Well it looks like the dream is dead. Applied last fall for infantry. Don't laugh but I'm 46. A young 46 let it be said. Nailed the CFAT, but while I'm in good shape I have had a blood clot due to a too tight knee brace I wore because of a knee injury a couple years ago. This spring I got a rejection letter citing the blood clot as the reason, even though I've been genetically tested for predisposition . The tests revealed that the clot was because of the knee brace, and no more likely to reoccur than for the average person who hasn't had one. The recruiting center said I could apeal, so I gathered up all the test results and sent them off. Just got a second rejection letter saying exactly the same thing as the first. It's like they didn't even consider the doctors opinion. Anyway, on with my life I guess. Should have done this 25 years ago. If my kids show any interest in the military I will encourage the to serve their country. I guess that will have to be my contribution. To all of you who make it in, thanks for your service. To those who don't, sucks eh? Anyway, that's all.
