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

I don’t know anything about military health demands, and thus don’t know if your surgery would have any actual repercussions.

Your best bet is probably to contact your Congressman’s office – he/she has staff members that are tasked with assisting constituents with problems such as this. If an exception to the requirements is possible, they would be able to steer you toward how to get it.

Question by Dolkite: I have a major issue with my looks. I’m 6′3″, broad shouldered, around 235, and bald?
Most people don’t understand why I hate this, and I rarely tell them the real reason.

I hate how I look because it’s entirely masculine. I hate that I’m taller than most people, I resent the fact that I started losing my hair at age 17, and that while I’m not in super shape, it’s not uncommon for someone (often just some panhandler buttering me up for money) to ask if I played football or call me “Big man”. In my darker times, I refer to myself as being “ugly” although I know it’s not true….I’m just the opposite of what I want to be.

I’m posting pics just to show the contrast between who I am and who I wish I could be.

My GI problem is not a sexual issue…I don’t desire to have female organs and I’m heterosexual. I admit that in a perfect world, I’d rather be female. However, that’s obviously not going to happen, so I’m willing (like it matters) to compromise if I could just not be seen as an overtly masculine guy, I’m just frustrated because I know there is no way I’m ever going to be seen as anything but a masculine guy, the opposite of what I want. I could even deal with being male if I wasn’t so overtly masculine and the (few) women I attracted weren’t looking for the sort of big, strong, protective “manly man” type. I know they didn’t realize how their comments affected me, but hearing a female say things like “I love how small I feel next to you” were heartbreaking for me because I took it the way a female would….most females don’t want to be seen as big and burly.

I tried to counteract this by dating girls who were taller or larger…the last two were 6′5″ and 6′2″ (around 250 lbs). This, however, backfired…the supertall one loved having someone who made her look smaller and could dominate her in bed; the big one loved that I could pick her up (with difficulty) and, worse, told me she was attracted to me partially because I reminded her of her father. Now ask me why I don’t go out on more dates…

I’m really at a loss here. I mean, I care about how I look and yet I’m unmotivated even to get in shape and do the best I can with what I’ve been given because I don’t want to seem like I actively am striving to fulfill that big tough bald bouncer type image that’s so popular with men now.

Anyway, I don’t know if this answer is going to inspire a lot of rude comments or if anyone will even have anything meaningful to say beyond token responses like “Get therapy” or “Stop caring what you look like”.

Also, PLEASE read my question. Some people click on the link to my pic and then write “What’s the big deal, you’re not ugly” or “Lots of girls dig big guys”. My question is not “Am I good looking?”, it’s how do I cope with having a body that’s the exact opposite of what I wish I could be.

sassi – I’m not looking for anyone to dominate or humiliate me, tho I can see why u would think that from my posts.
What makes you think I posted these questions in hope that you would approve of me?

I know this sounds weird but you really almost sound like you’d like a Mistress. Try possibly looking at BDSM and see if a strong woman would make you feel ’smaller’ and more demasculated.
