Military Disqualifications

Episode Summary

This week is week two of A Girl's Guide to Military Service series and we are focusing in on things that can disqualify you from military service. Most often when people think of military disqualifications they think of medical disqualifications but that is only one aspect of why people are not eligible to serve in the military. Besides covering the most common military disqualifications I also talk to Tess Robinson about her experience in ROTC and how her military career ended before it began with a medical disqualification.
