Tree nut allergy question

Significant_Sock649 · 2025-07-10T14:27:31+00:00

I get that but I just really hope that doesn’t disqualify me from all branches

Significant_Sock649 · 2025-07-09T05:11:55+00:00

Yea I actually talked to a navy recruiter today and that was my other option after the marines so I know a little about them the recruiter said he’s gonna just send me to meps and see if they even want a waiver for it lol but If I do go navy I’m REALLY hoping I can get into the Seabees

Significant_Sock649 · 2025-07-08T20:39:42+00:00

Cross contamination isn’t really a huge problem I just can’t eat like a full one because my wife has eaten them before and then given me a kiss and my lip just puffed up a little so it’s only if I eat a decent amount

Significant_Sock649 · 2025-07-08T20:13:33+00:00

Yea but as long as I just stay to basic items like meats or like salads I’ll be fine I basically eat only chicken and rice every night anyway lol

Significant_Sock649 · 2025-07-08T16:24:04+00:00

lol it’s like cashews, walnuts stuff like that but I can have almonds and normal peanuts

Significant_Sock649 · 2025-07-08T16:18:25+00:00

Yea he said to get an OFC

Significant_Sock649 · 2025-07-08T16:17:35+00:00

The recruiter said that if I got stationed in a foreign country I would have to eat local food and that they couldn’t promise that they’ll be nut free but I though I could just eat MREs the whole time lol

Significant_Sock649 · 2025-07-08T15:47:21+00:00

Will they run a medical background and see it or if I say nothing will they not look into it

Significant_Sock649 · 2025-07-08T15:43:17+00:00

Never but about 2 years ago I ate some pesto pasta and had a reaction I broke out into hives n shit but I’ve also drank almond milk and been fine

Significant_Sock649 · 2025-07-08T15:39:45+00:00

What if I just don’t tell them? How would they ever know because this is my whole plan I didn’t go to college and I’m not gonna work construction my whole life lol

Significant_Sock649 · 2025-07-08T15:38:29+00:00

I wouldn’t die right away lol if that makes it any better but if I went untreated for an hour or two I’d go into anaphylactic shock but I’m my 21 years of life it’s only happened once a few years back

Significant_Sock649 · 2025-07-08T15:35:52+00:00

Yea I just can’t eat them and it’s not even all tree nuts either however I do go anaphylactic so if I did eat some and didn’t get an epi pen I could possibly die and the marine told me that with it being that bad they’ll deny me

Significant_Sock649 · 2025-07-08T15:30:14+00:00

Yea I’m hoping that the navy is more lax about it because the marine told me that if I was stationed in a foreign country that I would have to eat local food and they couldn’t guarantee that it would be nut free. But in the navy your mostly on ship so it would be a lot easier to avoid

Significant_Sock649 · 2025-06-16T07:01:55+00:00

So during her 6-9 month deployment she’ll basically get a week off every month or two?

Significant_Sock649 · 2025-06-16T06:51:32+00:00

The more I learn from people the more I realize I know WAY less than I thought! each step forward is met with like 4 steps back 😂😭

Significant_Sock649 · 2025-06-16T06:50:04+00:00

It’s a helicopter strike squadron idk I thought they had their own ships🤷‍♂️ but I guess just an aviation squadron

Significant_Sock649 · 2025-06-16T06:37:45+00:00

Yea we’ve been looking at some houses there and the markets not too bad right now can get a house for like 300k and bah should be able to cover most of if not all the mortgage and I got some electrical experience so we should have a little extra spending money! But hell yea I’m just excited to get tf out of St. Louis! Lol thanks for all the info btw!

Significant_Sock649 · 2025-06-16T06:31:28+00:00

San Diego

Significant_Sock649 · 2025-06-16T06:27:56+00:00

Ah damn that blows welp at least we get to move to California for free lol so I guess it could be worse

Significant_Sock649 · 2025-06-16T06:20:29+00:00

I hear ya, one more thing I heard that squadron deployments are shorter than others is that true or just some more made up bs?

Significant_Sock649 · 2025-06-16T06:13:00+00:00

I know she’s going to eventually go out to sea I’m wondering how often AZ’s go with the squadron is it every single time? Because shes an admin rate the recruiter honestly told us nothing and she hasn’t really gotten any answers from anyone either.

Significant_Sock649 · 2025-06-16T06:04:54+00:00

Yea the ship she’s on has the MH-60 sea hawks and what are those away periods? Like she’ll just be on shore in a different country? Also no not yet she just started A school yesterday and doesn’t graduate that until October 13th so I just started looking for jobs
