mcmahan Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 well i did my physical and due to prvious jumps my body just wont let me do it. the doctors told me i couldnt do it. i have lower back problems plus knee and anchle problems. they told me that i have rumitoid arthritis. so because of that i was disqualified. im a little bumbed but i guess the good Lord has better plans for me. so i didnt let it get me down i took a flight test and passed. so hopefully soon i will be headed to warrant officer school and then on to flight school. so again wish me luck gents and ladies..

dmf21209 Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 sorry to hear about that, but you have a good backup plan. They have been offering us (air force) quite a bit to cross over and be a WO, they're hurtin for people I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

00silverad0 Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Hey bro, no matter what, we are all behind you. Maybe you were meant to be W.O. Anyways, I'm sure the wife will be a little less worried about you going W.O. than SF. Anything else you can do ie: Possible waiver from a private doctor ... I remember my a guy in my squad didnt qualify for Marine Force Recon due to preexisting medical so he tried a private doctor but I'm not sure what happened.

Eddie Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Good luck become a WO. But on the bright side with those condition documented in your medical record when you get out and talk to a VA counselor they be able to get you a second monthly paycheck for the rest of life. And It sounds like you would rate a Handicapped placard. Hello, front row parking for the SSS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
