Waiver denial nooooooooo!

Well, my parents believed that I would cause more harm than good, and stopped me from sending e-mails. No huge problem.

However, I decided that chances for contracting in ROTC would be easier if I took two years of it uncontracted. That way, The instructors would see what I can do. Currently, I have a medical record taller than Mount Kilimanjaro, as anyone here can attest to. :redface:

Plus, I would be off any medication for 2 years by then, which will help greatly. (Hopefull showing that any residual conditions are controlled)

Sadly, I personally believe Cadet Command hates me by this point.:frown:
 
Mr. Mullen- Requesting Permission to send e-mail.
(Only way parents will let me do it):rolleyes:
 
Well, I've reached the end of the road. I tried ROTC, and in the first PT session my hip was demolished........Everything else seemed alright.

So, naturally, it finally hit me that Mr. Mullen was right all along. A waiver sometimes, in some cases is REALLY hard to obtain. :thumb:
Even then, your medical condition may just pop up again, when you think you can do it.:frown:

I do heartily thank Mr. Mullen for all the help and insight along the way. I suppose in the end, God has other plans for some of us.:thumb:

Anyone on here have any words of wisdom? This is so disappointing.
 
I am truly sorry, but your grit and determinations will provide you good stead as you turn to something else you want to be. Best of luck to you:thumb:
 
I am so sorry that it didn't work out for you LTCDRILLTEAM09, but you have demonstrated amazing determination and resolve for your goals. Thank you for showing me how to persevere even when things get tough. I wish you the best of luck in whatever you are pursuing now.

Thank you,

Brian
 
My heart just breaks for you. It really does. But just because you can't be "boots on the ground" does not mean that you can not be of service to our military. There are many, many civilians who serve our military. Civilians even teach in the Service Academies! Where I live, it is chock full of civilians working in the Defense industry. I know a lot of people who work for Defense contractors and believe me, they feel very strongly that they are serving their country by designing and implementing defense systems for the military. So find a major that you love, do well in school and seek opportunities to find employment as a civilian working to make sure that our military continues to be the best in the world! Try co-oping. It's a great way to gain experience, get your foot in the door and many times, a job after graduation!

You have a lot of tenacity (employers love that). Use that strong will-power of yours to your advantage. You are young and you have your whole life in front of you. Cliches - I know - but don't give up on serving just because you have medical issues that preclude you from being in AROTC. Civilian employers are not as concerned with most medical problems like the military is. So keep your chin up - move on and find another route to doing what you wanted to do in the first place and that is to serve your country. :smile: Good luck!!!!
