Hello Everyone,
Thanks for having me on your forum. I never thought I'd be interested in the legion, but man, the fever has me.
I'm 32, medically retired US Navy submariner. Now a US Navy cyber security contractor. I have it good, really good. That's the problem. My life is comfortable, too much so.
When I was a submariner, we held each other to the highest standards. If you were a sh*t bag, you got kicked out. It was that simple. Our lives depended on counting on the guy next to you. No room for hurt feelings or bullsh*t. I loved it. Until I got a herniated cervical disk in my neck, that is. That ended my submarine career. Even though I got it fixed with an artificial disk, it was too late. My fate had been sealed.
Well I'm pretty smart so I got into cyber security, make great money and live an easy life. I am surrounded by soft, lazy, albeit intelligent coworkers. I am not raising them up to my standard, I am sinking to theirs. Everyone is trying to get out of work, not get the mission done. I hate it. I feel like I have no meaning. My grandfather was Navy, my father was Navy, and I was Navy. The military runs through my veins and I just want back in a family like that again.
The thought of joining the legion has given me hope. Hope that I can be in the military again. This is the fist time in awhile that I've had that.
I've read this forum, and tried to find an answer to the following question:
"Is the artificial disk in my neck an automatic disqualifier for Legion service?"
Thank you for taking the time to give this a read.
Respectfully,
Spectrely
P.S. For the curious, here is one of the best articles ever written on submarine life.

My name's Cleve Langdale, and I used to be a Navy nuclear machinist's mate. From the school to the fleet, it sucked.
