    Medical waivers are tough as hell to get....I tried to get one for Westpoint. I went through the whole application process and was accepted. The day after I got my acception letter, I got a letter saying I was medically unqualified. After a few months of trying to get a waiver, I got a letter saying to stop trying. It probably depends on what the waiver is for tho...good luck.

    Thanks for the support. I'm really thinking about, I'm going to get my Associates first and learn a foreign language first.


    But hey my old man didn't join till he was 25 and he did two tours in Nam with the 5SFG.

    Thanks Sig, I tried to join the Marines out of highschool but during the process a heart problem was discovered. That put that out the window real quick but the condition is due to heart nerve routing in the heart. That has been cured with potassium supplements my problem now would be this melanoma crap I am dealing with now. Looks like I am cured as of now though. Other than that I am very fit and can exceed the physical fittness standards with ease. I have been talking it over with the wife lately and she supports it. When my treatment for the melanoma is over I am going to give it a shot in the Tennessee National Guard.
