Thank you for providing me with the text that needs to be rewritten. Below is the revised version of the text:
Please read the following carefully. By submitting your application for membership in the Solomons Volunteer Rescue Squad and Fire Department (SVRSFD), you authorize investigation of all statements contained therein. SVRSFD is authorized to make any contacts necessary for you to become a member, such as contacting your current employers and checking your criminal records. Please note that any misrepresentation in your application will lead to the cancellation of your application or separation from SVRSFD as a member at any time.
If you are accepted as a member, please note that this application is the property of Solomons Volunteer Rescue Squad and Fire Department and will become part of your personnel file. SVRSFD is an equal opportunity organization and does not discriminate against members or applicants due to age, sex, marital status, national origin, religion, race, physical or mental handicap unrelated to the performance of the job, or any other prohibited reasons.
The Membership Committee will review your application and conduct background checks. Please note that applicants may be disqualified for criminal conduct. If you are under 18 years of age, a parent or legal guardian must submit this application.
SVRSFD has high professional, ethical, moral and legal standards, and only those persons who meet these standards, in the sole and exclusive opinion of the Board, shall be allowed to be members of the squad. If in the sole and absolute discretion of the Board, any applicant or member fails to meet these standards, then that member shall be subject to immediate dismissal. Grounds for dismissal include, but are not limited to, any false statement on the member's initial application, conviction of any crime, be it misdemeanor or felony, the receipt of probation before judgment as to any crime, be it misdemeanor or felony, or any other matter that in the Board's opinion would cause an applicant or member to be unfit. By submitting your application, you acknowledge and agree to these terms.
Please note that your application is ongoing throughout your potential membership, and any matter that could affect your fitness to serve, including but not limited to, conviction of any crime or receipt of probation before judgment, must be immediately reported to the Board of Directors. Failure to report any such incident or matter shall be grounds for dismissal.
