Hey everyone, I have returned from the MEPS center, I am not officially in the Army yet 🙁
The Army doctor gave me a temporary DQ because I have a scar on my arm and he doesnt believe that I fell through a glass table when I was 14, he thinks I tried to kill myself. 😠
I have to get a waiver, then a psych evaluation then I will get sworn in, my recruiter told me he has dealt with this many times, and he will get it worked out, it just really pisses me off because the doctor sat there and said I was lying about how I got that scar and I was telling him the truth. I am just so sick of being stereotyped because I am different, and I know that he thinks I cut myself because I have tattoos and piercings, but he will see, I will have my waiver today and I will pass their psych evaluation.Oh, I almost forgot, thank you all for wishing me luck, and thank you for your support
If I were you I would tell them I DID try.
What do you plan to get out of the Army?
I would just recommend your local college. You have a child if I'm correct and the military won't give you shit but a headache and frustration. Never ever join, (especially as a woman) during any occupation.
This of course is just my own opinion. Just be careful, girl.
I'm joining to better myself, provide a better life for my kids, and I cant do that where I am now, this town is going under, there are no jobs here, I have to drive 35 miles to work a job making $9.00 an hour, I cant afford to go to college and joining the Army is something i have always wanted to do.
