    Yeah! I've been thinking about it and I'm going to give them a call on Monday and see what they have to say. Apart from the whole injury thing I think I have two other major obstacles to overcome. The big one being that I can't dive/swim very well(and that's important in all of the Military, especially the Navy!) and I had eye sight problems that lead to a lack of depth perception when I don't have glasses/contact lenses so I'll need to get me another pair and take a depth perception test. When I was at MEPS, I failed the one they have but if I can pass one from my Optometrist then I can retake it at MEPS and I want to pass it so that I have a larger variety of jobs/less restrictions imposed on me.

    that's a solid plan, i think you have a good idea of what you should do

    It definitely will! But like I said I plan to give it a little time. From what I'm understanding I'm at least dq'ed for 3 years so I'm going to focus on getting a decent job and saving money. So that if it does fall through and thats not an option I'm not left with nothing.

    Well the doctor who did my surgery is actually in the air force herself. She said that there shouldn't be a problem. But considering the recruiters said they would stay in contact with me and I haven't heard ANYTHING from them since the day I was admitted to the hospital it is a little disheartening. I suppose its going to be one of things where I have to show the initiative, so I'm just giving it a little time before I do go back in.

    I want to be in the military for a lot of reasons. I think it's respectable. They give you self-discipline. both mentally and physically. You get a unique set of skills you can't really gain anywhere else. You gain a sense of camaraderie and gain lifelong friends. I personally think they pay is pretty good especially considering you don't have anything to spend money on seeing as how they pay for housing, food, medical expenses... They even help pay for schooling once you get out which is great for me because I ideally to attain a law degree which is very expensive in the long run over 7+ years of schooling. Something I am not able to afford on my own without being in debt for my entire life unless I become super successful which is the exact opposite of the reason as to why I want to be a lawyer in the first place. But above all of that, it gives me a sense of purpose in an otherwise purposeless existence. I'm a bit weird when it comes to that.

    Yeah, I mean, for the most part everything is fine! But if I can't enlist in the Military after the standard 3 year period for this type of injury I'll be really upset. The only thing I can see to do is to achieve a better level of fitness than i had the first time around to show that it's not inhibiting me in anyway shape or form. Failing that, in the time i'm waiting i'm going to at least go to school so if I don't get to enlist I still have made progress towards my future.

    And I thought highschool was a pain in the ass...

    it happened back in june. so its been more than long enough that i should be back to normal. and while i'm fine physically... i can't say its as easy to adapt mentally. as i've said, it's temporarily dq'd me(possibly permanently) from enlisting in the military. its crappy because i don't think most people realize how significantly it can alter your life. i can't ever smoke again, which while i suppose is for the better, it was something that i enjoyed doing. i probably wont be able to go scuba diving, sky diving, go in a submarine etc. due to the change in oxygen levels at the different altitudes/pressures. basically if i do anything that has an effect on your breathing i have to be extra careful when it comes to it because my breathing is more easily affected than someone who had not had this occur.

    My lung collapsed! :/ A pretty crappy thing to happen, especially considering it bars me(at least temporarily) from enlisting in the Military which is what I was in the middle of doing when it happened. I was literally at MEPS when it happened.
