I don't know where you are getting all this information from. If you have read my analysis on the anatomy of an application, most applications get rejected at the R.10, completeness stage. Then some more at the Eligibility stage and after that there are very few who get rejected. Usually the R.10 happens within the first 2 months and the Eligibility is cleared within the first 5. Unless you have a criminal and security issues, you will get the PPR.
Now with regard to the military service, who ever told you he was rejected because of his military record is absolutely wrong. I got a request from CIC to furnish my military record within 7 days, even when I had never served in the military in any capacity. I wrote a letter back to them giving the times of what I was doing when. My GCMS notes indicate that the agent was satisfied that I had never served in the military and the application progressed. When I was in school, then college, the law school, then a job, where in the world did I have time for military. However, if you lie and try and hide something, they will figure it out.
A this stage I just feel that it would be counter-intuitive to file another application. Your application has been in for a while and you should instead concentrate on getting GCMS notes if you have concerns, rather than working on another application. If there is any disparity in your two applications, you are inviting trouble.
But, its your application and your decision ultimately.
