[QUOTE="TinCanSailor, post: 2518701, member: 39184"] Reba is essentially correct. I used to handle congressional inquiries at my command. Basically you need to draft a letter to your district Congressman and both of your state's U.S. Senators. One letter to all three is acceptable. Make sure you show their names at the bottom of your letter. Now, state in your letter: -What are you trying to do. -Who you have talked to and what they said. -Explain your desire to serve your country. -Thank them in advance for any assistance they may be able to provide. -Don't make it more than two pages long. -Attach any documentation such as (rejection) (medical documents) etc. Mail the letters separately, certified, signature required. Allow some time for them to draft correspondence to your district recruiting area. By law they must send and receive back a reply from the recruiting district before a Senate letter reply comes back to you. There is a time limit for the recruiting district to reply, but not Washington, so be patient. If Washington says no......they were your last chance. Stay positive, miracles can happen. (I believe there are sample letters on the internet.) [/QUOTE]
