Hello,
Once again, my name is Dan and I have a question for those of you who might be able to tell me what is going on. I recently went to my nearest recruiting office and told them I wanted to be a Marine. They signed me up and had me sign a few documents and all that. Then I was taken to MEPS where I scored a 61 on my ASVAB and took my physical. Although I was not able to sign my contract that day like most others because I had a medical problem. Like an idiot I put down on my form that I had taken Aderal(medication for ADD) in the past. The thing is though, I do not have ADD, and was never diagnosed with it. I only took it because I was doing poorly in school, and my doctor thought it would help me out. Anyway, they told me I needed to get a doctors note, stating I did not have ADD before they could go any further with my enlistment. So I went to see my doctor. He ran a few test, and once again, determined I did not have ADD or ADHD. I had the note faxed right to my recruiter,who told me it was good and we would be all set. But now I am worried. He told me he would be taking me up to MEPS fri, sat or mon(today) for sure. However he never called me any of these days and still hasn't. I have been calling him every single day now trying to figure out what is going on and he will not answer my phone calls. This is not the first time I havn't been able to get a in touch with him for days at a time either. I do understand he is a busy guy, but it just seems strange how little effort he has put into returning my phone calls and/or keeping me motivated and updated on the situation. Should I be worried that something is wrong? All I want is to become a Marine and I want to leave for Boot Camp ASAP. Every single day I don't get up to MEPS to sign these papers and get a ship date, seems like such a waste. Most recruits tell me that their recruiters hound them 24/7. Mine won't even pick up the phone more than once a week for me. Please don't attack me for this, lol. I am just worried and paranoid of not being allowed into the Marines. It would break my heart. Thank You
