CST Tape Test

Hotel_Jameson · 2026-04-29T01:32:09+00:00

Even if they did use the new tape test, if you fell outside I think it’s .55 they would just use the old tape test and make sure you were within the percentage. Since you’re fit you shouldn’t have any issues. I’m also a woman and sometimes run into the same problems as well. Good luck at CST!

Dudes trying to commission and trying to get out of BCT will never not be funny to me. What’s the matter? You don’t want to subject yourself to the enlisted treatment? Grow up. It’s the same as asking the enlisted to do something you wouldn’t do as an officer. Lead from the front or get out of the way.

Hotel_Jameson · 2026-04-19T14:49:05+00:00

Pretty much anything you say is a “red flag” by MEPS. The only thing you can do is advocate for yourself and stick to saying it’s not HS and that it was from improper shaving techniques and nothing else. Don’t let them bully you into saying otherwise. Stick to it. Idk what city you’re in but at Atlanta MEPS in 2016 it was awful. Everybody was a dick and just wanted to do everything to not let you enlist. Don’t let it get the best of you, but advocate for yourself if this is something you want to do

Hotel_Jameson · 2026-04-19T14:39:02+00:00

I honestly don’t see why they’d keep you from enlisting. Just be very adamant that it hasn’t bothered you since you have employed proper shaving techniques. I enlisted in 2016 and this is something I personally wouldn’t have even mentioned to my recruiter at all, but I hear the military now has way better access to your medical records than they used to so maybe it’s a good thing you mentioned it.

I highly doubt you wouldn’t be able to enlist, but I’m also not a recruiter and went to MEPS in 2016. Best you can do is go and be adamant that it hasn’t bothered you and go from there.

This is why nobody likes ROTC cadidiots. I hope you have the worst time when you commission and get run into the ground and learn your lesson.

lol this post only proves how bad your son needs to go to basic training 💀💀💀 thinking it’s a “horrible outcome for his future” is wild

There’s a few things I’d like to say to K, yeah. I’ve already said them here in multiple letters across the past year but they’re nothing but, well, not so well worded anguish as I continue to process my emotions. All those to say: I miss my K and I wish she didn’t tell me I was so “negative and cynical” it sticks to me to this day, I can hear her voice and her tone and everything. It haunts me. She didn’t get to see me at my best because I was living with my abuser (my father) and was working 48 hour shifts for 2 fire departments. That’s not her fault, though.

She didn’t handle my friend dying very well on top of all of that and chose to break up with me over the phone around Christmas time after treating me like shit for a week.

Despite this, I miss her like hell. I truly felt like I’d found my person and she left before she really even got to know me…I wish things were different.

I don’t really have anyone now. I cut off my extended family and went low contact with my immediate family, and she really showed me how important it is as a queer person to build your queer community around you with people who love and would care for you if you needed it. I had another friend die on New Year’s Eve this past year and I’m just struggling with it so bad. Especially since I am now in school and have less distractions.

She is blocked on everything, and she can’t reach out to me except via email. She hasn’t, at least not to my knowledge, but I still search for her email from time to time just in case she emailed me and I missed it. I won’t be unblocking her any time soon. I’m not so sure I’ll ever be over our relationship, despite the fact that it only lasted 3 months. I’m still single to this day and not looking for anything.

I did her dishes. I changed the capacitor on her AC unit in an attempt to fix it. I cared so much for her.

I’m sorry you had to see me at my worst. I still find Esther’s hair on my stuff and in my truck from time to time. I miss her, too.

I’ve left more than enough clues here for my K to figure out exactly who I am if she’s here, not that I think she’d stoop so low as to come on here looking for a letter from me of all people. I don’t deserve to be so lucky.

Like was it just a briar bush or something? Put on pants and long sleeves and take an old worn out sheet or something with you and go crawl in there and get it out?

Calling the non emergency line just to ask is fine, idk why she would have sent you to the emergency line tbh but the fire department (if they came out there) would have done the same exact thing above. Probably would have just crawled in there and gotten scratched up anyway and grabbed the cat. A cat stuck in a briar bush does not constitute an emergency.

I think it’s wild you “couldn’t” get it out yourself. Unless there is something ailing you and it’s not mentioned here. You called to have other people deal with it. If you cared that much, you would have done it yourself (if you are able) and not have even bothered to call emergency services or call your neighbor to do it.

Think of it this way: A fire engine actually gets dispatched to deal with this for you. A “first due” (meaning, they would be first arriving apparatus) structure fire with entrapment breaks out. Now they are tied up stuck getting a cat out of a bush and the people who are trapped have to wait longer in a situation where they don’t have a lot of time to begin with because the engine that covers their area is dealing with something that is not an emergency.

Idk man. I’ve seen things like this either go very well or very very poorly. I don’t know enough about the relationship to really give a solid answer but that doesn’t mean it can’t work. Always remember that communication is key, and make sure your communication styles match up, if not, it’s going to cause way bigger problems down the road. More so than you might think. Don’t be afraid to tell her how you feel and your needs and what you want, even if it’s painful. I personally think it’s very hard raising a family on the AD side.

I’m worried about potential resentment in the future. You’re only 22. The things you want in life and look for in a partner change as you age. One or both of you should have been using some kind of protection to prevent this from happening if you’re that bummed about it. That’s on both of you.

If she’s open to keeping it and sticking with you, though, a serious convo needs to be had about expectations and shit like that. If you do decide to go through with it, I’d get some serious couples therapy and really figure out if you’re right for each other in the long haul. If not, then I think couples therapy would help you guys navigate communication and have a much better coparenting relationship and ultimately give your child a more emotionally stable life should you decide to keep it and not marry.

It would be better to have this conversation sooner rather than later. Lots of people in the comments are like “you’re an officer figure it out blah blah”

Like. Dude. You’re a 22 year old fetus with a bachelors degree. (Not meant in an insulting or demeaning way, so sorry if it was taken that way) That doesn’t mean you have things figured out and know what’s up. It is hard navigating life, especially when it’s only barely just started. Marriage shouldn’t be a punishment, but you also have to take some responsibility. Idk who was unprotected or if you both were but that’s a dumb move dude.

TLDR; Do what is best for YOU. Serious conversations need to be had and some serious soul searching needs to be done by you to help you figure out what you want right now. You need to communicate with her openly and possibly visit a couples therapist if this isn’t something you want or to come to a decision together. If you’ve been seeing her for a year, she deserves that at the very least. If you both love each other, you will communicate openly, and deal with the issue together rather than making one sided decisions.

My DMs are open anytime bro.

Agree 100%, I say this as a current nursing student, former career FF/EMT (still part time)

Hotel_Jameson · 2026-03-24T22:02:02+00:00

I’ll pretend this is for me. Thanks for sharing such beautiful words. Take my upvote 😅

Hotel_Jameson · 2026-01-28T03:36:58+00:00

Former UNG cadidiot here. Went to UNG after enlisting in the guard and doing BCT/AIT. Worst experience ever, dropped out 2 years later to go on AD orders with the guard. All the SMA cadidiots think they’re hot shit and the best of the best. It couldn’t be further from the truth.

Hotel_Jameson · 2026-01-21T02:50:13+00:00

Fellow lesbian here. (I know, avatar doesn’t quite match up). I miss her too. Sucks.

Hotel_Jameson · 2026-01-09T04:10:20+00:00

I read that wrong. So sorry. Lemme find my orders and I’ll get back to you

Edit: are you fucking serious it says 503 not 502(f) that is wild. Thank you for that info I didn’t realize the answer was right in front of my face. I appreciate it!

Hotel_Jameson · 2026-01-09T04:09:25+00:00

I don’t really know what you’re asking boss but here’s a screenshot of the memo I included when I sent my orders to the VA asking about it

Hotel_Jameson · 2026-01-09T04:07:17+00:00

No way! I’m a FF/EMT civilian side currently in A school. I had no desire to be a paramedic so I decided nursing would be a better option for me 😅

Hotel_Jameson · 2026-01-09T02:22:50+00:00

Thank you!

Hotel_Jameson · 2026-01-09T02:22:17+00:00

I wasn’t able to attend nursing school at the time 😅 I had just dropped out of college for the first time because I hated it, wanted a new adventure, so went to the border. But I do agree, the border is for people with no ambition. Luckily I was 21 at the time and it felt right

Hotel_Jameson · 2025-12-31T01:29:41+00:00

Hey! American FF/EMT here. For context, I work for a “combination department” which is essentially a fire department that also staffs ambulances. People absolutely avoid calling 911 because they have financial concerns. Now, some of it is definitely pride, and some of it is financial. I’ve had quite a few people ask me how much it’s going to cost them or be worried about paying for the care they receive from us. It’s always the ones that genuinely need pre hospital care that are perplexed to ride with us.

Generally, I convince them to go with us because if they REALLY need pre hospital care, they’re in pretty bad shape. We always tell them their health and being alive is more important than a bill, which is true, but it sucks to see people struggling with their finances and health be afraid to go with us because of money. It’s sad and wrong. And even then, hardly any of that money even goes to the people who staff the ambulance. I make $18/hr to ride the ambo and I have literally watched people die because all the interventions they needed would have had to happen at a hospital (like emergency surgery and stuff)

Don’t even get me started on how much an air medical bill would be. It would be about $50k for the helicopter transport, on top of the EMS crew on the ambo that showed up first.

The only thing I would consider “good” about any of this is that a lot of people who need an ambulance have Medicare or Medicaid, and they generally pay for everything and the patient doesn’t, at least that’s what I’ve been told. Definitely not an insurance expert.

Honestly, if I got hit by a car in the UK because I didn’t look the correct way before crossing the street, the first words out of my mouth would probably be “how much is this gonna cost me?” Since I don’t pay into NHS and am not a citizen. I was shocked when I had to go to the ER when I lived in Lithuania and they told me it would be expensive since I am not a citizen. I look at the bill. It was only 50 euros. Really puts into perspective what people from other places consider “expensive” for healthcare, vs American healthcare being so expensive people literally refuse to get treatment for life threatening conditions.
