Re: Hopefully I can inspire you.

Hi Garrett....I read your post, and wanted to share with you that I served 12 years in the US Navy, achieving the rank of YN1(SW)(surface warfare specialist), and also served in Operation Desert Storm.....I joined the Navy when I was 20, and had the same types of difficulties with the physical rigors of the military.....my problem was....I didn't know I had MC....had it been diagnosed, I'm sure I would have been discharged. I didn't find out I had MC until I was 50 years old, and was able to see a neurologist at the VA, who diagnosed me....it was quite a relief, knowing that there was something with a name to go along with my symptoms, and that I wasn't just "clumsy"....anyway, wanted to share that, and thank you for signing up to serve our country....and as a Firefighter, you are doing just that!....from a proud Veteran, Thank You!
