From someone who wanted to serve, but was turned down, thanks to the vets, and a "you're welcome" to the OP.
I had a professor who wrote a letter of recommendation for me when I was trying to get into both Navy and AF OCS, and when I was turned down, he had a saying that he considered appropriate, and I do use it from time to time: "Involuntary civilian."
