I literally dont get why they wont accept me?
Asked and answeredthe marines wont have me as ive got a metal plate in my wrist
Are you sure that it's the metal plate that's holding you back? Have you had a medical?My issue is the marines wont have me as ive got a metal plate in my wrist, due to the absolute nonsense fact that jumping in and out of cold water could shatter my metal plate. 1, titanium doesnt shatter at those temperatures, 2, ive been signed off by the doctor that im fully fit and that my wrist is actually stronger then before with all 100% movement back with no pain, so I literally dont get why they wont accept me?
I applied to join the marines last year , and got a date to start training, completed selection and passed and then had a motorbike crash a few weeks after which broke my wrist and therefore the metal playe got put in and when i went back to the AFCO they said the marines wont accept you anymore but the navy will, and at that point the Army CA said the paras will still have you, but i could never join them as my dad was one and to which we argue about whose better, so thats why im joining the navyAre you sure that it's the metal plate that's holding you back? Have you had a medical?
Did you not just have to wait 12 months?I applied to join the marines last year , and got a date to start training, completed selection and passed and then had a motorbike crash a few weeks after which broke my wrist and therefore the metal playe got put in and when i went back to the AFCO they said the marines wont accept you anymore but the navy will, and at that point the Army CA said the paras will still have you, but i could never join them as my dad was one and to which we argue about whose better, so thats why im joining the navy
Its been over 12 months now well i started a new application a few months ago so that when 12 months after the fracture was up i could literally get straight into selection and training, but the navy CA said to me “the marines wont take you with a plate in, to join u would have to take it out, or you can join the navy” but then again they did say that someone with my academic ability should really join as an officer but i just want to be a rating to be honest and everyone I use to speak to about joining the marines would say im to clever to join the marines but thats not how i see it, its something ive always wanted to do.Did you not just have to wait 12 months?
From the medical standards:"Fractures within the last 12 months, except fractures of the digits / clavicles".
There's only 2 things you can doIts been over 12 months now well i started a new application a few months ago so that when 12 months after the fracture was up i could literally get straight into selection and training, but the navy CA said to me “the marines wont take you with a plate in, to join u would have to take it out, or you can join the navy” but then again they did say that someone with my academic ability should really join as an officer but i just want to be a rating to be honest and everyone I use to speak to about joining the marines would say im to clever to join the marines but thats not how i see it, its something ive always wanted to do.
