tyovan4 Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Well, as some of you know I've been dealing with the recruiter and MEPS for the past few months. I've been hoping to join the Air National Guard. I admitted on the medical history form to being in counseling - when my parents got divorced ten years ago. MEPS wanted to see my medical records, so I signed a release statement and released them to the recruiter who faxed them to MEPS. Word came back from MEPS today - I'm permanently disqualified for military service because of adjustment disorder that has been treated with medication. I was never medicated EVER, so I dont understand why that was what disqualified me. I called my mum and she confirmed I was never, ever medicated for any psychiatric or emotional problem. The recruiter is mailing me the records. I'm going to review them (all 50 pages) line-by-line and find out what is says about medication since I was never medicated. If the records say nothing about medication, I'm going to call the recruiter and ask how I can appeal this. I'd ask for another doctor to review them or if we could do anything else. If things go through after the review and my records have no mention of medication I plan on filing a formal complaint against the doctor that disqualified me. I don't accept this outcome, I want in and I'll fight my way in if I have to. Anyone have any advice??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly2442 Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Sorry to hear about that. Maybe just a big mistake with the paperwork? Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sup Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 I don't really have anything helpful to offer, but I hope it works out for you, man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parabellum Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 If it doesn't work out, keep your chin up, and find another way to serve. Lots of us are disqualified for one reason or another. I have vertigo. Needless to say, I can't be jumping out of airplanes when I'm already dizzy, hehe. I can't serve in the military, but I can find other ways to serve my country, and so can you if things don't work out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyovan4 Posted December 15, 2006 Author Share Posted December 15, 2006 I just wanted to serve part-time. The benefits were absolutely amazing - but I would have actually liked to deploy to a natural disaster area to help out, or I would have liked to go to Afghanistan to help get some Taliban..

FA sear Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Well, if you have never been medicated then I'm sure the situation will quickly be rectified. Best of luck to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dickie Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Ladies? I only have one lady now Ive actually been dating the same woman for over a year now. Ah, would that explain the desire for the all expenses paid trip to Afghanistan (courtesy of Uncle Sam)? Or is it simply preparation for the situations you may encounter? Seriously though dude, good luck and all, from my experience recruiters tend not to let eager and enthusiastic candidates get away if they can help it.
