The Dreadful Wait

  Well, now I'm play this awesome waiting game.  DoDMERB is currently in the process of medically clearing me.  The issue, I may have atopic dermatitis, or eczema, or a severe case of dry skin, or something else.  No one really knows, not even the specialists I saw the the U hospital two months ago.  She didn't specify whether it was one or the other and the Air Force decided I wasn't medically cleared to be in the Air Force.  So, now I'm fighting the whole thing so I can be in the Air Force.  

  I have now been waiting for nearly a month and still nothing.  I am supposed to leave in less than three weeks.  Worse case scenario, I wait till the 22nd of this month and than someone from the detachment sends a medical waiver request to the Surgeon Generals Officer of the Air Force.  From there I have about an 80% chance of getting in.

  I'm not a fan of this waiting game however it is a game I must play.  In the mean time I'm working out 5-6 days week, running about 10-13 miles a week and doing who knows how many push-ups and sit-ups a day to maintain good health.  It is hard on me and hard on my wife.  It is just hard not knowing.  

  In the mean time.  I do get to workout, spend time with my wife, work, and start working on the coming year for Arnold Air Society.  Should be a fun next couple of weeks.
