Sorry to derail.
I'm not a vet but my dad was a drill.  Where did he interact with 12 drill sergeants?
My dad said he either had a platoon alone (very   unusual , but that was the 60s and 70s ,)  or had one or two (if lucky)  junior drills with him.

I guess in the mess hall multiple platoons would be eating with multiple drill sgts maybe.

I understand that. It was just complete bullshit the 1st time I was sent home. One week before basic graduation, because one of 12 or so drill sergeants didn't like that one time I wasn't able to finish my food in time.

It makes me pretty bitter about the whole deal.

If Im not mistaking-which I may be- you have 10 years to contest a discharge classification.

You were not discharged due to your eating speed. One of twelve drill sergeants noticed you having an issue. You were probably sent to medical for it, where your hernia was diagnosed.


You were discharged due to a physical defect the army deemed not compatible with military service.

Id go with this. First, its an uphill battle. Secondly, it may be time to look at another career. You served your country and be proud of it. No one can take that away from you. More than I can say for some punk ass kids these days.

Instead of getting wrong info on AR.15 go speak to an active duty recruiter. Or if your dumb enough to believe anything on here maybe you shouldn't join.

Here's the truth. Unless you are an Olympic athlete, at 31, you are way too old to do high speed stuff. Even medium speed stuff like infantry should be out. Your body won't recover from the day to day beating it will take.
As for needing a waiver, go talk to a recruiter. The Army is trying to expand right now so maybe you can get one. You will never know until you talk to one.

Go pull up the medical manuals off google and see what the medical standards are.  May still be disqualified even after surgical repair.

For example, Navy standards don't specifically mention HH, but you're probably ok.

I've never dealt with reserves, but it was my impression that there are no combat MOS types there.

May have to go guard if you wanna be quasi-hooah

I'm still waiting for the Army to start civilian direct commissions for the USAR as 38G Civil Affairs officers. I realise that these officers have no command authority, but I don't really care about giving orders. However, the idea of using my graduate education and civilian expertise to solve problems overseas sounds amazing!

guard = combat jobs

^+1. I entered basic as an 18yr old in 1981. There was a 32yr old dude in my platoon who I thought was actually gonna fvckin' die everytime we did PT (especially rifle PT). Real nice guy (old Southern brother). He graduated with us and all but man, looking back, I felt sorry for that guy.

Cryptolinguist, sigint, or anything intel related. There are civilian job opportunities later in life with those. I have 11B, 19D, and 35F.

Granted I'm only 24, but I joined my local guard unit as 68W to be attached to infantry guys, but come out with education and training towards a career in medicine.

Talk to the Navy or Coast Guard reserves maybe, both have an OS rating that is usually short of people for example, they will refer to it as a "Critical" rating usually.

My point is, if you volunteer to go to a critical rating/MOS it may possibly help to get any required waivers because the service has a need.
