I signed up to try improving my life
I signed up to try improving my life. Thinking at the time I could learn about exercise and nutrition and god willing, hoping my body would improve to the point where I could referee nrl games.
I spent almost half my life serving in the army. I served in the middle east in war and other "conflicts".
I always intended to become a personal trainer on my discharge. Unfortunately, I was injured when the truck I was traveling in ran over an IED.
The next few hours were spent dragging myself around, huddled against the truck, dodging bullets and returning fire.
I was medically discharged in July 2022. I wasn't prepared for the horror that met me. Family was busted up, people dead, total communication breakdown. Much like when I served.
The family and friends I had left were virtual strangers toe or ghosted me. I ended up homeless, had no vehicle, no job, no money.
I couldn't work. My health was deteriorating. Tried to start an online business. See my review about Arbonne international.
I thought I'd get better, so I signed up for the strength and conditioning course. I thoughtaybe I could fix myself too. Nothing worked out. I think if this course had have worked out, I would be better than I am today.
I was doing the course online, as I'm not living in Sydney. I can't be around too many people, after my experiences. Car parks make me jumpy.
I managed to secure a caravan for $450 a week, plus power and water. I got onto Jobseeker pay. All I could get was a mobile phone to do my course.
The site wasn't working properly. I couldn't Mark off that I'd completed some modules. I tried different browsers and I went to my local library and tried their computers. Same thing.
I was constantly attempting to email to get help. I rarely got a reply. Just after I applied for the course, I was having some issues with tinnitus and my overall hearing.
I couldn't hear on the phone anymore. That was a wake up call. Acpe kept trying to ring me and the videos I watched for coursework were not captioned. 1 teacher occasionally put some videos on YouTube so I could get something captioned.
My health was getting worse and my issues with course were frustrating me. I tried many times to get on contact with teachers and the help desk.
I ended up sending a message to the head to teacher stating my issues and I needed something done about my technical issues, otherwise I would have to drop out.
He unenrolled me without sending a reply. I found out because I got an email from the office less than 10 minutes later, saying it was regretful that I had withdrawn.
Amazing. I have some of the worst communication on the planet with these people, no responses to my messages, teachers saying they don't know who I am (when we've emailed before and I replied to our last correspondence!), teachers who don't recall saying they were going to do something for me (even though I've literally replies to their message and even highlighted it for them), to I will have to withdraw if you don't get you $#it together, to get lost.
That's how it feels. On top of this I had the issues with the "business opportunity" aka scam that is Arbonne international.
Now I'm in a wheelchair, alone, still no car or money to buy one, public transport is a nightmare, can't work, needing a breathing device at night. I've got kids throwing mud at my house, banging on my windows, turning my power off, ripping up my mail and blokes threating to kick my head in.
Had I still got my health, this wouldn't be an issue, but I don't. What was the point in serving? What was the point of trying to do a course or business? Why did I bother trying to better myself? What has happened to this country that I fought for? Full of scams, disrespectful people and clowns. You complain, you get threatened, told nothing can be done and pushed aside. ACPE should rename to SCAM. They are just another scam. I've lost money I didn't have, to them and other things. They play on your heart strings, promise community and friendship, support and a better life. When all they really want is your money.
