1. Even if I whip myself into shape, will the military (any branch) accept me if I wear glasses AND have a 40% hearing loss (I also suffer from depression, too)? This is out of mere curiousity; I'm not joining the military.
2. I notice that there are academies for the Army, Navy, and Air Force, and Coast Guard but not for the Marines. Why not? I know the Marines get their officers from other academies as well as ROTC programs but how come there's no Marine academy?

You wouldn't necessarily have to whip yourself into shape, as long as you are the right weight. The wearing of glasses is no problem. Not sure about the hearing part, but I don't see a problem. As long as you are not on any meds for the depression that isn't a problem either.
The Marines attend the Naval Academy at Annapolis, Maryland.
Good Luck in whatever you decide to do!

No such software exists interior the militia or VA. He could get funds himself. If his Congressman become a chum of the daddy's in some way then he could have pushed to have this guy given a "completely disabled" score which might equivalent funds, yet not his toddlers. he's mendacity that, you already know he's a liar for the reason that he claims to be a veteran. possibly he's utilising this tale approximately receiving beneficiant college advantages to toughen his "heroic profession."
