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
