<DIV>Hansen,</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I know that you think you are an expert on the qualifications to be in the current Army, but you aren't. I have already talked to the military recruiters in Spokane, CDA, Moscow, Pullman, Boise, and Mountain Home Air Force Base. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>It is very simple, I cannot enlist because of a medical condition. I can get a wavier for those conditions, but only for the positions Chaplin, Doctor, Lawyer, or Nurse. Those are all officer positions. By the time I completed my nursing degree, boot camp, Officer training, I will have passed my 34th birthday without prior enlistment of commission, so I am too old. We did the math. Turns out I will be over 35 before I would be commissioned. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>You can believe what you want. But I have gone over this about 5 times with military recruiters trying to get me in. I just don't qualify, some people don't. I didn't in my early teens, and I
don't qualify now either. You believe what you want. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Best Regards,</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Donovan</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><B><I></I></B> </DIV> <DIV><B><I>Tom Hansen <thansen@moscow.com></I></B> wrote:</DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid">It isn't me that is making "Sergeant Oswalt" out to be so ignorant on Army <BR>policy.
