I am sorry to hear that a physical problem kept you out of the service Richard, and that you wanted to serve.
My Father had applied, tested & was accepted into West Point, pending his physical. He didn't know, but he had Juvenile Asthma...he was denied entry also.
I fought to get in, I went to the Attorney General of tha AF, they said I had an unbelievable Scolitic curve in my back...the technician who took the X-ray at MEPS forgot to tell me to take my shoes off, I was wearing heels
.
I got an independant X-ray & made application for a review & they accepted it! The rest is History!
Just a reflection...
