I Wanna be a marine but dont know if i can?

[Epic]

Well im a 20 years old 6'2 230 pounds i sighed up to a gym to get fit since im trying to get to the 150 mark for my size since i dont wanna go to the marines unfit.

So here is ware my problems start 1st people tell me i have bipolar and i been reading that mental problems is a no go in the marines with out a waiver but here is the thing i dont think i have biplolar and people i have talked to have said i dont have biplolar. I just react the the bs people do to me like haveing some one try to hit me in highschool people expected me to be the bigger man and let said person hit me but i chose to deffend my self.
Im a calm guy i dont find trouble people bring trouble to me and i deal with it as it comes in a calm matter but sometimes it just gets stressfull and i will react with a attitude but who doesn't im a human.

I been in DCFS since i was 7 and didnt get back with my parents till i was 17 since my return i was looking for a job since my my mom didnt make alot of money and i didn't feel like asking her for money so i looked for a job but had no luck since i got denied since i had no experience.

So DCFS told my mom that since i have history of bipolar i can
sigh up for ssi "Social security income" so i can receive some income
for my biplolar i know weird getting paid for biplolar.

Well i have been getting ssi for 2 years now i been trying to find a job here and there because i felt like a free loader but got denied for haveing no experience.

well i know im mentally fit and would not be a risk to me or the people i will work with but thats not whats on my records and dont want to come to the recruiter and tell him one thing and later find out another.

I wanna serve my country and make something out my self but since my history and my records will say other wise i think i will get denied.

I will tell my recruiter the same as i type because i dont wanna be dishonorably discharged for gieving false info so i will come with the truth and hope the marines give me a chance to prove my self.

I just want some info on this matter.

If you were told by a doctor that your bipolar then you will have to tell the recruiter about it. if people are just saying you have bipolar and they are not in the medical field or have a M.D. then what do they know! It has to be in writing from a doctor stating that you are. If thats the case then you have a very slim chance depending what the docs at MEPS say, if you get that far!

I have been told by doctors that i have biplolar but by old data thats more then 10 years old.

#1 Fill out your profile, it's a requirement here.

#2 Your condition has been documented, you're receiving SSI for it.

#3 Sorry kid, but it looks like you're out.

Well, if that data is 10 years old, how the heck did you get SSI? You just don't sign up for it and get it years later? There's a process to go through, and you can be denied a couple of times. Eventualy, you will need to get a lawyer to help with the process.

Son, bootcamp will be an issue... it's all about stress.

There are many ways to serve your country, and the military is only one of them.

Iam Sorry Son But I Was A Corpman And Unfortunately If You Got Ssi For Being Bi Polar Unfortunately Your Chances Are Slim To None> Good Luck In Your Endevers.

How does one get tested for biploar since when i got ssi they told me to go to a psychiatrist for him to evaluate me and all he did is ask me questions and look at old paper work?Cant the marine doc check me to see if im saine?

No one is saying you are not sane, your diagnosis simply means you might go off when things get tough. There are so many young men attempting to get in today that have no issues, you just do not have a chance.

Why is so many of you uptight with my profile jesus.

but it still wont stop me from trying to get in.I will get my body in tip top shape and try to prove to the recruiter that im worthy of being a marine.
I know i can handle my moods since last time i got mad and it wasnt rage just mad was like 5 years ago i stay out of trouble and i can handle drama i understand why marines yell its mental also you cant wisper in combat.

But thats all i came here for i wanted true responses from real marines and not yahoo answers ware people barely know.

Smart mouth for a wannabe. Remember, you're on a Marine Corps site and you're just a guest here.

Listen up, IF, and I mean IF the Marine Corps does grant you a waiver sometime in the future for your bi-polar, you better be able to take any type of criticism from anyone.
If you can't handle what's being told to you on the internet, then you won't be able to handle what will come at you in the Marine Corps.

You got a proble with the site rules, then I suggest you PM the site owner, Shaffer, and complain to him. He put them there for a reason. His site, his rules.....you should follow them.

Oh, and the info and link I provided for you DID NOT come from yahoo.

You're questions have been asked and answered, you don't like what you see here, the go talk with a recruiter face to face.

[advanced]

Sounds like he's the yahoo. He won't take our info and he won't abide by the site rules, that means ......

If he, or anyone else, can't follow some simple site rules, then they won't be able to follow any rules in the Marine Corps.

First of all what did i say that made you think i have a smart mouth?
2nd i never said your info came from yahoo.
also if you read and didnt try to go hardcore on me you would have read that i said i came here for info because i didnt wanna lisen to the people on yahoo since they give bad info i never said your infos are bad i just inplied that i wont let your downing info stop me from trying to get in thats all i can take cristism this in no way has upset me but seems like you all get on the rage wagon fast.

also with your last comment "if i dont like what i see here then go talk with a recruiter face to face"If you read i came here for info and i said i was going to talk to a recruiter even if you all gave me info.

some of you marines try hard to insult and fail hard same time!

And what makes me a wannabe?

Me saying im still going to try even if my odds are against me?

This is my last post since most of you are trying to bring me down and i wont let that happen i will go talk to a recruiter and try to get in if i dont i still got boxing i wanted to go in.


also i did follow the rules i just didnt have time or knew i had to alll i said was you all were getting on my case on it since i made this account yesterday.
