Ineligible for Service

There was a time when I tried to rationalize a resent for the military to make myself feel better, but that was just desperate.

And of course, there's also the possibility that I am disillusioned with an ideal image of the military.

That's not what I'm asking. It's obvious I shouldn't. I'm just asking about dealing with the thoughts afterwards.

Im very eligiblul and id never join :3c

>>34965117
I suppose I could imagine all the reasons why not, but perhaps you could convince me.

Don't believe in the cause? not interested in the experience? Bad deal?

Just accept that you were unlucky enough not to be allowed to sweep parking lots and mop rain

Yeah, there's pretty cool shit I've been able to do in the USAF, but there's a TON of bullshit that comes alongside it. And unlike a civilian, I can't just put in a two-weeks notice when I get tired of it, I am literally committed for *years* of my life. My 20's are fucking gone.

You probably at least have that much. Embrace your freedom and find your true calling, because it isn't in the military. If that culture is what you long for, look up what jobs you could do on the civilian side at www.usajobs.gov.

Ah. This is mildly comforting. I've heard horror stories of all the different kinds of people you end up meeting and working with.

Thank you for your input.

>>34965018
I wanted to join, but by 18, I was already struggling with my joints. Now at 23, I have arthritis in my knees, feet and hands. Fuck my genetics. I am kinda glad I didn't join at 18 though. I had to quit running last year because the impact on my knees, so I'm basically down to swimming to keep in shape. I'd have been pretty fucked.

it feels pretty shitty, even if like you I know I definitely shouldn't serve on account of being an insane tranny cripple autismo

>>34965211
dont get me wrong, i wish i could operate. some days i daydream about operator camp for old fags that never served. the will is strong but the wallet is weak.

Mentally unstable trannies have no place in the military.
Unless you live in some uber-cucked yuro country, you'll get the shit kicked out of you in basic.
You won't even make the cut.
Also, even if you did come back unharmed, you'll become a homeless alcoholic with no job prospects and eventually kill yourself.
Consider yourself lucky, anon.
Or if you have LITERALLY nothing left, you can always try the Foreign Legion.

I couldn't join because of disqualifying scoliosis. Near 30 degrees top and bottom, although it's been years since it was checked so it may have gotten slightly worse than that by now.

Occasionally I still wish I was able to join up but I got a pretty good job right out of college and I didn't get killed or have my legs blown off fighting in vain to stabilize a country full of muslim savages so I get more and more comfortable with it every day.

I tried to join the marines a few weeks back, i was denied because my recruiter told me to lie about two things
1. being allergic to penicillin
2. I was charged with a class b misdemenor but was never convicted.
It took a few days to accept that i was PDQ'd (perminantly disqualified) from joining the USMC. was depressed for those few days. i got over it and decided i couldnt dwell on it. now im a voluneer firefighter living with my parents, currently working towards becoming a career firefighter.
dont let it get ya down, OP. work hard and make your life better, the military aint for everyone.

>>34965018
I got a degree in us history, interned for dhs, and then got a job as a security specialist working for DSS. I get to go on deployments and carry a weapon. So i figure, close enough to a mil job, but with better pay.

>>34966328
How did you get disqualified again? If you didnt tell them anything how did they find out?

>>34965018
>disqualified for needing an actual diploma, not an equivalency
Bullshit, or at least it would have been in 1996. Went USMC avionics with a GED and a high ASVAB score.

>>34966328
You can get misdemeanors expunged from you're record, especially if you didnt get convicted. Talk to a lawyer about it then when its expunged join a different branch. I suggest coast guard, its ironically the best branch.

When my mom found out I wanted to join the Army when I was 17, she took me to a psychologist and I was stupid enough to go. The psychologist told me that I was fine and any issues I had were just a regular case of teenage awkwardness, but she would have to diagnose me in order to bill insurance. I was stupid and didn't think it would be a problem as I wasn't being prescribed medication, literally just going in once every 2 weeks to vent about stupid high school shit (desu it did feel pretty good to be able to do that). Well anyway she diagnosed me with social anxiety.

I mentioned to my recruiter that I visited a psychologist a couple of times (BIG MISTAKE, when talking to a recruiter keep your mouth shut), she looked into it, and sent the information to MEPS. I spent the next year trying to get a waiver and had numerous letters written by the psychologist saying that I was fine, function normally, and wouldn't get issues from stress, which is true (I only visited the psychologist for a couple months). Well eventually I got denied anyway, so I tried with the Marines.

This time with the Marines I went to a separate psychologist and had an examination done. The exam was supposed to take 3 hours but after 15 minutes the doctor ended the exam saying that I was completely fine and did not have anxiety. He sent the packet up to MEPS, and once again I was denied. Two years of my life wasted for something I don't even have.

I'm getting my citizenship hopefully by the end of September this year, and with that I am anglicizing my name. My goal is to drive 2 hours to a recruiting station with a different MEPS district and try again, this time with a new name (a recruiter told me that MEPS files aren't shared between MEPS locations unless one requests them from another). And if they call either the Army or Marines in my hometown both recruiters have already left, so nobody there would know who I am, especially with a different name. My hope is that a recruiter in the other MEPS district to work with my situation and help to get me enlisted.

This whole ordeal has really damaged my self esteem and wasted my time. I know I did some seriously stupid mistakes, but at the same time the only reason that I have been DQ'd TWICE is for something that a psychologist has confirmed I don't have.

Any recruiters in this thread? Will this even work or am I getting my hopes up for nothing?

Pretty sure the recruiting office runs background checks once the poolee is ready for MEPS.

Could be wrong though.

>>34966359
At the recruiting station, my personal record didnt have the charges and the allergy on there, i slipped up at MEP's for my allergy and told it to the phisycian and then it all went down from there.

I've accepted that it wasn't to be, but I still wish I could have joined.

You can feel better by me telling you it's nothing like you think. There's next to none of that high speed cool warrior training unless you're SF or something. The training pretty much ends at basic and then it's just a shity job where you always get treated like a brainless private no matter how good you do. I regret joining and wish I just stayed working private security.

IM GONNA FIND OUT IF IM ELIGIBLE TUESDAY DURING MEPS

>>34965018
ONLY if theres an mos related to your field

Had to leave school at an early-ish age due to intense bullying and health issues. Got home educated and am pretty smart, but can't join the military because I haven't been through high school. I feel like shit because of it but it's not the end of the world.

>>34965018
This isn't /pol/ faggot.

>>34966515
>>34966585
Shit like this is why I've learned to just tell people to keep away from psyche shit. The fucking fact they need to diagnose you in order to fucking charge you is retarded.

I got in with a GED and college credits. I had a history of depression and ADHD with meds for both, but it was years before I joined and I just never admitted to it. They only know as much as you tell them, can see on a background check or can physically see during MEPS.

Hell, I got put on ADHD meds while I was in. You wouldn't believe how much of a godsend Adderall was for the shitty schedules I had to work.

Ausfag here, tried to join up about five years ago, was denied because of my depression medication.

I don't mind really, I'm not patriotic at all, I'm practically a lolbertarian. But I wanted that military training and hierarchy experience. If I wouldn't get v& for it in Australia, I'd have half a mind to start my own little militia and larp around with some cool dudes inna bush.

But in retrospect, I'm glad I didn't, because medical tests since have revealed my health problems are a bit more complicated than just depression, I got something wrong with my pituitary gland and some other shit. My physical health took a real nosedive for a few years.

I was upset for a while about it. I probably would have hated it because of all the stories I've heard about all the bullshit, but at least it would have only been 3 years of my life.

I was in for 35 days until I got discharged because I started shitting blood and got really sick and found out I had Ulcerative Colitis.

Now I look like a faggy wannabe operator because I love everything military and I love shooting.

Fuck, that sucks. At least I just got rejected from MEPS because I couldn't pass that goddamn hearing test with the beeping sounds. That sounds even worse having gone in that far only to get kicked out

>>34965018
Ive got a medical disability that prevents me from joining. All I wanted to do after high school was join the army. I aced all of the tests, except the medical. When I got the letter saying Im disqualified, I think I broke down and cried. I havent felt anything inside since

Sorry, kid, the military would have eaten you alive. You would have killed yourself. Hope that helps you feel better; you're alive.

These threads are enlightening when it comes to the anti military posts. Bitter meps rejects.

Got freed from conscription because of social autism or some words on a 10 year old paper. Only thing i miss is the fun guns, but whatever.

Trans here too. Coming from a Marine Corps family, I wanted to join the Marines for most of my teenage years, but couldn't get in because faggot during DADT and also because I have a separate cognitive disorder.

At first I was pretty ashamed and everybody around me knew I was all about that oorah life, so when I got rejected it almost felt like I got a part of my personality taken away.

I've tried to look for things that satisfy my sheepdog mentality in place of military service, but it's slim pickings given my situation. Mostly just done security work. I volunteer in my community a lot as well. I've been trying to move up to a career in law enforcement, but even then I'm not sure I can make the cut and the idea of investing toward another career only to get rejected like I did for the military scares me. I've also thought about joining my state's militia, but even though they take civilians, they have a strong preference toward veteran personnel.

At the end of the day though, nothing's stopping me from operating/rucking innawoods and holding myself to a higher standard than other civilians who don't care about their fitness or order in their lives. I might not be able to wear the uniform or have the title, but that doesn't mean I can't still work toward being as strong as I can to serve my community and myself in other ways.

>>34966332
I knew a guy who did something similar, he couldnt join the mil, so he worked as an emt and guard car driver for 5 years doing both. Then worked as a security contractor for a bunch of random companies overseas.

I applied to USAF OTS (Air force officer entry for people who didn't attend a military academy/rotc). I got PDQ'd for psoriasis. It's probably for the best, I'd probably have washed out or something anyways, I have no business leading men or operating expensive machinery

Yeah it was gay. I was sick as fuck. I probably would have gotten better treatment in a prison, too. The Army didn't really give a fuck that I was sick as a dog. I should have been laying in bed all day but I was still put on bullshit cleaning details all day. It was a miserable couple weeks until I could go home.
