that sucks! they didn't give you the hearing test and everything at MEPS? i was there back in may and i went thru the full medical exam/tests. hearing was one of the tests we had to do.


i know now, for the CG, you can only be so big to be enlisted for them. they took measurements of my wrists and whatnot to make sure i cleared. i was DQ'd due to incomplete medical background from when i was a kid put on ritalin. i didn't have the paperwork from it. got it all straightened out and now i'm about to leave for the army.
