Interesting thing:
I applied for the Army Reserve Medical Corps, and was turned down flat. No explanation given. I'm starting FP residency in July, and I passed my MEPS physical with no problems.
Incidentally, the recruiter really managed to gain my trust. I'd finally decided to quit listening to people saying that recruiters can't be trusted. We rapped occasionally on the phone together, and I really believed I was more than just a number to her. Then when I was told I was a "non-select", I haven't heard one single thnhg from her again. It's been 3 weeks. I'd have expected at least a call of explanation...we'd been working together on this for almost 6 months.
I still can't figure out why I was denied. I'm in FP, which is supposed to be a critical shortage specialty. Two thoughts I have is that I have 4 kids, so maybe they don't want to deploy someone with that many dependents. I also graduated from a med school in Israel, so maybe they consider me a security threat.
Whatever. I tried to do my part.
