Author: Question by A Hopp: Can someone guide me how to get in contact with a government official with an issue joining the military? HELP?
For the last 4-5 months i have been doing research and talking to people about joining the military. I make a 100% commitment to joining a branch in the military. I went to the marines, get DQed because of a surgery taking out 10 inches of my colon in july of 2007. I go to the army, and i get DQed. I”m waiting to hear back from the navy tomorrow. I am 20 years old, 185 pounds and in athletic shape, lift weights and run five times a week. There has NEVER been a problem with my surgery since it was done. I want to “stick it to the man” because i am trying to serve my country that most people would say “i couldn’t do that man” and i’m getting screwed for standing up for my country. I just want help to get in contact with a government official of any kind and explain my situation. and don’t tell me it’s fate cause that’s bull.

talk to a doctor and get him to give you papers saying that you are in good physical shape and no problems with your surgery… take that to your branch and show them and just pray for a waiver

there are certain physical ailments that will DQ you. you are stuck between a rock and a hard place because the only way you can join is if the MEP’s doctor ok’s it. If you had a physical and they DQ’ed you, then there is nothing that can be done. you can write your senator, or call your congressman, but in the end, the Department of Defense has the last say
there is nothing and no one. you do not meet militray entrance standards, period. they will not budge and no one can help you get in. It’s that simple.
just because you can live a normal civilian life does NOT mean the stressors of military life can be handled as easily.
Sorry…you can scream all you want…
They are Not going to let you enlist…
nor will they give you a Medical Waiver for it…
