Hi my name is Benjamin. I have some question about the army, at this time I am waiting on a weaver to be filled out, I’m not sure if it will though. i have been trying to get in for more then 1.6years.
to start off I don’t know what the "disorder" is called but my recruiter is saying it’s for "not understanding information" or something like that, I’m not sure how they came up with that and my recruiter says the same thing. So here is my story on what’s going on from day one to now, please forgive me for my grammar.
March 2011 6th day, I enlisted to join the army in a trade school "job corps" I was told I can enter the army with a GED if I did job corps and passed, so I did that for about 1 year and 1months and completed my trade. I in that time I passed the ASQT with 35 as my score, and above 100 on every other score like GT and so on, 6 months after I enlisted to join I completed the job corps trade school and was told I will be entering in as a E2, I went back home to "Washington" from Texas and the recruiters gave up on me so I switched to my local towns recruiters station, that its self-took 3months to do as the recruiter would not transfer anything over, (let me add in I have had a 81 paper medical history from 1 car wreck I had to get again..) so after the 3months it took to get the files my local recruiter said he was trying his best to get me in to do my psychological test, so I waited 3 more months for him to get me in, it never happed and he left for active duty, destroying my files before he left, so I got transferred to 2 hour away recruiters office, they worked to get my files all done and we found out my first recruiter did not transfer me from the old MEPS to the new Meps in my state. That took 1-2months to do. So about 1 month after that I had to get tested for ADHD and passed as not having it, I then went to get my psychological test done, we didn’t have enough time to do the questions so I only did 400 out of the 570 that were there for me, the psychologicalist said she only "Cared" about the first 400 questions, next I had to do a reading test and said I had a problem with reading,
"All the words they gave me I never seen before in my life and were hard for me to read, there was 40 words the first 10 I did perfect then next 10 I could not read 2 of them, I was then told to stop and that’s all that was needed"
I went back to MEPS after that and got sent home tell they get the physcalogcal test back in, after it came back in they said I had a "slight reading disorder" and a disorder of not understanding things to well, my recruiter told me I won’t get in cuss they turn them down all the time he said, I feel as if he don’t care about me, he never calls me to update me when there is information I half to do it myself every time. I call him once a week; he said they could do a wavier on it and its pending at this time.
The reading disorder I know I have and they know I have from my AFQT test. but the other disorder we are confused about, Now they never said I had the "not understanding things" disorder to say, they just said I "might" have it,
So my question is if they do by chance say no to my wavier what is the next step to do for joining the army? who do I call next or what should I do next, my family says I should do collage and get some degrees in something they want then reenlist, other people tell me I should call my congress and governor for help. But I’m not 100% sure so I though I would see what everyone here think.
If you don’t understand what I have said in the above wall of text please shoot me a Msg and we can talk on "Skype" or phone for a better understanding on what’s going on.
