So I was recently told that I cannot join the USA's Armed forces because I cut my the nerve and tendon in my left index and the nerve in my left middle finger. Although I have regained almost all feeling and movement, they said is still to big of a risk if I were to be in combat and needed to switch from my right to left hand (I shoot right handed, but you never know when you might get pinned in a position where swapping positions is smart). When I have trained and had to swap firing arms, my I still need to use my middle finger. My index isnt strong enough to fire rapidly.
I also have previous mental disorders, medications, and hospitalizations that stack up as an overwhelming sign that I am ineligible. All of these things have since been fully resolved and were some years ago. However, the men down at the recruiting office felt it wasn't a good idea.
Serving has been my dream for as long as I can remember. I refuse to give up. I want to be on the front lines, even if I die while I'm still in my 20's. I know what I'm committing to. Is there hope for me as being a PMC?
What non-military training do I need?
I was an Eagle Scout and was a Senior Patrol Leader and am a current Instructor for the young guys, so I'm fresh on my first aid, navigation, survival skills, knots etc.
Basically what I'm asking is, can I still fight for my God, my country, and my freedom although I've been disqualified from the US Armed Forces?
