Permanently disqualified for eczema? And they wonder why they aren't meeting recruiting requirements now.
In 1987 I tried to enlist in the Airforce during my senior year of high school. I got disqualified because of eczema. I got a letter from my doctor, but I still got rejected. It broke my heart. I went home and literally cried! I ended up going to college and getting a job as a Probation Officer. After all these years It still bothers me sometimes. God Bless.
I went through a similar situation. It literally took me a year and a bunch of medical records from every doctor I had ever been to. I was on the verge of giving up when I finally got the call that I'd been approved. Don't give up just yet. Sometimes you just have to focus on something else and give it time.
+Brille Dennison thanks!
Same.
for future refrences, they only know what you tell them.
2 Glizzy agreed. best advice i ever got. everything at MEPS like jail time, fines, etc., for fraudulent enlistment is usually for such extreme cases. no need to tell them something as small as eczema, therapist visits, past recreational drug usage, etc.,
True im currently on edge for spilling the beans and saying i had childhood asthma from age 5 to age 8 now i need to submit medical records and pharmacy record but here's the fucked up side i have inhaler prescription bc my mom asks for them even after not having problems for many years so either i get a waiver or just PDQ :(
luis jimenez I went to meps and lied about having asthma because I was misdiagnosed but unfortunately the doctor found a paper about me having it so now I have to hand in a shit ton of paper work for asthma I never had smh
thats true
2 Glizzy You gotta act like you never had a cold in yo lifeee
They just announced new standards today, and excema is no longer disqualifying! contact your recruiter if you're still interested, the information goes into affect feb 1st
+DrDeeAblo Gaming WOW!! Really? Do u have the info for that or a link I could read over?? And thanks !
Dominga Shataun www.airforcetimes.com/articles/air-force-loosens-tattoo-rules-recruiting-restrictions
+DrDeeAblo Gaming thank you !
Dominga Shataun Best of luck if you join! I'd wait until feb 1st before contacting a recruiter. 17 years old here shipping February 28th :)
+DrDeeAblo Gaming will do!thank you so much for this information! And that's so awesome for you, let me know how everything goes with you when you ship out!!
I was actually permanently disqualified TWICE for high blood pressure. However i Don't actually have it i just get high BP in stressful environments. I went to the regular doctors and had all normal readings. The Surgeon General of the Air Force approved me last week. then randomly some kids mom dies in a tragic accident and his job was one of the first on my list and i was the only one in DEP that qualified for it. So now i ship out Tuesday 9/6 i have literally been in the DEP for 5 days.
Yea man my BP was high too because I get really nervous too. The good thing is the personal exam doctor took it again and he said you don't have high blood pressure and I was able to qualify the first time. I go to Basic Training next week and I hope I don't have any problems this time I go to MEPs
How did it go? Did you qualify in MEPs?
Yeah of course, i was cleared by the Surgeon General of he Air Force. I've already been Active duty now for 5 months.
High blood pressure was why I had been disqualified from joining the Navy in August 1994.
Have the SAME PROBLEM. My pressure gets high as soon as I stress, so I’m worried about that as well!
I literally just seperated because i was diagnosed as mentally and emotionaly unstable and i can not re enlist in the Air Force which was one of my biggest dreams so i feel you just keep your head up maybe God has a better plan for you❤
Twinn Kiran how could they diagnose you with that? Did you cry a lot ?
@@zoegomez4110 In 1984 I was a senior in high school. I got a call from a Marine Corps recruiter and wanted to know about enlisting.
I made an appointment to see him and I told him I could not join do to "issues" I have and my ASVAB score was low and I was considered ineligible. He did not ask for any pertinent information about it but he would take me to M.E.P.S. and I would undergo a physical exam.
You are barred from all the branches sorry to say
I was a Tech Sgt. in the USAF. I was active and Reserve. You seem like a very nice young Lady. I wish you all the best. The USAF is great but all the Branches are. The score you received on the ASVAB is awesome! Take your time and consider ALL the options in your life. It seem like you've really got your head in the right place. Remember, if have something going on for yourself now in the way of schooling, there is always the Reserve option. The Reserve will provide you with tuition money and real life employment skills. You mentioned God, earlier in Video. I'm glad you did. The Lord, Jesus Christ loves you. Pray and trust. You continue to do your part, he will do his part, Guaranteed! All the beat! ♱ 🇺🇸👮
Don Blake thank you for your kind words I recently got accepted and went to MEPS, now I am just waiting for a waiver 🙏🏽 ruclips.net/video/3irKQpEW1js/видео.html
@@DomingaShataun All the best to you, Kiddo! ♱🇺🇸
@Booby Belly nigga pleaze respect the Prophet peace and blessings upon him
her recruiter was not helpful smh
Sounds like all Air Force recruiters. They were mean and not helpful at all to me. Working with another recruiter in the Army and they have been helping me and working with me 100%.
well my recruiter is good she's cool but she is also the only air force recruiter in my station every other branch have like 5 ppl or more which is crazy BorisIvy
sounds like the navy recruiters...not helpful and don't respond at all
My navy recruiter was amazing.... Got me the job I wanted and even an enlistment bonus
lucky you
Before I even opened my mouth about any medical questions, my recruiter said, "80% of applicants are disqualified for medical conditions." I was like EIGHTY PERCENT?! What in the world are you guys disqualifying people for?? Any and everything. I'm sorry, girl. I hope it ends up working out for you. Either way, God has a plan. It may not be what you think you want or expect, but it'll be something amazing.
I'm guilty of taking this video at face value and assuming you didn't get into the Air Force. But as I saw your channel, you proved me wrong! I'm so proud of you! From a fellow Air Force applicant who was just MEPS approved about a week ago, you make me feel there is no limit!
I can tell by your voice it’s heart breaking for u 😢 but hopefully navy hit you back 🤞🏾
You shouldn’t be disqualified for Eczema. I would go talk to a different recruiters office. I have eczema and they haven’t said anything.
How bad is the eczema?
Congratulations that you eventually made it. I was recently disqualified from the Marine Corps for having dislocated my shoulder a couple years ago. I haven’t had any problems with it. My recruiter is fight his hardest for me and we are trying to sort it out. This video gives me hope. Hopefully I make it
Just got my waiver approved after a month of waiting, truly fortunate
Certain waivers the military doctors will not grant.
I'm near retirement. I am sorry for your experience. sounds like you are going through some trials. keep you head up and your hears to God's lips. He will reveal something better for you. Maybe not the military. But if you decide to fight your PDQ I can ask the senior recruiter where I'm at. if you're still interested.
Troy Timmer are you still in USAF ?
Yes i am.
Troy Timmer do you have an email I can use to message?
+A' Revolution you can send me a message on Instagram that's always quicker @domingaShataun
I don't give out my email but, Instagram....same name. Message me there.
wow, i love you for making this video. A lot of people only post the good. You never see the failures or the time people hit rock bottom. It’s nice to see these type of videos because it lets you know you’re not alone when something doesn’t go as planned. EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON ! Every single thing happens for a reason and i know that everything that’s happened to you is to set you up for something greater in the future! Best of luck to you babygirl ❤️
thank you so much. and yes it it all in Jesus's perfect timing❣️❣️❣️
I left the Marine Corp DEP to join the Navy and i had to wait 5 months to get a SINGLE paper that didn't even have a paragraph on it. Honestly I think the Navy is amazing and I am so excited to join the Navy DEP program.
Well, I am about to leave the Navy's DEP to go the Air Force route because of the stupid ass budget cuts and now I have to wait until the new fiscal year (FY) for more openings and shit! I would've left on the 16th of this month too..
Sounds like you had a bad recruiter.
And that female recruiter was unhelpful that you had to deal with.
+Jack Lan So does that also mean you are out of luck with ever joining the military in the future, too?
+Jack Lan But sometimes proving to the military that the disqualifying defect was a misdiagnoses does not always work even if the doctor noted that you never had it. The military sometimes just ain't going to buy "Oh, it was just a misdiagnosis and I swear on a stack of bibles that I have never ever had it in my whole life." I watched another youtube video about a man who was denied twice by the Air Force after trying to prove he does not have eczema on his arm. And he submitted medical documents stating he has never had it before and everything. Waiver was submitted and it got denied twice. So with that, it's like being between a rock and a hard place trying to prove you never had the disqualifying defect your entire life in the first place and don't have it now. It's a damned-if-you-do-damned-if you-don't worse case scenario. And many applicants going through this may find the military enlistment process a frustrating experience because of that reason.
+Jack Lan And unfortunately, what if the waiver approval authority/Surgeon General of the military branch the applicant is trying to join is too familiar with the "I have never had this defect my entire life; it was all a misdiagnosis" story? Hopefully that is not the case but it could be unfortunately likely that the military probably has heard the story too many times and sometimes won't buy it.
Wow, sorry! Yeah I got DQ'd from the navy a couple of months back for high BP (not to discourage you from the navy). So they told me to get it checked from a physician outside of meps 2 times back to back. I did that and my BP was at a normal level and like you I waited close to 3 months just to here back from them. Every time I asked my recruiter he told me that the papers hasn't been processed yet and one day 3 months later he told me I've been dq'd for it. Asked whats the next step and he told me maybe another branch. I came back home from school and a month later he said I could get a waiver for it because he didn't know then. This time I went to the army recruiter and now in the process of transferring my paper work. So don't give up! Too much hard work went into all of this; definitely the planning part! We got this!
+David S!X Moore wow that's crazy, yah it's all a waiting game now
I wish I had known this because I was medically disqualified from the Navy in August 1994. Then, I applied for a medical waiver and my waiver unfortunately denied. Plus was told that I was PMR.
@Booby Belly yeah turns out the doc at that meps wrote some bs the army doc asked about it and was like you’re good..I actually just got out
I got my eczema waiver approved but it was for the Marines. I'm pretty sure it differs case by case and by branch.
Im so glad your not giving up! I myself had tried to go for air force, slightly same story but i had medical bills on my report that ended up disqualifying me, so now im trying the navy, so far so good for me i just have to take my test again i made a 41 the last time and my recruiter wants me to make a 50 or higher. I know that God has a plan stored for us all. 😊
+Lira h thank you!
You can do this I believe in you. I really hope everything works out for you. Honestly would be happy if you went into the Navy but the Air Force is just as amazing. I can't wait to hear what is next in your life and I will keep following you no matter what.
Other branches provide waivers and accept people who are disqualified from the USAF. Rank (pay) is also faster in the army than the USAF.
Hey, the system is flawed- of course it is, but thank you for trying to serve your country. My words are hollow, but we need more people like you on earth. Godspeed.
Such a humble woman! Love your attitude and personality!
I was disqualified from the Air Force. Every day I wake up and I feel a huge amount of guilt that there are others serving and I will never have the chance to do my part. I hope that someday I will feel better, but I seriously doubt that I will ever feel any less pain and guilt whenever I see or hear about someone in the service. I feel I've let my family and country down.
singergirldp why were you DQ?
As someone who was disqualified 10 years ago and is now enlisting, it's so nice to see it ended up working out for you. 😊
what qualified you this time
@MannyMarcano Well, my issue was my hearing. It was just barely below the standard. 10 years ago, they were begging for people to get out of the military, so it was very hard to get in. No waiver for me. Now they need people, so I was able to try again, and somehow, I ended up just passing the hearing test. The first time ten years ago was at the San Diego, CA Meps. This time was in Nebraska. Going to a better meps was honestly a huge part of it. The people were nicer and better and more willing to work with me. Places where there's a huuuge population don't care about getting you in.
Gee, I know that stinks. I was rejected for a waiver from the Army National Guard for nearsightedness in 2013 :(. But I still want to join the military.
I got a letter saying I was disqualified for my sulfa allergy. After my recruiter told me that my waver was approved. I got another letter yesterday stating that I was permanently band for entry in the armed forces of the United States. Texted my recruiter and they told me that they had just gotten an email asking when I would be taking the asvab again. So something isn't right. I should be getting the news today if I'm ever going to go into the navy or not. I didn't even look this video up. I've been trying to keep all of this off my mind so I don't stress myself out but you were on my newsfeed. And decided to watch due to current situations. I do hope you're able to get into the military. It's all so stressful.
And I just got the call. I'm still good for the Navy! Apparently meps is required to send a letter, but for some reason the kept sending me those letters. Even though meps disqualified me the navy chose to take me in. A lot of stress has just been lifted, but my process isn't over yet.
So because you have a sulfa allergy, you are disqualified from the AF?
+Kathy McAlpine I've been trying to get into the navy. Meps disqualified me, but the navy accepted my waiver for the allergy. It was a disqualification because I'm highly allergic.
Thanks for the response. My daughter is thinking of joining the AF when she graduates next June. We always put down that she's allergic to Sulfa because when she was little she had a reaction of breaking out in hives when she took sulfa (about 8 days later).
She should be fine. She will go through meps, and depending on how severe, they may disqualify her. If disqualified a waver will be sent to the branch which she is trying to join, and they will be the ones to pass her through.
There is a waiver for everything. Give it a year or two and try again if it is really what you want.
new air force update ruclips.net/video/Te2ziPgQnaA/видео.html
#Facts, in my day, [I'm old], flat feet had to be waivered; I can step on a dime and tell you if it's Denver or Philadelphia minted, but I still got to go to Air Assault and Airborne schools.
Stay strong. That's some bull crap. I'm in the Army Reserves. Proud of you for not giving up and keep going on with life.
+AlphaGod Keyz thanks so much
+Dominga Shataun H you're welcome. I had a mess up when I was trying to join the Army. I have a GED & need 50 on the ASVAB & ended up getting a 47. No wavers or anything for GED people. So I had to go reserves. I was not taking that test again lol
+AlphaGod Keyz wow that's crazy, good for you
You've got this babe. Make sure you have everything you need and honestly I'd say go navy because they seem to better to work with. Keep your head up and I love you vids. Take care
+Colleen Norgard thank you so much ! I'll make sure to keep you guys updated on what's happening
Hey good luck with everything! fingers crossed everything works out! I'm rooting for you , just passed my asvab for the air force with your 3 step video and others!
+Leonard Collier aww thank you so much I'm so glad you passed!!!
Literally my issue but I'm still waiting to hear back, I was misdiagnosed with eczema and I got reviewed and confirmed with no eczema, I really hope I get everything works out 😁
+Nathali Blanco wow hope everything works out with you as well
@Booby Belly been in for almost 4 years now 😁
Hey I just wanted to let you know that I'm going through the same kind of struggle except I went through all the MEPS crap and that's when they disqualified me permanently. I'm still starting to recover from it so I know it's tough but we'll make it.
+Toby Overton I'm sorry to hear that.
PDQ means that your condition is perminant, not that you are Permantly DQ'd as standards can change.. Thats why he needs paperwork saying you dont have it. For example. A broken bone is a TDQ, aka Temporary, because the bone will heal.. But if you get surgery, the surgery is PDQ, because you had surgery, and the surgery is perminant, you cant go back and undo it... NOW, im sure youve seen youtube videos, but PDQ's are waiverable depending on the condition. So dont get discouraged.. From my experience, the Marines are the best branch when it comes to recruiters. They really work with you. Just don't let the term PDQ scare you, it just means you need to find your way to MEPS to get your DQ and send up a waiver. I've got bad vision, correctable to 20/20, but my paperwork hasn't been perfect. Im currently waiting on my second BUMED, post DQ. I'll let you know how it goes.. but don't ever let them tell you no. There are ways. I've already been to MEPS twice, taken the physical and all, so now its just a matter of getting the approval to go DEP in.
+Tyler Clarke thanks, definitely let me know how it goes for you
Tyler Clarke PDQ stands for "Physical Disqualified" not permanent DQ.
TDQ=Temporary DQ
PDQ=Permanent DQ
will do! still waiting, you know how it goes. lol
TDQ meaning temporary condition like broken bone or pregnant
PDQ meaning permanent condition like having surgery (because you cant undo a surgery) or allergy.
If you've been to MEPs it says it on your paperwork.
I tottallly understand. I wanted at first to go into the Air Force but my recruiter litterly didn't ever work with me. I told him that I been off anti-depressions for a while now and I had a very low dose when I was and I even had a doctor's note twice updating this and that he would send it in. Well he litterly fucked me around for over 5 months saying we have to wait 6 months to a year JUST to send in a weaver if I will be accepted or not due to medical. I called and left messages and texted him, he obviously reads it because it says he reads my text but no responses, not call backs, nothing. I never got updated about if I got accepted or not. So I said fuck this, I went to join the Navy and I just didn't even mention my anti-depressions because if you been off a long time, its not worth the shit going through the medical people. So I 100% agree with this. However something simple like my situation and Dominga(sadly her situation didn't go as planned); if you do have a medical condition that does actually effect you (like asthma) don't lie to the military about it because if they find out, it will be 100 times worse then saying it in the beginning. Goodluck everyone and Dominga ;~;!
+Rachel Pollack thank you Rachel !
Rachel Pollack I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety back in 2014. I have been off of the antidepressants for 2 years, however I dont know if I should tell my recruiter about it when I meet with her on tuesday. Any suggestions?
@@tiawhite4109 did you ever get in? I'm in the same predicament as well.
awww whatever you do, just dont give up sweetheart!!! You seem like you've worked sooo hard to get where you are! So keep at cause im rooting for you🎉✊🎉
+Nae.l Chelz thank you so much!!!
Keep up the vegan diet, take hemp seed oil capsules, and do some stress relieving activities like meditation and exercise and your skin flares will go away for good.
Your gonna make it stay strong my sister!!!
+Mos Bella thank you!
I got rejected at MEPS, I know the frustration. You got your whole life ahead of you. One door closes, another opens. Hope all is well with your life. God bless.
The Air force and Navy are super hard to get into. One thing i learned from joining the Army is dont put crap on your paperwork unless its something serious like something to do with your internal organs because it will come out during basic training , had a guy lie about a heart condition and during the pt he almost died and was kicked out and jailed for lying on his form. I had low blood pressure which is a disqualification but i never put it down and just managed it on my own and never had a issue in my 6 years in
yup def learned the hard way but i finally got approved ruclips.net/video/3irKQpEW1js/видео.html
I've went to mep so many time one because I got a good enough asvab score for the marines at the office but when I got there I did my physical which I passed but I was at my max weight but at the end they wanted me to get a higher score then the second time I got a higher score score on my asvab and then I went home after that and the thie time I went it was to reweigh myself and I was one pound under the max limit for 5'3 so I lost one pound in one month and finish my paper wore then swore in ... And then the I went again because my recruiter thought that I hadn't sign my contract but I did and went there for no reason lol
I'm so sorry honey. I spoke to a reserve recruiter first and told him that I "might" have eczema. and he said DON'T tell anyone that if you wanna get in the Air Force. I got lucky. but I hope things get better
Everything will be fine just trust and pray🙏
the reason why they are strict is not personal.U cannot focus if stress brings on a skin condition that makes u unable to focus 100 percent,eczema i know for ex soreness, itching ,agitation try having on the eye lid etc etc .Its about being in the army will obviously bring on stress ,and i agree 100 percent for their reasoning .Being undiagnosed is another thing.Stress is the num one thing that will bring on a bout of eczema .
I want to go to the air Force but I can't because I have anxiety/depression.
I was just at meps today and got pdq for not being able to keep my hands still cause I was nervous so I was the only one in the group who didn't pass
When were they looking at your hands??
Everyone watch this journey and don’t believe always what they tell u . Like permanently disqualified. Watch her journey for the results
Oh my god the Air Force makes things so complicated! I've had to turn in my medical papers twice because I got DQ'd the first time because I broke the same bone twice when I was really little. Like what?!? Finally got through though!
I'm in my process for my waiver now for freaking breastfeeding it's almost 4 weeks now haven't got anything..how long you waited?
Aspiring Bleh The first time I waited 2 weeks and got DQ, but the second time it only took a week and a half. That's a really long time, I'd call my recrutier if I were you. (:
One possible option you can try is have a doctor clear you of eczema. If you don't have it and have a dermatologist confirm it on a letter head. Have them submit that letter with a hand written statement saying that you don't suffer from it. It's called a medred and the Navy can send it up. If you get those two letters from the doctor and use those with your paperwork (2807), that will help. It will have to go to BUMED.
air force has new policy changes i uploaded a video on it ruclips.net/video/Te2ziPgQnaA/видео.html
Oh my!! I am so sorry you had to go through that. I know the feeling kinda. My recruiter told me i was disqualified because I had a student loan to pay off. I got that. But she was very rude and told me I pretty much couldn't join her air force because I went to college. I should've did what you did and tired another recruiter. And on another note. Don;t give up on the air force. My friend who's in says reuters like that just don't care and/or want to work harder then they already have too. Plus the Air force has a bette life style I've been told. In my family theres a member in every branch. An most of them wished they joined the Air Force instead of the Marines or Army or Navy. Anyway I do want to thank you for making the videos you do. There very helpful and funny. Keep posting an i'll I keep watching.
That recruiter was unprofessionally tripping. I would have gotten her name and rank and reported her to her supervisor for her rude behavior that makes the recruiting environment an unwelcoming place for people. I would tell her about herself and how rude she is being.
Rose Watkins you got disqualified because of a student loan? That's weird but if you went to college and want to join Air Force you should try to become a officer instead of enlisting. Enlisted members have a high school degree and officers have a bachelors degree depending on what degree you have . Officers make more money than enlisted. I'm currently enlisted in the Air Force Reserves and I'm going to school to become a officer and go active duty through ROTC. Hopefully you find the best way to join if you still want to.
Rose Watkins Are you over 39? If not then you should try again! A diff recruiter.
I don't know if things have changed much in 30 years but they said I was asthmatic and failed me the first time. 18 months later I went back and the same doctor passed me.
Just join the Civil Air Patrol. It's the USAF Auxiliary you can fly in Cessna 182's and do real missions given to you by the USAF. Mostly commonly Search & Rescue, and Disaster Relief. You'll also get to work with the national guard, fire departments, american red cross, salvation army, FEMA ect. Also 95% of inland SAR (search and rescue) missions are done by Civil Air Patrol, the other 5% are done by USCG and volunteer groups. CAP saves more than 70+ lives annually from these missions and they are considered part of the total force for the USAF. It's like the American Red Cross, but you get to fly in a multitude of airplanes, utilized communications equipment, wear USAF uniforms with distinctive patches/logos, you'll get a flight suit etc. Long story short, it's like if the American Red Cross was a quasi-military organization. Definitely worth a shot. You could earn a life saver metal or better, the highest possible achievement in the CAP. The Silver Medal of Valor. It's like CAP's version of a purple heart. It's given after someone achieves a heroic act that put themselves in danger so they could save another life. You can earn it even when not in uniform. CAP has 60,000+ members both adults and teens, 550+ aircraft, 900+ land vehicles. Check it out. :) Semper Vigilans.
Now look, you done returned back from basic !!!
THAT PART!!!
Man that is tough to hear I hope everything ends up working out for you and you get in the military I know how frustrating it is you want to get in so bad. But there is always something holding back. Yesterday I took my Asvap retest for the 3rd time and I missed it by 3. And it sucks because last time I missed it by 2. And now I have to wait 6 months until I can take it again and that's just to much down time. It's frustrating but it's something I really wanna do. So keep your head up
+Anthony Hernandez wow sorry to hear that, hope it works out for you as well
Omg I just watched this video and then in the middle of the video i stopped and i looked at your recently videos!! YOU MADE IT!!! Happy for you!
😂😂🥳🥳💓 THANK YOUUUU!! Love these comments !!! 6 years of videos paid off lol 😂🙏😂🥳💓
@@DomingaShataun not gonna lie i saw this video and got really scared. i had anemia in 6th grade and as far as i know i dont have it but i rly hope that i dont get permanently disqualified.
I'm sorry to hear this. I know we talked briefly in your last video about how tough it has been to get the scores we really wanted with the ASVAB. I'm still waiting on retesting as I didn't get the score I wanted. Everything else is fine with me because I told myself whatever I score this time that is it. I'm settling for it but I didn't score what I did the precious time so I told myself wait and try again and go from there but medically and everything else I haven't had this issue and it's sad because I know how we all want this opportunity and just with the ones who get disqualified. I just leave it in Gods hands but tell myself to keep going for what I know I want in my heart. Things will work out for you. I would say in the mean time do everything else that is important which is schooling and working. I haven't stopped that because I need to be doing those things plus, like you, I'm not one to sit around because I do get bored and can't just stay in a house all day.
Don't be sad. I know the feeling with dealing with other stuff and I know it's hard but you have to keep pushing for the best
+SHNERDiGUYo7 hi again! Thanks so much for your kind words, I know it's very difficult for the people who want to do well but just encounter many roadblocks. That's why like you, I've put it all in Gods hands and I will be happy with whatever he has planned for me because I know it will be better than I could ever imagine. I've just registered for classes this fall, I'm taking a full load this semester so maybe I'll be able to get more credits in if I do end up going! I hope you're able to pass this test with flying colors :D and let me know how it goes! Thanks again ❤️
Dominga Shataun H I wish you luck and I appreciate the kind words, and will keep you posted on what is given to me in due time! Hopefully you post another video just because lol, best of luck again!
+SHNERDiGUYo7 awesome! Also just let me know if there's any video you'd like me to post: Q&A, tag, more about military? (Just trying to see what ppl want me to continue posting lol) thanks!
Oh my god that's so horrible, get that doc's note, misdiagnosis is so bad :/ Hope you're doing okay
hey i just uploaded a new air force video about my update ruclips.net/video/Te2ziPgQnaA/видео.html
I'm thinking of joining the military, I've had a rough life and this is something I've always wanted to do however I am a very nervous and have a couple of concerns. In middle school I was diagnosed with high blood pressure and type two diabetes after a while I sort of stopped believing in medication that it helps us all so I sort of stopped taking it and I haven't had a problem, I haven't had any symptoms I've been doing fine anytime that I do decide to check my blood sugar at home it is really never over 100 and I eat whatever I want to, do whatever I want but I have to lose a certain amount of weight and I am trying to do that as of now my concern is I've been watching RUclips on mine to your recruiter which I really do not want to do but I also do not want these elements to maybe stand in my way of what my dream is and I just kind a need it vice on what I should do when it comes to those two problem areas.
I can't believe they would do that for regular exzema!!!!!! Craycray
I got dish qualified for a meaningless misdemeanor and misdiagnosed. But my recruiter was racist as well. I told them, dont call me or draft me when Russia is at the door. Life goes on and imma focus on my business and career.
Dominga, don't give up on your dream.
This just popped up on my recommended and im glad everything is worked 5 years later
That is so crazy! Good luck with everything!
+Vicky Eason thank you
I've been trying to reenlist and being prior service I have had to 3 LOEs saying I should be allowed to rejoin I had to get a doctors letter as well it's been such a pain I would already be in if they didn't limit the amount of ps they accept a year the new fiscal year starts oct. 1st they initially disqualified me but I proved there wasn't anything wrong. My problem was my dd214 had contradictory information. If you need specific advice I can help!(:
+Madalyn Pruett thank you

The Air Force is now accepting potential candidates with asthma and eczema... you are the first person who can through my mind.
+Rachel Adotevi aw thank you. I actually just made a video about the policy changes and everything. I'm so happy I heard about it❤️
Stay strong I support you!
The meps doctor misdiagnosed me saying I have scoliosis when i've ran 2 spartan obstacle challenges, the marine corps bootcamp challenge, the gladiator obstacle challenge and 12 5ks. I've never had any back problems and they disqualified me so then my recruiter sent in my waiver and I put all that down on a sheet my recruiter gave me so i can explain that to the general surgeon. The general surgeon accepted my waiver thankfully, they tell you at the briefing in meps that each service has its own restrictions so you can try another branch and they may accept you but i dont know cause im not fully knowledgeable on that subject. Good luck!.

If you are still interested in the air force I know they've recently changed
Check out kyle gott's medical waiver video or go talk to your recruiter again keep in mind that the change is very recent and the recruiter might not know about it
thank i just uploaded a video talking about itruclips.net/video/Te2ziPgQnaA/видео.html
I went through something similar but for a different, and more problematic, medical issue. My issue was resolved by writing my congressman. I sent the letter, 14 days later recruiter called me back and said it was good to do.
+InformalGreeting wow I never heard/thought of that
So, your Congressman was able to help you get a waiver?
For eczema?! Really? I had childhood eczema until maybe the age of 8. Is that disqualifying?
+Tatyanna Travis no I wouldn't even mention it if you don't have it anymore
That sucks.... sorry to hear that.
+T.McWilliams TV thank you
So sorry this happened to you Dominga...Keep your head up!
+KahlBlu thank you
My Daughter was also medically disqualified for eczema. Fortunately, she received a waiver after obtaining personal statements and additional medical records. But just be aware that the Air Force will disqualify.
*** Good luck in all you do. " Keep on Keeping on "
thank you i just uploaded a video on policy changes ruclips.net/video/Te2ziPgQnaA/видео.html
But they except people who do drugs and have records ????
This is soooo hard to hear . I can hear your pain . Ouch it hurts . How ridiculous!!! I can’t . So sorry baby girl
I want to join the Navy. I have a master's in International business. However, I have multiple hereditary osteochoma. It doesn't effect my life anymore (and it never really did to begin with). I've had 3 surgeries to remove them from my body and on the last one I had a fully body scan that showed that I didn't have any more problematic ones. In addition, I had my ACL and meniscus repaired. The multiple hereditary osteochondroma is on the lost ofndisqualifying medical conditions. Dont know If it's worth it to bother...knowing I'm going to fail.
@Booby Belly Nope. Neck scar for the surgery means they needed the paperwork. Didnt get very far after they had that paperwork
dang that sucks. I hope you get in. my recruiter told me before hand to have a note about being anemic after I had gallbladder surgery, saying that I'm not anemic it was because of the gallbladder. now just waiting for it to get approved. good luck.
I'm in the same position! I had my gallbladder removed and I was told I'm anemic.
Mary Faircloth did your waiver get approved?
I got PDQ'd and have a waiver pending after submitting extensive paperwork on my ankle hardware. Bear in mind, I run 50 miles a week and passed every ortho/neuro exam and got an 83 on the ASVAB. I pray I get a waiver approved after they see I passed every test. Fingers crossed.
Update: Got my waiver and I'm in the clear. Enlisted as an Aviation Mechanic
army vet here! stay up girl!
+Josephine Thompson thanks girl
Josie Jo I got disqualified for a Abnormal Pap. Can I get waiver?
good luck with everything and I am sorry that happened
+Isaac Williams thank you
To join any military branch: MUST be both physically and mentally PERFECT. Got it🤷🏽♀️I’m predict personally disqualified beforehand of being told so. Adult and handled adhd ( I take supplements for memory and focus) and scoliosis with rods at age 14
Woah, your story is probably the most unique one Ive heard of
Im wishing the best for your future! 😌
+kiah43 thank you so much that means so much, and yeah I'm still kind of in shock about what's been happening lol
sorry to hear this. I am going through something just as challenging sheet being discharged in 2011. do your research very thoroughly. you may have to wait a couple years and try again. i actually had a rash the first time which i didn't mention on my medical prescreen because i didn't have it at the time but I did have it when I went to MEPS from there they sent me to their dermatologist who diagnosed it as self clearing within a few weeks then i got cleared once I went back to meps. point is if they're concerned let them look at you because most issues aren't detrimental. my discharge was for something else just as challenging as your situation and I have faith that everything will workout for myself, you, and anyone else who's trying to get in. you're welcome to contact if you want to talk about the struggle.
+Antoinette Harding wow that's crazy, so many stories have been shared about everyone's own struggles with trying to get in so I know I'm not alone in this. thank you so much for your support and understanding, and yes I pray it works out for you as well. And I'll be keeping everyone updated on my progress
+Antoinette Harding thank you for sharing! I definitely won't give up❤️❤️
I know the feeling girl... I was so close in joining in the airfroce and then got a called from the recruiter. Got a 88 on the asvab. He said I couldn't join because of my credit. I had a collection and own 20k, deeply in debt. He talked to his boss and tried everything to get me in but his boss said no. He said even if I won the lottery and paid of the debt I still have that collection on my record. I could still join but I need at least a 65 (which I did) and I don't get to pick the job I want, they get to pick it. He said it won't be the same experience and said it would be better to join the navy than airforce.
just uploaded new video update ruclips.net/video/Te2ziPgQnaA/видео.html
don't give up joining the navy end of the year
Woa I needed to see this omg 😢😢😢🥺! I have eczema too but with the medication I only use it once a year and my skin is normal that’s crazy to disqualify you for that omg I’m not writing down a fuck thang when I get there I go next week to MEPS 🙏🏾🙏🏿
God Bless you! Pray for you all the best
It isn't a recruiter fault, doctors decide who gets in. I am sorry that you didn't get in... You were not so lucky at that time ! all the best
Hey! I'm sooo nervous, I have horrible test anxiety and it doesn't help that I also have ADHD. And I'm not even allowed to take my medication😑 taking the ASVAB in a few days.
So sorry 😢😢
hey just uploaded an update video ruclips.net/video/Te2ziPgQnaA/видео.html
Just wondered. Can someone who has hypoglycemia, endometriosis, and diverticulitis, and wear contacts join the air force? Its not been diagnosed, but there are visits to doctors leading to them.
So, watching your video made me think back to an experience that I had. I am currently deployed with the army. I have been in for 16 years with about 10 years in the national Guard. Back in 2011, I was preparing to deploy with my unit to Iraq. Well to make a long story short, they were drawing down troops in Iraq and we were stood down from deployment. We were told that it would be at least a year before we would deploy again. So I registered for school and got ready to continue on until about a month later. We had gotten notice that we were deploying to Afghanistan. I had decided to get out of the guard at that time since I was already at my ETS date. So I was out about 8 months before deciding to try out the reserves and went to a reserve recruiter. The doctor at MEPS told me that I had a hernia and that I would have to have surgery and wait 6 months. If I wanted to try joining then, I would require a waiver. I had never had any symptoms and did extremely heavy PT sessions so I though that it sounded kind of weird. So I ended up doing a consultation on my own and the doctor said that he couldn't find anything. Ended up going to another consultation with the same result of them not being able to find anything. Then sent that paperwork to MEPS. MEPS said I was good to go until they changed their minds. They wanted to schedule a consult with another doctor who was a surgeon. I guess that other specialties weren't enough for MEPS. Well, that doctor couldn't find anything either so finally MEPS allowed me to finish my paperwork and swear in to the reserves. That was back in June 2012 so I finally got back in and now I am deployed in Iraq. Seemed like MEPS was trying about everything to keep me out after having already been in for over 10 years as well as a previous deployment to Iraq in 2003.
god know why things happen, don't worry you will fin a wonderful military branch
