update… US Air Force said no (medical). Still looking into other branches, still no news from the Marines, though the unofficial word from the Army is that the medical reason the Air Force cited for turning me down is actually an exception saying I am qualified with them. I’ve not had much chance yet to talk to the other branches
yeah, so did some digging. Until recent revisions, what I have was indeed specifically enumerated in their docs. It is no longer specifically enumerated, either as a qualifier or disqualifier.
In another part of this digging, stumbled across other charts. Apparently lil’ Falcy may need to go on some sort of beer and chips diet, if they move the weight requirements around any.
In further news… Talkin to the Nat’l Guard, that guy said maybe but the jury’s still out on that. It’s taken enough time to suggest that it is either buried in a massive pile of requests for examination (the papers to request to go visit the people that are the “gatekeepers”), or that mine is undergoing extensive review and scrutiny. mebbe third time’s a charm.
however, this process is taking much longer than I expected, so I’m starting to make contingency plans for next semester. I could possibly see myself staying around locally for a bit.
If this one falls through, I’ll set out to get official requests in with everyone left (Navy, Army, Coast Guard), so I can know for sure if I’ve checked all my options, though.
