there's probably other reasons...but those are off of the top of my head
add hearing loss. apparently 5% nerve deafness is too much.

There are a lot of physical/health reasons. One of my friends was not accepted into the Navy because he donated a kidney. Another was because his sense of smell is not terribly good from some previous surgery.

if you read the Uniform Military Code of Justice, you can't even have butt sex.

925. ART. 125. SODOMY
(a) Any person subject to this chapter who engages in unnatural carnal copulation with another person of the same or opposite sex or with an animal is guilty of sodomy. Penetration , however slight, is sufficient to complete the offense.
(b) Any person found guilty of sodomy shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.

FYI for all you standing here saying they wont take you cuz your a college student. Thats not true. nowhere in the Selective service website will it say that college students are deferred from being drawn in a lottery. in fact, the only students that are mentioned when it comes to elegibility classifications are those that are in military training.

so dont think just because your in college your safe, cuz as far as i know your most def not

edit: ok for you college kids this is straight from uncle sam:

Under the current draft law, a college student can have his induction postponed only until the end of the current semester. A senior can be postponed until the end of the academic year.

you're a fuckin idiot.

you didnt even know about the selective service.

you ask if everyone is signed up.. which ya pretty much have to be.

and now you think you wont be drafted because you're in college?

they'll just grab you right after your semester ends.

learn some shit dude.

edit: what rebeld said.
