I need recruiting help. my future depends on it.
 

I am in the Guard and I got a conditional release to go active and get an 18x contract. I am in the process but I have a shrimp allergy on my record from when I enlisted. The recruiter says that if I go to Meps I would have to get a waiver (I already got one to enlist in the first place) and that would disqualify me from Airborne. So I went through my guard unit and got an airborne physical done in hope that it will get me pass the Doc at meps. Odds are it won't, but I heard that Meps has to call SOCOM anyway and if they say I can come even if I need a waiver they will let me in. Is this true?

I really want to get in. If I don't I will have to join the Guard SF or fly to France and join the Legion.

Damn!
Airborne is a hell of a lot tougher then I remember it if you have to eat shrimp to get youyr wings.

T3:

Follow the board rules and get vetted if you want to post in this forum.

Thanks.

I admire your ambition and if I were young again it's something I might try. Parlez vous Francais?

No I don't speak French, but it's a language I can pick up easily. (Spanish speaker and I'm currently learning Portuguese)

Thanks.

Update: I got an Airborne physical through the guard so I should not have to get a physical at MEPS. I head to MEPS next Thursday. If all goes well I will get to sign the contract next Thursday. One last hoop to jump through. I fairly optimistic about it all though.

Seriously?
 

I already question your ability to be successful in this calling based on the username you have selected.

PokemonMaster?

First impressions are lasting,,,

You're not the first person to say this. It makes no sense to me. It's an online alias. Your name and two numbers in the middle of it.

Thanks. I needed a good laugh today. :D

BTW: Don't let Blue02hd fool you. Every group actually has a slot for a Pokémon Master. His office is quartered in the lawn mower shed.

Good luck

LHC

:UPDATE:

Swearing in next Friday.:lifter

Pretty sure there is no shrimp MRE and I doubt if the Pineland G's are much into it either.....
