Military Bans COVID Survivors From Service

I don't know what they qualifications are now but back in the day (damn that sounds old), asthma would DQ you. Flat feet. An assortment of injuries; especially, to joints that required surgery. HIV would do it. Being married

The US government doesn't want to pay to fix you with no guarantee you'll be worth the fix. Especially given the benefits associated with service-related injuries. If they accept you, it is automatically a service related injury unless they can prove fraudulent enlistment.

This would be taking a chance at the unknown or possible residual effects.

A heart murmur-even one that wasn't a problem, kept plenty of kids out of Nam. Not sure what else.

I joined the navy at 17 in 1964 just as Johnson was beginning to escalate our ADVISORS(yeah). I had a mild heart murmur but didn't stop me until 2006 when I had my first heart attack. Flat Feet, and Conscientious Objectors who went to Canada, then came back stopped a lot of young men back then. Ear problems, vision problems and the tricks of Increasing their BODY TEMP with all sorts of stuff placed in their armpits got a lot of them caught too!
