TSgt,
I understand the pain. I was getting a PHA (I’m Army National Guard) the weekend after Hassan’s terrorist rampage at Ft. Hood and was in a (somewhat loud) conversation with one of my buddies about how Muslims get a pass on everything in the army, when a full bird col. opened his door to give me my PHA. He was a Paki. He wrote on my PHA that I had scoliosis and couldn’t walk, handed it to me and told me to get out of his office. It took me three months to fix it and I got it fixed because my readiness NCO informed my CoC that if I had magically developed scoliosis in the Army it had to have been duty related and I was entitled to a full retirement. I got a new PHA and my PULHES score after two more PHAs and another complete physical is and has been 111111.
First, your nephew should go see a *civilian* doctor to find out what is really going on with his body. Was he the only one who reacted, or did he get some bad $hi+? I find it very suspicious that a kid who has probably received plenty of inoculations before the Marines and has never reacted now, all of a sudden, developed a reaction. Go to a doctor and document, document document. Take those documents to a recruiter and/or MEPS doctor to get the records corrected.
If he *really* has a problem (i.e., one not manufactured by the Marines to cover up the fact they screwed something up that caused the reaction, which is always my first suspicion), then . . .
He could try the Army, but, frankly, we are cutting back and booting perfectly healthy soldiers with multiple deployments under their belts. Ten years ago there may have been a way.
These days we’re under a Demorat who, with the help of many RINOs, is raping the military and forcing out normal Americans to be replaced by left-wing ideologues.
Your nephew can and should find a way to serve. One way could be border patrol or another law enforcement type position. Another way is through a State Guard, if your state has one.
In a few years we will find ourselves in another war and in a panic to rebuild our decimated military. That’s not me looking into a crystal ball or make a WAG, it’s a historical inevitability. Once that happens, I would strongly suggest going through an Army or Navy recruiter, as the Air Force and Marines have always been more restrictive.
Thanks for your reply.
After lots of heartache and research my sister found a support group for military veterans who had autoimmune reactions to vaccinations.
It’s not common but autoimmune reactions do happen and the DOD/VA does a piss poor job of taking care of veterans after they are maimed.
I’m a strong believer in vaccinations, like I said my shot record is a mile long, however there are cases when the body has serious reactions to them.
