Actually that was Ranger Steve Anderson that had severe asthma in the book BHD. In the movie they showed the actor portraying Ranger Brad Thomas take a puff of an inhaler in a nod to Ranger Anderson before he gets on the convoy to go back into the city.

I know how you feel about wanting to get in. My buddy and I were going to enlist together and I was wanting to go SF to be a medic. I had been off my meds for over 2 years with no trouble and was running daily on the farm. Obviously I didnt get a waiver but he got a waiver even though he was 40+ lbs overweight and couldnt run to his mailbox. I think everything happens for a reason though, I got my EMT and worked for years and now I am about to finish my RN.
