Heart Flutters

Open Question: You think the recruiter will be pissed at me coming back?

November 9th, 2009 | by admin | Open Question: You think the recruiter will be pissed at me coming back?
I went to the Marine recruiter a year and a half ago. I have always wanted to be a Marine. I lost sixty pounds on my own during college and got into great shape. I graduated from college after getting a degree in business. I went to my local Marine recruiting station. I went to MEPs and got a 97 on my ASVAB. The next day the recruiter wanted me to go to medical section of MEPs and wanted me to swear in that day.
That’s when the weirdness started. They wanted me to swear in open contract, I have a heart murmur and that is quite noticeable. They wanted me to not mention it. A heart murmur can be an automatic DQ at MEPs. The morning he came to pick me up for MEPs I told him no thanks took my paperwork back and he left. They didn’t tell me about my career options or the fact that I could become an officer.
He called me the next day and I got the voice message from him. I called him back go this voice mail and said thanks in the message but I am not at this time ready to enlist. He called me once or twice after and I didn’t respond.
I realized how much I wanted to be a Marine. I went out and got a full medical work up including tons of tests from my cardiologist. I am waiting for my cardiologist to write a letter saying my heart is fine for basic. I also lost another ten pound and kept running a lot this winter. I want to go back an enlist. We he be pissed I came back.

Open Question: Was I being rude to these charity workers?
There is this charity group in the mall who often has a stall there. When I walk past, they are pushy, wanting to ask me questions. If I ignore them, they wave in my face and go out of their way to get my attention. I just ignore them and keep walking. When I do stop, they want money from me and want to tell me about heart disease. I have no money to give them and little time. They go right where all the traffic of people are and try to stop everybody. Am I rude to ignore them?
