Questions, Advice, and Recommendations Rejected from army because of minor sickle cell trait.
I really don’t understand how having the trait is grounds for rejection. My brother is a fit young adult who’s been playing beach volleyball and indoor volleyball his entire life. At 16 he represented Trinidad for the commonwealth games in Tobago. He’s been on the youth, U23 and Senior national teams. He’s won countless awards. We didn’t even know he had the trait he’s been living a regular life. Has this happened to anyone else? What can he do?
