see paragraph 2-28 which I referenced for you already
You may be able to apply for a waiver for these conditions, but with the current status of forces, pending draw-down, and ability of the services to now pick and choose, I wouldn't hold my breath.
And lastly - for you to use as the excuse that putting "SOF" in your initial post was a typo would have been fine...until you did it again in your very next post. 
Don't tell us what you think we want to hear - owning up to (and correcting) a simple mistake is SO much easier....and unconditionally the right thing to do. |
Apologies in the previously stated regards. I had seen the bit of psoriasis but did not entirely understand what "meets the standard" meant. Was under the impression it meant met the standard for disqualification. Also, it was not considered a dis-qualifier during my initial screening for MARSOC years ago. I had some time ago had gotten a email from a TXNGSF recruiter telling me it wasn't a problem, though this was some time ago hence why I asked on here.
The hernia portion does not say "history of" or such, just states hernia. It seems a bit confusing as to whether it means having had a hernia of any type disqualifies one or having a current one disqualifies one. It was also again not something that was considered a dis-qualifier for MARSOC.
It's not my intention to try and prove someone wrong on here, nor continually make references to my MARSOC screening, just trying to give a context as to past experience and assist in my own way a answering to my questions. Again, the assistance is appreciated.
