But meps seen my 1000000 pg med record and denied. I am confused. I have had no complications since in fact health is 100% better. BP is down, no more edema etc, etc. I have AAS in business, EMT-B in medic school. So badly want to be part of this great thing and can not. Why this is my choice, just like when the other soldiers join they want to go to war. I hate how civilians ignorant as they are. Get mad for the troops getting deployed. They know this going in, **** get over it. My brother is in the guards, out of MUNCIE, IN. infantry. One uncle is 101st and the other is 82nd, Special Forces maybe other way around. It is in my family. Any help would be great. Home number is 7652871883. Last name McMillion, Maggie
brother McMillion, Zachary
Blood uncle McMIllion, Lawrence
uncle Conatser, Bradley
Very proud to be part of such an American made family.

No do not expect you to even care just thought you may at least be curious about my brothers near future deploy and give me heads up on what to expect, if needed.
Thanks Maggie McMillion 1857487
Maggie-
As you probably found out, missing a kidney is a permanent disqualifier from joining the National Guard. It sounds like you come from a long line of soldiers and will always be a soldier at heart. Thank your for your support and good luck with your career.
