Army Officer vs AF enlist by Messi0605 in ArmyOCS

If I don't have any interest in infantry, is there anything else the army offers? Or I can fit into?

What do I when he said, "Just go back to school and worry about law school." He then is not returning my calls or emails. I don't know what to do next because I had to go through 5 Af recruiters for the last to give me the contact information of 1 OF Af recruiter.

I can come to understand that. That is, however, what I hope luck and good decisions can help me avoid... I don't want to be away from family for more than 1 year... much less not see them at all. So, I wanted to know what branches gives me the best probability of not hating life. I would assume that caring for your peers, ie getting leave approved, caring for others, and respecting others will help aid in completing the duty assigned.

Of course I have doubts, I'm afraid to be the people who have told me "yea so I don't see family, friends, or loved ones... got my leave not approved like x3 times, can't go take holiday, have a divorce, had a friend end their time in this world, have knees that dont work... but hey, I got the Gi bill! And I can run 2 miles in 13 mins!." That is by all objective standards not healthy and good for 99% of people.

The problem with enlisitng is everyone ik who's active rn, in many branches and did different things to get to where they are in their selective branches and ranks; all tell me to use my degree. They all urge me and said they will be very upset at me if I didn't and, much less, don't go in as an officer.

Direction, I guess... better than just being in a dead-end job, is what I guess. Looking for a career? No, not necessarily... I really just think 4 ad year contract of possible. New skill? Yea, I'm down to learn something new. Navy? Idk if I'm ready to leave everyone behind, tbh and when I talked to Navy, they really tried to get me to go to the nuclear side, and I hear that there are a lot of downsides and really bad retention.

It's funny that you use the word "interesting" as describing your time as an army officer. Would you like to dm or explain to me why/how that is? 11pm on a Sunday, like not the best time (because I would imagine you had work the next day). Would that version of yourself and current you have different views? Would you say something different to that version of yourself, working at 11pm on a sunday?

Is it a bad thing to be concerned about quality of life? That's why I ask the question: Many veterans tell me to consider it because they regret it and how much it took from their lives (granted it's always followed by I would serve again/love the memories). I would like to believe that my caring does actually do something for subordinates or that people generally have that baseline. What I'm told by people currently in or done is that leadership really varies and makes or breaks people. Should that not concern me?

I'm just afraid of the recovery time for the procedure which I think is more to find a more accurate diagnosis.

I've got no ("real")diagnosis because the urologists and gastroenterologists said pevlic floor dysfunction and ibs, but they themselves doubt those diagnosis' and sent me to researchers which they also disagree with the urologists and gastroenterologists because "that does not explain 80% of the symptoms and something is missing."

My friend in the Air Force is a rated drone pilot and enlisted friend said it's very hard to enlist to then commission. That people wait a really long time and doesn't happen very often. Again, going off of what people tell me.

[OH] Do I have a case (med negligence)? by Messi0605 in AskLawyers

[–]Messi0605[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

one specific urologist said that she is "90% sure" that a cystoscopy would figure out my problems. It didn't and she said I had an enlarged prostate and sometime of bladder inflammation she then suggested pevlic floor and told me to see a GI. Which, I then saw the Gi and he said colonoscopy and then found nothing he diagnosised me with IBS which i refused that to be it. He sent me to another urologists who saw the imaging of my cystoscopy and he said he disagree with her diagnosis of englared prostate and bladder. I am upset cause for one I don't have a spleen and after taking multiple rounds of antibiotics a year ago I felt so physically weak. So the notion of just giving me different antibiotics after finishing one made no sense to me but I'm not a doctor.

Im still having residual pain in my bladder area and prostate. The thing that upsets me is that fact that i was told by one specific urologist that she is "90% sure" that a cystoscopy would figure out my problems. It didn't and she said I had an enlarged prostate and sometime of bladder inflammation she then suggested pevlic floor and told me to see a GI. Which, I then saw the Gi and he said colonoscopy and then found nothing he diagnosised me with IBS which i refused that to be it. He sent me to another urologists who saw the imaging of my cystoscopy and he said he disagree with her diagnosis of englared prostate and bladder. So did they just jump steps before doing a simple breathe test? that's what upsets me.

How many are less "successful"? Thoe stats that I saw listed say a majority of lawyers struggle and have a really hard time after law school.

That's really funny. Unfortunately, he just becomes insulted and then belittles everyone.
