<p>It's a long story, but it was an ongoing battle with the medical people. I was accepted, conditional on the medical results from DODMERB. I even had my actual appointment certificate for the class of '05 (still do... right next to my '06 one at home, haha). I was disqualified, I applied for a waiver, it was denied, it was rebutted, and then I got final word that I wouldn't be in the class of 05 so close to when I would have inprocessed. What happened the second time with it? They easily gave me a waiver. It's funny how things work sometimes. ;) As I mentioned before, at the time, it seemed like a HUGE setback; however, I really wanted to be here so I reapplied and got in. Looking back, I wouldn't change it, as I enjoyed my extra year in California and I love the class I'm in now. I can't imagine things being any different.</p>
