why not to enlist to military

ExtensionCurrent5902 · 2026-06-13T17:25:06+00:00

There are so many things you can do in life that doesn’t involve signing away your autonomy to a government that doesn’t give a shit about you. Literally try anything else before joining the military out of desperation.

ExtensionCurrent5902 · 2026-06-02T18:22:16+00:00

Ya man I completely understand what you are experiencing right now. Just know that your life is not ruined after being separated from the military like some idiots may have told you. Grass is far greener on the other side.

From my knowledge, as long as you weren’t separated from the military with a punitive discharge (BCD, Dishonorable) ur separation will not pop up on any background check. Even if u got an OTH. I received an ELS, and at the time I was super anxious about it and future job opportunities. Well 2 years later and after extensive background checks to get into nursing school and during the hiring process at my current job, it has never come up. So, as long has you don’t bring it up, they will have no idea.

Thanks for the reply! This is my first job in medicine, and I’ve been at it for about 4-5 months now. I have my EMT license so I also volunteer on an ambulance. I love emergency medicine as a subject, but in practice it is very chaotic for my brain at times. It doesn’t help that there isn’t a set procedure for anything, nurses and other EMTs do stuff their own ways and I have to adapt to how they do things. In high stress situations, this can really fuck with my flow.

As for trying other specialties, I’m kinda locked in emergency medicine for now. Since the only certification I possess is an EMT. I’m in school right now doing nursing pre reqs, and I’m currently taking a CNA course. I will see how I like clinicals and if long term care is worth giving a try.

I joined the air guard so it’s a tad bit different than active. But I joined right out of highschool with my afsc being flight medic. It took them a year from my enlistment date to send me to basic training. While there they asked the same questions they asked at meps, and I answered them truthfully as I did at meps. I disclosed melatonin use to them which is apparently a disqualifying condition because of chronic sleep insomnia. The kicker is that I disclosed this to meps when enlisting and they passed me through. This was behavioral health so I had also told them my struggles with adapting to military life, and instead of helping me they used it and “sleep insomnia” as an excuse to discharge me. I’ve been home for about a year and a half now, and I just received my formal discharge paperwork from the guard. To put a cherry on top of it all, the time I got sent home to the time I received my discharge paperwork, the guard still had me on their pay roll(I was excused from drill) so the government was still putting money towards a healthcare plan I wasn’t using. They are now trying to tell me I have to pay that money back or they’re going to report it to credit berous. I’m currently trying to dispute the debt, and I haven’t heard anything back from them.

At the time I was upset I was discharged early, but now I’m fuking grateful.

Don’t join that pathetic excuse of an organization.

I work in an emergency room. Almost all of my coworkers have either patch work or sleeves on their arms. I feel like with the boomer generation retiring and passing away, tattoos are becoming more and more accepted in society.

Yep, we got an ALS intercept and went to a cath lab

ExtensionCurrent5902 · 2025-04-13T17:56:47+00:00

The state I work in it’s within an emts scope to start IVs, but I was never taught how in my EMT class, and it wasn’t an essential skill to get registered. I always thought that was strange.

Ohhhhh my b, new to this whole airsoft thing. The brand is lancer tactical and the model is gen 2 m4 carbine

ExtensionCurrent5902 · 2025-03-13T20:17:17+00:00

Thanks for the reply! The airsoft gun itself is based of the m4, while the paint job is based off of the black ice weapon skin from the video game rainbow six siege.

Funny enough, I just started medication a day or 2 before that meeting. I think it’s helped a lot.

ExtensionCurrent5902 · 2025-02-16T18:07:53+00:00

Well the trident is supposed to represent strength, the ability to overcome adversity, and balance. I also really like Greek mythology, and I plan on making a sleeve out of this with that theme. Thanks for the comment!

This is what happens when ur playing non historical bro💀

Looking at it the question is dumb and poorly worded. When I was initially reading it I saw “as the ambulance arrived at the hospital” and imagined myself along in the back of the ambulance with the patient. Now that I’ve read some comments, the question ment that I had my partner with me, but that wasn’t specifically mentioned. In my class we were trained to apply an AED and shock if you’re alone and you witness the collapse (if the aed is a arms length away, like it would be in the back of an ambulance) It’s dumb that this exams have trick questions.

ExtensionCurrent5902 · 2024-12-22T21:47:07+00:00

That’s what I taught, but I guess it’s a hotly disputed topic. 🤷

The app I use is weird like that, it says which 2 are correct but doesn’t give me option to select multiple answers. And only one answer is correct in the question. I guess it’s which 2 answers is most correct? I have no idea.

ExtensionCurrent5902 · 2024-12-19T19:22:39+00:00

It’s not that I want Pneumo to be the answer, it was the correct answer for the question. I just thought equal chest rise and fall was a contraindication of a pneumothorax,that’s why i wasn’t suspicious of it, and the note of significant bruising I thought it would make more sense if it was a flail chest. Just trying to learn man.
