Heres a bit of trivia, or lore; while an army recruiter, I had a kid that was perfect, smart, in good shape, wanted to be an MP, a great kid. Anyway, I am getting him all filled out with the paperwork drill and he is signing things, and one of the things you have to ask is, do you have all your fingers and toes. He says, NO. I said, what! And he is missing his right hand trigger finger! I thought, he is screwed, no way the MEPS site will let him in, let alone as an MP!!

Well, he went down, doc tossed a pencil on the ground, kid picked it up. He used his middle finger like a trigger finger. Made it through MEPS, basic and AIT.

Good kid, wonder where he is?
