Nobody here will be able to answer your questions. You're most likely being kept in the fog because your command doesn't know either. Hope you can find some answers soon.

Thank you for your responses, I can give an update. There was absolutely no negative backlash, and I successfully graduated from my 2 week AT course in which approximately 70% passed. That being said, anyone who in the future might find them self in the same boat as me needs to be upfront and document everything, A-Z. The first person you should talk to is the head of your units medical staff.
