ANY action you do, may or may not result in Unintended Consequences.
We're not putting you down for what you did,. you asked questions. Marines answered questions.
Crap happens in life.
None of My Marine friends in here that i know of work at MEPS. It was a Military Doctor most likely that disqualified you from current standards they're picking with for guidelines.
Your tribal tat at least didnt cause the end of your life grasshopper. It's mearly causing you a longer journey if you intend on reaching your desired destination.
Try perhaps a different recruiting zone/district that uses a new set of doctors.
Believe it or not, we Marines do actually respect SOME parts of Military Service other than the U.S. Marine Corps. First that comes to my mind is the US Navy FMF Corpsmen. I'll spend my last dollar buying a "Doc" a beer, and say thanks for Making House Calls.
With the economy as bad as it is, and the Marinecorps reducing in manpower. More people are trying to stay in or get in. The End result as you are finding now is just that the Standards have been raised.
Your options are only limited by your immagination and your budget...Got the Jingwha for a plastic surgeon?? can it be modified and termed Unintentional scar tissue from an accident??
Tattoo needle and no ink gave you your "tribe tat" you were after when you got it.
good luck grasshopper...

i don't understand how that's related, and say what you will i already have a plan in motion too remedy this situation. Whether or not it will work is another story, but at least i'm not just laying down and taking it like you're suggesting.
If you have nothing constructive to say i'll just stop reading your posts

Gunny..with all due respect..
And..as a Marine..this young man may have what it takes.
Didn't Chesty Puller once say "take me to the brig..i want to
see the real Marines"
IF..he can finish boot..he may be able to kick some ass.
Not all good Marines were recruited based on their resume.

The Army is awaiting you. If you are as smart as you claim to be you will not tell them the Marine Corps refused to have you in their ranks.

the job i had in mind was 0231 Intel specialist and get 0211 Counterintelligence and HUMINT within a few years
the other job i was recommended was Cryptic linguist or something like that, i have less knowledge of that job but it was recommended and i plan on reading up on it.
the reason i want intel is because i have a job waiting for me at home if i did. I chose the Corps. because it was the most challenging and offered the most for me. I chose military because i, again, thought it would benefit me better as a person.
