Needing some sympathy vibes

[blewaway5 0]

I've been suspecting this for a week or so now, but I got the official word today that the navy won't take me. I was trying to get in, but apparently my eye being a little bit out of whack was enough for them to not really want me around. Dammit!! I was really kind of counting on that since I'm tired of being stuck here and I really want to travel while I work. Oh well, yes, life goes on, but I'm allowed one evening of being unhappy about it.

Sympathy vibes coming your way. That definitly sucks. You are allowed more than one night of unhappiness about it too - if that's what you need.

Welcome my friends to the show that never ends.

Yeah, they are !!TIGHT!! about the asthma. I'd just tell him to make sure and tell them about it, and if he hasn't had any problems with it for a while now not to worry about it. I had to use an inhaler once (literally one time) when I had a bad case of bronchitus and they hammered me with that wanting to know if it was asthma. all you can do is tell them, cause if you son't and they find out then you are in trouble.

Also, Jimbo, You know how there are things in life that are important and other things that aren't? Thanks for pointing out that there could always be worse things happen to me.

Sorry to hear it man. Would've been nice to have more jumpers in the service.

Try the Coast Guard. They'll waiver anything. Smaller boats w/ no nuclear engines and no oilers = more port calls to refuel. And the first thing everyone wants to do as soon as they get on a boat is to get off of it. No matter how big it is.

Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Sorry to hear that man. Try to stay positive... something good will come out of this. This just leaves more doors open for other opportunities that you wouldn't have had in the service.

What about a different service? Would it still be good to go for the Air Force or the Coast Guard?
