Could I still try Army enlistment if I was disqualified by the Air Force?
I tried to enlist in the Air Force, got past MEPS, but had to get a waiver for my chest. I have pectus Excavatum. After a few months, I got a letter from the them stating that I would have to get surgery and have proof from a medical professional that I have improved, and then I could try enlisting with them again. Does that mean I'm off of enlistment for all branches? Or is it still possible for the army?
I scored a 59 on the ASVAB, and am still somewhat fit. Granted I'm 21, Male, 127, lbs 5'9" -10"+, below 6ft. I work in manual labor and work out, not as much as I should, but still a bit. Last time I ran was a few months ago with about 2 miles in 30-40 mins. Not impressive, but i dont run a lot. In my job we do epoxy floors. So we rip up the floor, mix material and put it out. Depending on the material the pales can weigh 50lbs at least, while having to walk it out quite a distance. Or, carry 60lbs+ bags if powder or sand lifting to chest and up, or pouring into a pale. As well as a bunch of other stuff you'd see in the more physical manual labor jobs.
I was trying to go in for either a flight mechanic, or other form of mechanic, no experience, but I like to take things apart and pit em together or just use my hands, or MP. However, I didn't actually get to the job selection part. Again, the main question is if I'm unable to enlist in any branch at all, or if I do still have a chance with the army. The Internet isn't exactly entirely clear or helpful.
