I was rejected from every branch because of epilepsy.. Don't feel bad.

But there are still other ways to get involved in the military such as administrative position, engineering, etc.

They said, "your on medication it's a no go." or "If you had a siezure you would do more harm than good" stuff like that. I was like, I'm allowed to drive, im sure I could do computers or something. they didn't go for it.

That's weird. Our military is high-tech now. I mean they should allow you to play with predators or other drones they have.
