Ahh, the military. First of all, congratulations to Bandit and thank you for your upcoming service to our country.
I attempted to join when I was 23 years old. I spent six months getting into the best physical shape of my life (6'1" 265 with 11% body fat) and was then told that the Army wouldn't take me unless I could lose another 35 to 40 lbs. I took the ASFAB test and scored 98 overall and my lowest line score was 114. I was qualified to do anything I wanted to do.
When I was told I wouldn't be accepted, I made a deal with my boss to allow me to sell cars, go back to college and make an attempt to play football again at the JC level. All that did was cause me to have almost constant issues with my surgically repaired ankle so I took a step back and rededicated myself to bowling again. The rest, as they say, is history and I wouldn't change any of it at this point in my life.
