Scoliosis. They wouldn't take me.

>>32054167
Every male in my family has served for as long as records go.
I'm the first one not to do so because I wanted to become a scientist.

6 strokes, scoliosis, heart problems

>>32054239
Were you born or lived on a military base.. If your records aren't held above a state/local level you can lie to them about anything at MEPs.
Crayon muncher here. I too have scoliosis. And a pigeon chest (diagnosed Pectus Carinatum). Many broken bones, concussions, have depression and a suicide attempt from when I was a kid all in my records. Told my recruiter everything but that I was determined to join and he hooked it up on the down low.
Went into MEPs with just paperwork for my chest because you can see it and it's obvious as fuck and got it waivered. Lied about everything else. On paper I'm as healthy as can be.
My back gave me a lot of shit during long hikes and what not but it's good now.
Most recruiters will hook you up as long as you aren't a criminal and tell them everything.

I'm Canadian. I'm not going to serve under Trudeau, I value my life.

I wouldn't have done well in the military, it's just not in my personality. I admire those that have serve or serve, but it's not for me.

I have two 30 degree curves in my spine nigga, it's not exactly something you can hide.

If I have a shirt on it's not noticeable until I bend over but when I do the right side of my back sticks up. I had a doctors note from a specialist saying it wouldn't affect me and they still wouldn't take me. The guys at the recruiting station tried pretty hard to get me through since everything else about me they were happy with, but they were told no.

>>32054167
Because I grew up the son of two veterans who told me not to do it and to follow my own dreams. Sadly for me, I realized the people in my field of dreams really fucking annoy me and I'd rather just enlist. By the time the urge really hit me, I was 22 and feel like it's too late and I'm too old.

Plus, there's not a single person I know who served or whatever that hasn't flatly stated "Peacetime military sucks dick" and I'd want to be some special snowflake faggot and shoot to be in some kind of SF, wash out, and wash rocks for the rest of my service. Or I could go to academy and be a jackass officer, but whatever.

I'd reconsider serving under Trump depending on his Secretary of Defense, though.
>>

also, I haven't served because I don't want to join while we are still in this peace time thing right now.

>tfw a US v China war may occur in your lifetime

I will make up for my grandfather never getting deployed in vietnam. If we trump takes military action against china, I will do whatever I can to get as many slopes as possible. I don't know what it is, but the slant eyes seem to be the most unemotional, mean, ant-like subhuman species on the planet and it makes me fucking rustled.

I thought higher education would be more beneficial.

I think I was gravely mistaken. Atleast I would have passed the Army.

I am a tall fuck tho. Probably would be ded right away in the middle earth.

Many reasons. Laziness, mild off and on depression, sort-of-shit knees and definitely-shit eyesight, general dislike of being ordered around, and not wanting to die for a country that really couldn't care less about me.

And no, I'm not Mexican.

I wanted to try and become an officer. About halfway through college, my career picked up and I dropped out to work. Said career went to shit a few years ago (my industry collapsed), but I'm 30 now and there's almost zero chance I could go back to school and finish in time for the cutoff.

fellow scoliosisfag here. if you try to keep up with the levels of PT they will demand of you, your back won't make it.

if you try to carry heavy loads on that back, your spine will compress and you will do some nasty damage to your cartilage if you even have any still supporting some of your discs (30deg, holy shit)

find another way to contribute, make it your own

this is also the reason i didn't enlist. i can't get within a foot of touching my toes without bending my knees, and my spine is always protruding from my back even when i stand up as straight as possible. i'm a veritable godzilla.

what i ended up doing is going for engineering and working as a contractor for DoD

Hereditary heart, lung, and kidney problems. I keep trying but they're never gonna let me in. I can't see blue and I have terrible vision. Everyone on my dads side of the family has a history of mental problems and usually goes crazy by the age of 35.

I just want to know what it's like, and I want to get away from the bullshit of being the average idiot working a shitty, pointless job that he hates.

I'm 23 and I think about it now and then. Did some ROTC in college, but it got in the way of my major. Really enjoyed it though.

Would be nice to have other people buy the jet-a. It'd be now or never though, I'm getting too old to enlist.

Yeah, but I'm dumb as hell and feel trapped in a 70 hour work week. I look at job openings in public, private, and government sectors in my area but there's not much around here that pays a decent wage.

The only good skill I have is programming, but I'm never going to get anywhere with that because I have no formal education or experience in that trade and I've already applied at pretty much every place that has relocation assistance, and they've just been telling me to fuck off.

Let me tell you a story. In 5th hrade we had some WWII vets sell me on the military. Wanted all my life to join up, up to about 3 years ago. Had no big plans in life really and no care in the world, but then I got a girlfriend and decided to postpone enlightment because I didnt want to enlist while having a girlfriend I couldnt fuck on base. Literally like 3 days after breaking up I start working out to get into shape for boot camp. But I get depressed from the break up, months go by and I meet another girl who I then date. Same thing happens except this girl turns me more liberal in ideaology. We break up a year later and I now have a stable job and plans in life. 2 years later still havent joined up because I have mental illnesses and physical problems (bad back and knees and wrists are fucked from bad coaching and bad form during football in highschool). So even if I wanted to (still kinda do) I cant because the military wont accept someone who forgets everything and cant pay attention to anything

Well, we go through the same initial training as regular Army, buddy.

Other than that, what you get out of it is what you put in. You can do one weekend a month, two weeks a year, but I've done extra training, been put on long orders, gone a long way, took training pipelines.

As for deploying, it mostly depends on how much you want to.

I went through the SIU (seafarers international union) apprenticeship program. 3 months of pseudo-boot camp at piney point, maryland, then a 3 month apprenticeship on board a ship where you will work one month in steward, engine, and deck department. After that you'll return to piney point decide on which of those three departments you want to work in and get job specific training for 2 months. After that the union will find you a contract long enough to get enough sea days to be eligible to upgrade your rating. At this point you return to piney point one more time to upgrade and then bid on contracts yourself at any of the siu hiring halls for your next ship.

To answer your other questions, I've been in the industry for a couple of years now and I still am. I'm not an old timer here by any means. Currently I'm working on board a military preposition supply vessel which is pretty cool since originally I did want to enlist.

I've been around a good amount of the world. It's hard work but if you want to get paid to travel it's not a bad job. Personally thougj, how much I've enjoyed any particular vessel has had a lot more to do with who happens to be crewing it than the workload itself.

General Anxiety Disorder. Postural Kyphosis (but doesn't really affect me much).

Basically just mentally weak with no discipline. Considering joining the Navy I don't know. I'm just going to get older and older and regret it more and more. My dad is dying of cancer as we speak literally days away. Him and his father both served in the Navy. I was reading through texts between him and his brother (apparently my brother wanted to join the Army as a chaplain for a while) but he's even more mentally fucked than the rest of us.

Feels bad being a genetic failure.
At least I have a decent-sized dick.

Went to sea, saw cool places.
but i really wished i just went with my gut and do army with a stint in the sandbox. I was just so lost and took so and so's word to go the other way.
Now i'm just aggravated not taking that path, so I go into my own pocket and work on my shooting or fighting skills(JJ). Because I can still do something about it despite these chips on both shoulders.


I can always do an IA if some FOB needs a body, I just gotta ask the right people around. Just one at least before i EAS. something i dunno, I just want danger.

The same reason I probably can't own a gun in some states, that being "mood disorder". Also my back and leg are somewhat messed up from a car accident, although it's not really down as a hard fact on any diagnosis since I haven't had a serious accident or injury because of one or the other giving. So far it's just hurt like the fury.

I know if I had to do boot, I wouldn't be able to do it. Recently the knee has started to get worse and balks and aches when I get up and down from a chair even without real effort like running or walking a long way.

your juvenile record doesnt exist when you turn 18.

are you seriously looking into military service at age 17? go learn how to live in the real world before you expose yourself to the fantasy world that is active duty military

otherwise youre gonna be that dickhead who somehow manages to be out of money after 3 years of making $2,000/month while single with no living expenses

Same here, I feel like I'm too soft. But ya, I also have deep respect and support for all those that do enlist.

>>32061624
yeah? like what anon, the FFL?

I'm still in too and I've entertained the idea to do something like that if I ever felt that I want to leave my past life. I dunno, it's a crazy idea but crazy ideas like that are fun to have

From 5 of my veteran family members they said to not join. Not sure how i feel about it but they said it's just not the time to join.

I still can. I still want to. Parents talked me into going to college instead of enlisting, next semester I'm graduating with a BA in Economics and planning on becoming a Navy pilot. How I'm going to do that I need to find out yet. I know there's an officer school of some sort.
The only person I can think of in my family that's served was my uncle during the Vietnam War. He was a vehicle mechanic.

juvenile records do exsist into adulthood

you have to get them expunged through the expungment process, and it varies by state.

I decided to get rich instead. Enjoy being poor welfarequeens who are unhireable with PTSD :^)

>Doing one or the other is mutually exclusive, says the failure

I'll see you in twenty years when you're stuck with regrets because you chose the safe route.

I want to, but eczema. I have confidence that with actual effort I can make it go away. I heard that the smallpox shot they give you will kill you if you have eczema though.

I'm only just turning 20 here in AUS.

I've always had an interest in military, but decided a while ago I'd only enlist if either my life or those close to me came under real danger. I really didn't want to get deployed to a random sandtrap or tropical base and cop it out of the blue.

Also problems with autism, that's been a thing for a while.

Though I recently discovered we have something akin to an official militia/reserves, so I could look into that.

Mental illness got me a big no on my medical check. Recently saw my psychiatrist and she's cleared me of all medical history, Re-applying tomorrow.
