I think that's generally true - and frankly, in this case, I'd feel a lot better about the original poster if his question was "can someone help me with the best way to explain how stupid I was to quit" instead of "how hard is it to get a waiver?" If he's not willing to take a few hours out of his life to write the damn thing and submit it without testing the water first, then how likely is he to stay with the training . . .?

On the other hand, what if someone realizes that they genuinely made a mistake, and does some serious soul-searching, and wants to go back? Can someone rehabilitate themselves by getting selected on the second go-round? (I'd say that a second VW should equal a lifetime NTR.) If someone finished the training, would you be less comfortable with them on a team if you knew that they had VW'd selection the first time through?

I think we've sent some people back after a VW, but I don't know if any of them made it through the pipeline and came back to us, so I don't have a good feel for what the right answer is.
