My Granddad was Calvary ROTC at UGA. Turned out he had flat feet and the military would not take him for WWII. He was heartbroken. He tried a lot of ways to get in, but once the paperwork was done, he could not and so he served as a civilian doing desk work.

Audie Murphy was turned down by every branch of the military before he finally got in the army at age 17.
