I can empathize. It took me a year to get into the Army. I had surgery to remove a piece of one of my lower discs. I started from the top down as far as getting in though. I got the numbers to 2 individuals through much persistance. Harrassing these two was my ticket in. I got turned down by the Command Surgeon once after a year of work, but I called a Colonel up there who I had made contact with about a week after getting the bad news. He agreed to look at it again, and he approved my waiver. This is based on a letterrecommendation from an LTC in the Surgeon General's office, who only spoke to me by phone. I don't recall if I sent him anything from my doc, I doubt it. My motivation for continuing to try after countless rejections and obstacles was SF. My reasoning was that if the main theme/mindset behind SF is to never quit, I could not give up trying until there was absolutely no possibilies left. Here I am. I got into the Army, but I could not get an 18X contract. This is because MEPS could not give me and airborne phys at with a waiver in my packet. Having got that far, I didn't look back. However, SF may or may not be in my future now. I'm just trying to master my current job before looking into anything else. I hope you get something out of my spiel. Take Care.
