If you were following my story so far, you might ask yourself; where is the disappointing part? Well you will read some of it in this post. After the seventh day leave I returned to base and after two days Lt. Bayat took me to Col. Beygi who was the commander of our battalion. Col. Beygi also had a very distinctive personality, he was a burned leader, a true commander, one that you obey not out of fear but respect and love. Col. Beygi told me that if I’m sure about my exemption I can leave the base.
Big mistake, huge, it's one of those mistakes you cannot forgive yourself easily. I left the base and started to study for master course entrance exam.
The 505 hospital took six month to complete my paper works and I couldn’t do anything about it, not in any legal way! The reason for this long period was that the typist of my documents typed my BMI 3.64. My BMI was 46.3; the doctors who should sign my documents noticed the mistyped and corrected it by pen and when my documents were send to the central health office they reject my document because they suspect fraud. So my documents had to be typed again and be signed by 12 doctors again.
Nobody told me that there will be another health committee in central health office of the military which must also accept my exemption in order to my exemption takes effect.
Two things happened in that six month first the rules by which my exemption was accepted were dropped by the government and they also stated that all the previous cases of exemption must be reevaluated by new rules! Second event was that I understood that military police is pursuing me because of the “escape from duty” charges against me!
To be continued…
