Everyone keeps telling me that I'm going to be disqualified for having only one kidney...so when does this disqualification come?

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.

Sounds like your gonna be a rock star ! Oh yeah sarcasm! Where that really comes into play is the combat readiness assessment the doctors at meps do. And when they find you only have one kidney you will be disqualified at that point! So good luck .

How does someone named Madison identify as a guy who likes to rub it in the faces of those who were wrong? There is something that does not add up... maybe some spoofing going on!

Yeah MEPS is where you get disqualified medically. That's where they put you through the gauntlet. Good luck with that kidney and shitty attitude.

Easy now. Join the National Guard they don't care about your kidney. My last unit has a Sgt. Who was a diabetic. Keep your mouth shut about being turned down by big Army. The Guard isn't that bad and it has some better benefits than the regular Army.

Madison Holloway was not able to get into the Air Force. You can not enlist with one kidney.

Sounds like this recruiter knows it isn’t going to happen but is just going to let the MEPS doctor disqualify you instead of turning you away at the door.
