This is my first post here, its weird cause i found this on accident, then i was curious and starting reading. Thinking Here it comes, this is gonna be hilarious. Funny who you can relate to though, isnt it? This may not be depression or loss, at least not as i've seen so far on this forum but it sure feels like it...
I'm 16 and i live in a military family, and have been groomed as such. This is one of the few cases where i WANTED what my family was pushing on me. Not sure if anyone else has felt it, but the way it feels to have a purpose, something you KNOW you need in your life...its undiscribable, but it's the most satisfying thing in the world. I've done bad things in my life, maybe this is karma, but i have gone to countless military acadimies, boot camp preps, and worked my entire life for joining the military. I've kept clean, no drugs, no alchohol, no nothing. Yet today i found out i'm 100% disqualified for joining the army. I meet every single requirement except for a small addition to the "No Asthma rule". I have reactive airway disease (not as bad as it sounds). I dont need a rescue inhaler or have attacks, and i even RAN against other enlisters that are two years older then me and left them in the dust. Yet i've been denied a waiver for this since anyone diagnosed past 13 is unable to join. It would be so much better if it was something serious, if i could actually die from it or something, but the worst is that i'm BETTER then others joining and i'm not allowed. It's hard to watch your life's dream crumble, you know? Well, i needed to do this, vent i guess, i can't tell any of my friend's because, well, they get to go and all...but ya, needed to get that off my chest. Thanks to anyone who read it this far.
