Yeah, I know, you've all told me that I'm never going to get into any branch of the military with only one kidney. The Army has already disqualified me and now I'm in the middle of trying to enlist in the Air Force. People keep telling me that I have no chance of joining, but I'm making more progress than you've all expected. My recruiter has my medical papers and he knows all about my one kidney. And yet, he didn't turn me down and give me an automatic disqualification. He said I can go take the ASVAB, which I took today and scored a 94 on, and then he said that he'll send my scores down to be looked at so that I can be considered for MEPS.

So....when does this so-called "automatic disqualification" show up, because I ain't seeing it. I took the ASVAB, scored high on it, and now I'm being considered for MEPS. And what happens when my recruiter says I'm in the clear for MEPS? What happens when I pass the physical and MEPS lets me swear in? What happens when they notice that my one kidney doesn't impede me in any way? Chances are you all will still be saying "You're never gonna get in! You're disqualified!"

I honestly just typed this up because I like that I'm proving you guys wrong so far. I've made it farther than any of you have anticipated and I'm just the type of guy who likes to rub things in.

When you fill out you medical form at MEPS it ask about any operations or physical abnormalities, your will be informed of the evaluation by the Doctor. Go through the process because at least i shows that you wanted to join the armed forces. Also regulations change because they are written on paper not cast in stone. Good Luck

Sorry to hear about your medical condition. If you reached permanent party status, I could envision your pettiness being submitted in future Total Force Climate Surveys. Leaders rate subordinates' actions and vice versa.

You sound like a fucking piece of shit typical millennial. I hope you do get in, just so you can get your ass handed to you with your horrible attitude. If you feel the need to try to prove people wrong on a forum, how the hell are you going to survive being in the military surrounded by enlisted and officers who outrank you - many of which will probably be wrong at some point in time.

You have a lot to learn and your immaturity and ignorance is showing.

In my experience, even if you did manage to enlist, your attitude and arrogance will assure you dont make it a year before you are in trouble or chaptered out. Be more humble and give credence to the words of those that have gone before you. If you get in, then rejoice and share your news in a manner so that people can rejoice with you. As far as now goes, I hope the door shuts in your face before you can make the lives of our other servicemen & women that might serve with you miserable.

If by some miracle or lying, you do get in, remember that if you piss on your teammates like you have here, the E4 mafia is alive and well and “training accidents” happen all the time. Just kidding, we’d take you at night and give you an attitude adjustment with a blanket party. You may even summon the shade of ‘gunny’ and he will unscrew your head and shit down your neck.

Not sure your Kidney or your attitude is going to get you but would be my bet that with your attitude you won't make it through AIT.
