Hey everyone, regardless of what I am told or hear I will attempt anyways. My lifelong dream is probably silly or stupid to some of you, but it doesnt matter. I have always wanted to join the army and be in airborne infantry or anything in the combat zone. I am determined, but as a child I had asthma really bad, which whether you know or nor is a disqualification. However for the most part I have come out of it, going from 5 attacks in the summer when I was a toddler to thinking an attack now is impossible for me. I do all kinds of physical activity: hiking, hunting, running,sports with no treatment whatsoever. The only problem I have during physical activty would be it is more difficult to catch my breath which happens to everyone right? It just seems like I am trying to breathe through my mouth more than others, like I am having more trouble. It's just that I cant identify it bcause the symptoms could be any respiratory illness. Thats the only symtom I have.Now when I am calm and relaxing there is a vibration from my right rib, like something is down there popping when I inhale and exhale, but no pain or difficulty is noticed. If anyone has ever had anything like that please let me know. There is no wheezing, coughing, chest tightness or anything else. Also I have only recently become very physically active. I am just so stressed I do not know what to think. I want to be more confident, I know I am willing to go the distance. If I cant get into the army I will be crushed I just can't handle not getting in thats how important it is to me, and on top of that my mom dont think I can do it and doesnt think I am that serious about it, but she is foolish because it is the one thing in my life I am completely sure of. I cant be complete without it. No one can talk me out of it by trying to scare me. If I knew I was going to die I would do it anyways. I just dont know what to do, everyone discourages me, but I can't forsake it I just cant. I just think that I will feel more complete if something in my life really meant something. I just need some advice, if there are any vets or even anyone that can give me some tips or anything I would greatly appreciate it.
