oh yeah the idea of me having more social cachet than a MAGA who couldn't serve because they had asthma has them positively fuming

90% of the time it’s more “Couldn’t” serve than couldn’t serve. I was a flat footed psoriatic marfanoid quasi-anorexic and they let me in, fuck

I've concluded that if I tried to join, I'd likely have died in boot camp from heatstroke on account of hypohydrosis.

I mean, if it's any consolation that would have gotten basically your entire squadron demoted if not relieved of their duty Boot camp is a lot of things but it's basically impossible to die there unless you show up with cancer

Well, that's good, at least. If I was unable to do required physical stuff for the necessary length of time (or, if the temperature is just above 90F even if I'm not doing anything), what would have happened? Being kicked out and sent home?

It's a pretty big bureaucratic nightmare to get kicked out of boot camp even with that being an extremely common boot camp outcome When I was there it meant you'd go to a "med squadron" and they'd evaluate for a while if you REALLY couldn't cut it or just needed to toughen up

it's not an ideal situation because boot camp is basically jail and it's possible to linger in purgatory there in the med squadrons for several times longer than boot camp is actually supposed to take you DO collect paychecks though because you're still technically employed

The Marine Corps has a saying, “the fastest way off the/my island is the/my parade deck”—that it takes longer to fail out of boot camp than to graduate. Exceptions are made for obviously catastrophic injuries for which the Corps is fine with you coming back when you heal up

We had that saying in the Air Force too "The fastest way out of here is to graduate" or some such I lived in constant terror of even getting recycled, much less med squadded And it would have changed my whole future if it happened, likely not for the better

A small dragon was witnessed falsifying many of your test results, but just when they were about to start proceedings against you they found you at the top of that pole

along with Meeko from the Pocahontas movie for some grotesquely idiosyncratic but indisputably cute reason
