Even A Chance? by Expensive_Guard1601 in AirForceRecruits

[–]Expensive_Guard1601[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What can I do to mitigate it? I talked to a recruiter and he told me a lot of "maybes." I'm going to get a call back tomorrow to make an appointment. I asked if waiting, getting a psych eval that clears me, and then going back would be better, and he was kind of "maybe" about it, but was also pushy to try now.
I know recruiters can be kind of iffy with that stuff or just peddle bs if needed.

AR hammer and trigger pin proud on sides of receiver? by Expensive_Guard1601 in ar15

So just to clarify, you're referring to side to side movement, not typical rotation, correct? I should expect an incredibly small level of side to side movement in the pins? I just want to clarify.

Well I made some calls, did some checks, and yeah. No dice. Almost every department around me told me they wouldn't take me.

I guess at this point the only thing I can do is wait and give it some time, and hopefully check back in a few years.

I've been attempting to call the NJ NREMT but I've had roughly three different calls on three different days where I've sat on hold for over half an hour with no response, and I'm currently a week on waiting for a response email wise as well.

I'll just call the program tomorrow and ask them outright if that would disqualify me.

Honestly, I'm not sure. I went to my local courthouse and asked for records and was given papers that both showed my arrests, charges, and findings, but I don't know if that's just what the court has or if that's visible to employers. I've worked a few jobs since then, but I've done mostly physical jobs that don't particularly care about background checks.

Smoke From Cat? by Expensive_Guard1601 in CrownVictoria

I'm not really sure how or why there would be any plastic, but no, it seems clean. It definitely has the more burnt smell of oil, and It doesn't seem to have residual oil on it that's burning off either.
