One small step...

Yep, First time was for asvab. Second was for medical and at the end of the day they perm DQ me unless I could get a waiver for high blood pressure. It was like 185/100 which is like what the f--k high. Now I am 5'11 and 205lbs so it shouldn't be that high. They were waiting 15 minutes each time they checked it and it wouldn't go down. I went to a regular doctor and it went down to 130/80 and now its like 120/75 or something. I don't know what happened, my recruiter brought up white coat syndrome but I think it just was cause the Marines Corps is the only thing I want to do in life. If I don't get this I really don't know what I am going to do. So I just got scared of being DQ. Went back the 3rd time with the waiver and got accepted.
Sorry for the paragraph

Yeah DGradner, they are all automatic. I mean you don't even have to be a doctor to use them or understand them. Its like they gave someone a white coat and was like ok here, turn it on and push this button and if its under 140/70 or whatever they're good. Those are bound for errors.
