on the verge of washing out of the military because of failing their CDC tests could do volunteer work to buy them some additional time.
I've have never served so I have no clue if that advice works or was just something someone on reddit made up. Lorne was failing his CDCs and did remain in the Air Force for atleast a few years (someone put the time frame between 1990-93?), I would think he was given several attempts to pass whatever he needed to but in the meantime had to demonstrate he was committed to passing and this is where the whole volunteering thing comes about.
I was epecially focused on these two reddit threads: (edit removed one of the threads redundant information)
www.reddit.com/r/AirForce/comments/6sw49r/intentional_cdc_failure_air_force/
According to this thread Lorne should have been kicked out after his second CDC test failure. Maybe he was, but it seems Lorne was in the Air Force for a year or two, I would think they would make him retest within a timely fashion as it benefits him to retake the test while he still retains knowledge from the first time, sort of like trail and error.
I know it's reddit so I do take alot of this with a bit of skepticism but I would think a reddit user that was a retired vet would immediately call BS on this if it wasn't true. So if Lorne failed he CDC tests twice which seems like exactly what did happen how was it he managed to make it past a year before getting discharged? And is all there really is to it to get kicked out? Just flunk two series of test and that's that, military career over?

Failure to progress I believe is what its called. But if he is failing on purpose that is another mess

I have a friend from tech school that no longer wants to be in the Air Force. He says he hates his job, his base and really just wished he has never joined. Yes I asked, but he does not want to "ride things out" for a re-class and/or PCS. He stated that in order to get kicked out or discharged, he can just fail his CDC's twice. Yes its policy (as far as I know) to kick someone out for failing their cdc's after a second failure, but what else could happen other than a general or OTH discharge? I mean would the Commander and squadron leadership reason that he's not worth their effort and just chapter him out? Curious how this would play out since the UTM and probably his supervisors made it clear that if you fail twice your kicked out, but he actually wants out.
