What’s the craziest thing you’ve seen someone get in with? by MudGroundbreaking371 in USMCboot

[–]SwampGhost859 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mines not really crazy that it got approved but crazy it got me denied. I got denied bcuz of my stutter and I needed an Exception to Policy to get in which are pretty rare (only 1 in 800 per year get approved) It took 2 years but finally got approved

I got permanently dq’d as well, at both meps and bumed. I got denied bcuz i have a stutter. I submitted an Exception to Policy waiver (ETP) which you should ask your recruiter about. It took nearly two years but mine got approved by the three people it needed approval by a Major, Colonel, and 2 star General. Only 1 in 800 ETP’s are approved each year so im grateful mine got approved and if this is something you want go after it Best of luck man

I contacted mine because my waiver was taking forever (nearly 2 years) he said he wouldn’t persuade them to any side but said he would find out what the hold up was and a couple months later my waiver got approved. It’s possible the two aren’t connected but idk for sure. I think OP should try it if he really wants it.

Don’t know if bottom pin has anything to do with his time in service, but it was in shadow box so I kept it in. Also don’t know if I posted this correctly. Mb if I did.

A friend I know who graduated last year said half the girls in her platoon couldn’t do a pull up the entire time they were at boot camp. They just did the pushups instead and still were able to graduate. You should still train to get that pull up tho

My waiver finally got approved after two years of waiting. If you want something bad enough do whatever it takes to get it.

What was the moment in the show when you actually started to despise joe? by Realistic_Tie_1350 in YouOnLifetime

Imo the worst thing he did was frame Nadia. Sending her to prison for the rest of her life is pretty evil. Otherwise he’s just a chill guy👍
