Do you volunteer, or do you just sit around saying "Woe is me"? So you couldn't make it into any of the services, you could have served your community.
When I wasn't on duty I was volunteering with Ledyard Fire Company. Most of them weren't military but they all were serving their communities. Some of them had medical conditions that prevented them from going into the service but they still served, with honor, their communities. I have walked into burning buildings for no pay. I have been covered in blood from the waist down caring for someone who fell asleep at the wheel and folded himself in half, for free.
so don't tell me that because you have diabetes you can't do anything.
One last thing, don't say you "even tried the Coast Guard" like they are some pushover organization. They don't have nearly the resources the other services do and they still get the job done and sometimes under worse conditions. There is always a way to give back to the community and whining about having diabetes isn't one of them!!! >:(

Yes I do volunteer. I've been volunteering at Hungeford park in berlin since i was 13. I have done the relay for life walk for the last 7 years. I donate blood every time i get a chance. I haven't had a steady address for the last few years, but now that i've bought a house i am trying to get into my local town fire dept to volunteer.
I thank you for your service that you have provided for our country and for your community. I mean no disrespect.
I no where in my post was complaining that i have diabetes and can't do anything. i was answering a question about why i didn't enlist.
my comment about the coast guard was not "a push over organization" it simply meant that it is on the home front. i have not been able to get into the service because if i'm ever deployed and rations are late, and i cannot get insulin, simply stated i'm *ucked. i tried to get into the coast guard due to the reason that i would not be over seas and hopefully i would be able to get what is needed for me to live.
to the rest who serve our country. thank you for your service. my pre-concieved notions of military life are and were unfounded. i can only judge the service by what is presented to me by mass media. i now have a profound respect for what you have been through.
