thank God for my trip to meps being successful i went last week and did almost all the medical physicall but i could not go any further because i needed a ear wash i guess it was too much ear wax for them to see so i sat in the main waiting area for about 3 hours waiting for someone to take me to the shuttle and then today i went back to get my ear wash done and then went back to meps and the doctor looked in my ear and said congradulations mr. mele you are now medically qualified for the air force, so then i went back to the air force part of meps and then i didnt have my birth certificate so they were not going to put me in yet but they decided to do it anyways i just dont have a job yet until i fax one in.. after that i went for an interview got fingerprints printed and then i got sworn in it was funny the guy next to me when you swear in he says repeat after me i state your full name i said my name but the other guy was like i state my full and then he heard me and just started laughing and hurried up and said his name and well thats pretty much it... im in the air force now!! im so happy

I did fine in meps until I said I may have had allergy caused asthma when I was younger... That got the meps doctor to write me off... My primary doctor always said he disagreed with the asthma diagnosis, and had me tested, and wrote "no asthma" on several pages of my medical records, and they told me I still wasn't accepted because it said the word "asthma" on the report I turned it... The fact that "Does not have" was before it every time doesn't matter... The very fact I even got myself tested for it killed my case. They're that paranoid about it...

They finally conceded that I could get in with the word asthma on my report, but they said I couldn't get in because I graduated from a Charter school...

It's cool you got through that nightmare... That's something I never want to do again...
