Instructions from the Expert:

I can answer questions about the military services in general, as well as uniform and awards questions.  If you haven't talked to a recruiter to ask your question, believe me, I'll know and my answer will likely be 'TALK TO A RECRUITER!!'.  The recruiters get constant updates, sometimes daily, as to the changing enlistment requirements and waivers allowed.   While I do have access to many of the current rules and regulations, waiver abilities sometimes change.
