Prayers needed y'all. I am SO sick and down for my Son. His Military dreams probably dashed.

September 19, 2024 01:40AM
I got the word last night at around 9:30. I hardly slept for three hours last night. I am stilled pissed. When he first went to MEPS.........FIVE %^%$^ YEARS AGO, his pulse and BP was up. He was NERVOUS! He also has a very slight deficit of hearing loss in left ear. FOUR years ago, he went to a Cardiologist that found ZEO issues with his heart. But he wrote "Anxiety" on the report. And THAT is the key reason the USAF Surgeon General said......"D.Q." I am no Doctor but I DO know my Son has never been diagnosed with Anxiety and has never taken Meds for such a thing. I also know that Anxiety is NOT diagnosed by one EKG only. That poor kid has jumped through every hoop the Military has put before him. Some things FOUR times. I intend to first call his Recruiter this AM and then I want contact info for the USAF Surgeon Gen. I keep hearing sob stories about the Military being WAAAAY behind in Recruiting. I WONDER WHY??? When I was in the USAF, I worked with a guy who had nervous tics. One guy had a big time lazy eye. Anxiety???? My Son's current Recruiter said he got a Recruit signed up who had done PRIOR HARM TO HIMSELF??? Yeah....I'm going to be in full blown "Karen Mode" later this morning. Wish me luck.

UUUGH!!! I feel so bad! To think my Son was told that he was very close to getting there, just 3 weeks ago. Then they pull THIS Bullsh**??

  Thanks. I haven't felt this helpless in a long time. I'm gonna keep digging and be a PITA to MEPS and Recruitment.

Ramgator18September 21, 2024 01:47PM

21Dog21September 19, 2024 05:30AM

  All the reason it frustrates me. They cannot get 100% healthy kids to even look at a Recruiting Office

Ramgator25September 19, 2024 07:43AM

  Thats to bad

IowaRam32September 20, 2024 01:17PM

  I told him to at least consider the Navy again. With what you said, what kills me...

Ramgator30September 21, 2024 09:09AM

  Anything government run is a joke..

sstrams22September 21, 2024 05:55PM

  Two days ago, I had a USAF E-7, who is a MEPS Liaison tell me that.

Ramgator14September 22, 2024 02:44AM

  Literally a week after the Berlin Wall went down, you could see the decline. It's why I left the USAF.

Ramgator15September 22, 2024 03:06AM

  Part of the problem is what you mention..

sstrams18September 22, 2024 06:44AM

  I know two young men....

21Dog25September 22, 2024 05:01AM

  In just the past week, I have had a few people tell me the same. BUUT...

Ramgator17September 22, 2024 08:00AM

  sorry......didn't mean to be discouraging

21Dog19September 22, 2024 10:19AM

  NOOOOO. Not at all discouraging.

Ramgator18September 22, 2024 05:11PM

  I ain't giving up and neither is my Son. We still have ONE more card that might happen.

Ramgator24September 21, 2024 01:55PM

  Something that has really made me say WTF?? from VERY early in the game..
