[Vision2020] Uninsured adults 25 percent more likely to die

[Donovan Arnold]

Hansen,
   
  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. 
   
  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. 
   
  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. 
   
  Best Regards,
   
  Donovan

There is so much about your claims below that is inaccurate (to put it 
kindly) that I am going to simply leave it up to you.

If you want to enlist, you will contact the recruiter in Pullman or 
Sergeant Burdick (I chatted with this real person) in Boise. You can chat 
with Sergeant Burdick from:

If you don't want to enlist, you won't.

In either case . . . 

Enough said.

There are some commissioned positions I do qualify for. But, for me to be 
commissioned, I
must have had prior service before age 34. By the time I got through basic 
training and
Officer Training, I will have reached my 34th year. Sgt. Oswalt is not as 
much of an idiot
as you make him out to be.
