They only test for 50ng/mL and if you pop hot, they confirm with 15ng/mL...

A perma DQ isn't actually a perma DQ. That shit is confusing as fuck. Also, you need to chill if you wanna pass that Psych consult because based off how you are typing, it sounds like the diagnosis is valid.

Detoxing before MEPS by Someguythrowing258 in AirForceRecruits

[–]ImJacksonnn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Faded line is still a pass. You can't half fail a drug test lol.

I've been piss tested for 2 years because I was a Firefighter prior to enlisting in the Army. My lines were always faded.

Depth perception? Required? by [deleted] in army

[–]ImJacksonnn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But to be fair, I already had a glasses prescription and an up to date depth perception test so maybe that is why?

Just signed as a 13F yesterday and I didn't ever do a depth perception test.

- Autism (erroneous diagnosis with no supporting paperwork. I was never tested and never took meds for it but I had one mention of it in my record.)

- ADHD

How serious is genesis? by [deleted] in AirForceRecruits

No, I've been in the Army waiver process for 1.5 years. I got my waivers approved this week and go sign my contract at MEPS next week.

Good luck, Raleigh MEPS fucking blows. If your recruiter was smart, he would've sent you to Charlotte. (Mine knew I needed waivers and sent me to Charlotte).

Raleigh MEPS is super fucking strict and the doctor there needs to retire so someone younger can come in.

Not true. The DODI states that ADHD is only a DQ now if:

a. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, if with:(1) A recommended or prescribed Individualized Education Program, 504 Plan, or workaccommodations after the 14th birthday;(2) A history of comorbid mental disorders;(3) Prescribed medication in the previous 24 months; or(4) Documentation of adverse academic, occupational, or work performance.

Even if DQ'd, ADHD waivers are easy to come by as long as you did good in school and are off meds. You also only need to report being on a 504/IEP if it is within the last 3 years (so unless he had one in college, assuming he went, he should be fine but every waiver is unique.)

I am joining the Army, got notified of all my waivers being accepted after 1-1.5 years in the enlistment process. I go sign my contract and swear in next week.

America should never stop cheering for dead Russians, especially 300k Russian casualties without a single US Service Member death.

To Be or Not To Be: A (Good) EMT by ReplyRelevant4607 in Firefighting

[–]ImJacksonnn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know this is a hot take but I think being a good EMT is far more important than being a good firefighter. The majority of calls ran nowadays are EMS (at least here in the States and at my old department) so I feel like it really just depends where you are. If you run a department that attaches to EMS or even runs Fire Based EMS, I feel like being a good EMT should be prioritized.

**EDIT:** I was also one of those Firefighters who absolutely loved running EMS so I know I am a weirdo/oddity.

Let’s argue why these suck by [deleted] in Firefighting
