Redeployment: I

For the last few months I have been preparing to join the United States Military. In preparation I did everything you would expect someone who was going into the military to do. I stepped up my exercise schedule began cleaning up my diet, and sadly cutting down my starcraft play time.

Two days ago I woke up and began my morning schedule. Upon checking my voice mail I received this message "Hello this is TSgt ****** because of your Aspergers Syndrome you have been permanently barred from joining the military" truthfully I stopped listening after that point I think I was told where to go if I had questions.

As you may guess this conflicts with many of the designs I had for my immediate future. Obviously I am going back to school, it's the best play I have at this moment. So right there you have 85% of my plan. Kinda a bare bones of a plan isn't it?

Well in the last two days I have logged a considerable amount of ladder games as I've begun to wrestle out the logistics of going back to school.

I won't lie it was a bad day when i got that message, it hit me hard. My oldest brother was a Marine, My father was Navy like his father before him and my Uncle was Air Force. It makes me sad to know that I will never have the "option" to follow them.

The weirdest thing though. Somehow I feel more motivated by knowing where exactly I am going. I feel really motivated to try and get better, to improve and to push my rank (currently 803 point plat league). I've heard it called #passionrestored many times i don't know that my passion ever went away. I'll just call this my Redeployment.

I can understand you not concentrating on the voice mail after hearing those words. However, why did you not go back and listen again more carefully? If there is the possibility to get more information you might want to do that.

Nothing against additional schooling, but I feel like you should at least have the correct information to go off of.

It goes without saying. Yes I had to go back and listen to it, and there was nothing more meaningful to the message. I was told who to contact if I had questions and the voice mail ended. I did actually send an email kindly asking them to reconsider their decision :/. Still no replay.

That sucks. This kind of thing made me wary of pursuing a diagnosis of asperger syndrome. Must be difficult knowing that something you were looking forward to is just taken away. If you're interested in working for military might not the intelligence service be an alternative? I'm sure they're more open to people on the autistic spectrum. Or if its the physical side of things maybe the poluce or fire service?

It has always been my intention to pursue a career in Law Enforcement that has not changed. I doubt if I had told them in the paper work if they ever would have known for most it isn't very obvious that I have Aspergers Syndrome.

Don't they look at your medical history?

It has very little to do with school the only place where it was in writing was on my IEP from school. Which is a document strictly controled by me, I just wonder seeing my IEP is the only way a person would be able to "confirm" it.
