Why do the RAF bar people with past history of club foot from any military service?

Not sure but is it possible that there could be medical complications arising at some point later in time due to excessive marching or anything?  Sounds really ignorant on my part but can your bones break easily or anything?  Medical is the only thing I can think of....Military anywhere is not big on spending money for something that was done/happened prior to enlistment if something were to happen medically.

I used to have an account with them years ago it was a nightmare. Everyones account was always screwed up. The Marine Corps used to use them for all Parris Island recruits accounts.

The bnp are mainly white,but not all white.however over the last few years they have tried to gather followers by wearing suits\nand ties and toning down the hate they preach.the fear of terrorism has also helped the cause.But the underlying flaws\nare still plain to see.If you are not a true englishman they want\nyou out.THIS IS TO ME REDICULOUS I have english born\nasian friends in this country and this bnp attitude sickens me.\nthe soldiers who died for our country during ww2 fought against\nthe worst kind of racism(genocide by Hitler).And all I hear from\npro bnp supporters is how sickened our soldiers in ww2 would\nbe to see our country now.don't hide behind immigration,the bnp\nshow the worst of my great Britain.and this country will be even\ngreater without racist scum like the bnp.up the ANL

The military uses a "flagging" system to denote a deficiency serious enough as to merit a suspension of favorable personnel action. Uniformed service members can be flagged for a variety of reasons including height/weight violations and physical fitness test failure. While it does not bar all personnel actions, actions such as promotions and re-enlistment are stopped until the member is back in compliance with regulations.\n\nI don't know about the other services, but the Army's guidelines are found in AR (Army Regulation) 600-8-2, Suspension of Favorable Personnel Actions. Link for the PDF of AR 600-8-2 is below.

THEY ARE ALL THREATENING YOU BECAUSE THEY ARE JEALOUS OF YOUR PAST MILITARY CAREER. PROBABLY MOST OF THE ONES DOING THE THREATENING. HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO HAVE A CAREER IN ANY MILITARY, LET ALONE THE GLORIOUS RED ARMY. MY ADVICE TO YOU WOULD BE NOT TO LISTEN TO THEM.\nIt May also have something to do with one of your earlier questions that you were also a submarine commander i think people do not know how versatile the Russian soldiers can be.\nI thought you had gone back to Russia its been a long While since i have seen one of your questions.

it is a quite simple yes mate, I am an ex Guardsman who served along side guys from the Republic who joined the Irish Guards.\n\nThey will carry out all the same standard checks as if you lived in the UK. I wish you all the best in the future.

Try the local VFW posts in the area. As for actual military records, some may be hard to get due to a records fire at a Army Facility in 1973.

I searched for records for my grandfather's WW2 records because he had earned several medals but wanted to get home so bad when he was done - he didn't wait for them and then never followed up. BUT, during the Vietnam war protests there were several protests and one in particular that many of the records were destroyed by fire.  If you have even one piece of paper that has any of his info, that is the starting point. There are certian medals that he would have gotten just for being enlisted. Then there are other medals that he would have gotten based on his job and length of service. THEN there are speciality medals for conduct, promotion, ect. I found that the old guys that work behind the counters at the army surplus stores are a GREAT reference and since most of them have been thru a war or two know who to call where. Good luck. These medals definately become a family heirloom. It took me three years to get all of my grandfathers. And I did it thru surplus stores.

If you are from the UK go to the following web adddress for British Army records/contact  details:- \n\nhttp://www.army.mod.uk/contacts/divisions/records.htm\n\nIf you feel motivated enough to do some research yourself and know (or get to know via the Army contacts above) a reasonable amount about his army service you could go to the Public Record Office, Kew, and search through the appropriate military records.  The PRO staff  are extremely helpful and will guide you.\n\nI researched every detail of my father's RAF service this way. An amazing amount of information is available.  If you want any info on doing the latter, contact me via the YA message facility.

It is becoming quite acceptable in the UK Armed Forces for both let alone one member to be on active service and I've heard of children being born and still both members are retained in the Forces. Is your question to do with UK or US?

They do and it is sacrilege. Another nail in the coffin of the real Chelsea. It's like Liverpool putting away fans in the Kop. It shouldn't be allowed, but unfortunately Peter Kenyon has no regard for history.

Because it's still the law. But I have known many a bartender who will look the other way when I flash my military i.d. ; )

In other countries military service IS mandantory for at least 2 years for all able bodied people, men or women.\nIt would serve to teach some much needed job skills and maybe some people would not have the desperation that makes them commit crimes. This is my humble opinion, I wish I had been able to go in but I am "4-F"

doubt you can do that.most are already retired and i'm guessing the rest already might have tried to serve in the armed forces and were rejected for some reason. Or maybe they served already and didn't renew their service contract,so they shouldn't be forced to serve if they don't wish to.unless of course congress does reinstate the draft and then everyone is fair game.

As a former British Army Officer I had to complete a period of service in the Reservist List after leaving the Army. I opted to do this in a local Territorial Army (TA - our equivelent of the National Guard) unit. I then actually went on to take selection for the TA Special Air Service regiment which I am still serving in and enjoying immensley. It gives me the benefits of being able to enjoy my civilian life and job, whilst still spending one evening a week and one weekend a month plus a two week summer detatchment continuing my military career.
