I'm Healthy, Swear

Two weeks post interview, I received my medical packet. On a first peruse, it doesn’t seem so daunting especially if you have a doctor a dentist and health insurance.  I had just had some dental work done and already had an appointment scheduled. I did have to find a podiatrist because I noted on the physical questionnaire that I had worn orthotics for “flat feet” I really debated on whether or not to put it on the survey, but I went ahead and did it because I have constant trouble with my feet (on the other hand I had no intention of purchasing orthotics). So I went to the foot doctor, was there for about two hours paid $40 co-pay and left with a letter saying – this visit was a total fucking waste of time but thanks for droppin 40 bucks. Just kidding, but you get my point.  But anyhow, after reviewing going over combing over re rereading, I submitted it. It took about a full 7 days for it to be noted on my toolkit that it was received but when it was, it also said I had been dentally approved. Sweet.  I was eagerly anticipating my medical approval when I received an update that I had a hold. Turns out my Donald Trump combover was not so great. I received a letter in the mail that on the TB test which was negative, the nurse only checked the negative box and did not note the size of the non-existent welt(or whatever it is called). So I got that taken care of, sent it back, and was soon medically approved.
