Still trying. Figured the worst they can do is say no and the best thing they could do is change my life. Gonna give it a while and then hit up a recruiter again. Talked to a recruiter at the all ranks club a couple months ago and he was all amped up until i showed him my scar and told him the story and his response was "sorry bro you're effed keep doing what you're doing with the IGR and be the best you can be there"
It's always "dependant upon the needs of the (branch of service)".
Critical rates/MOS/abilities during upticks in combat, they are more likely to bend/modify rules.
