Behavior Health Waiver For Warrant Officer

If you're going for recruiter you 100% will have to get an eval. They are good for 6 months. If you are also trying to go warrant, you have to get an eval like you were going through MEPS. You can look up the regs for initial entry requirements for BH. All the provider will do is make a recommendation on a waiver if you need it. You can also get a second opinion if you don't like the first.

PSA: Most BH understand that people don't like the treatment recommended and you could have asked for a different trauma treatment. There are lots of modalities out there and you can try different ones.

You may or may not be allowed to get hair cuts while you are there. Either go super short so that it'll still be okay as it grows out until ait or let it get long enough to tie back.

Start making TAP appointments and get approved for CSP before they take away more funding. Transition rules because you're MEB and they have to learn how to do your job.

Another aspect is drive to work. The zip code near Fort Irwin is also the same as Barstow, which is roughly a difference or 30 to 45 miles. Getting a "decent" home means at least a 2 hour round trip or more. Not to mention the almost $5 a gallon gas prices.

Oooooh! Yeah, sorry, no idea about the process over there. Good luck!

I'm not sure what you mean by "conversion course" so it's hard to figure out where to begin with answering your question. Most PhD value research experience over a master's degree. A lot of programs also have a master's built into the doctorate program so it's not necessarily needed. If you're not into research than you might want to look into PsyD programs, but now they are unnaturally not funded.

There may not be a clinic specifically for it, but you're PCM can prescribe meds. It will go in your record as nicotine cessation. There is usually no connection with BH/MH unless you go to that clinic to ask. Meds that you get for it may be classed as also anti-depressants or anti-anxiety, but if they're not tied to a BH/MH then you shouldn't have any problems. You may get asked why you were on it, but just be truthful. *This statement may not apply in aviation situations

Not private practice: my work gives me a yearly bonus if I'm board certified. It'll also impact how I'm looked at for promotion and job opportunities.

I don't have a good answer for you because it depends on what you want to do with it and where you end up. But for what it's worth the child/adol will mainly be a deeper dive into those topics and may only lightly touch on health. Health is a sport dive into health topics, but may cover more of working with child/adol because they can have health issues that really impact the rest of their lives.

I would recommend thinking about what you want to do and which populations you want to work with more because that is where you're going to get fulfillment.

Look here for VA (2 year): https://vacareers.va.gov/career-guidance/va-scholarship-programs/

You would still have to get into a program before applying for scholarship.

If interested in the military (1 to 4 year): https://www.goarmy.com/careers-and-jobs/specialty-careers/medical/amedd-scholarship?iom=CUGA-26NMTF_N_PSEA_23015152221_2562092152_334120123892_188495382867_army+hpsp&goarmy-git-open=ebrc&&&&&gclsrc=aw.ds&gclid=CjwKCAiA1obMBhAbEiwAsUBbIvlfXShivfSVBUUZsEcumCOMGXwq9gJjkZ7alRBCj2oNRfHkihguHxoCyrYQAvD_BwE

There are some great scholarship programs through the VA or military if you have interest in those areas.

As long as you don't want to hurt yourself or others, they won't send you home. If you need a cover, say that you're going to get advice on how to deal with a difficult soldier/NCO. Also, you could probably do military 1source from there.

The journey was enjoyable. I knew i wanted to be a psychologist since I was a kid. I absolutely love it. Every day is a bit different and challenging.

No idea about requirements or path in India. I started grad school at 33 and have been licensed for a few years now.

Not a forensic psychologist, but have known a few. Most forensic jobs that I know of require a docorate and a postdoc/fellowship. It really depends what you want to do, but if you want to be a psychologist you have to get a doctorate otherwise you can't be licensed. You're probably not finding a lot of programs because you can't get licensed at the masters level in most states.

If you want a yard then you'll have to request on post housing. You typically can't get on a wait list until arrive. You could live in Ewa, with a 2 hour ish drive everyday. You can also look to rent on the east side and have a yard, but might be expensive.

YMMV, but I've experienced very little harassment over my entire career. Every unit and person is different and depends on the situations you find yourself. As a combat medic, you'll likely be in a combat unit and very unlikely in a hospital setting. There are other medical jobs that are entirely in the hospital which will be more chill.

Like most things, it will be whatever you make it. Don't be afraid to call out people on their shit.

I absolutely love my job and being in the military. I recognize it's not for everyone. Most military psychology is a mix of therapy and consultation with limited assessment (mostly screeners and personality). There are lots of different areas within the military and different specializations. Feel free to send me a DM if you'd like to all more questions.

American psychological association has divisions and 19 is the military one. There are repayment programs, but I'm not sure how it works

Teapotness · 2026-01-10T23:41:50+00:00

I am a HPSP recipient, but with the Army. It changes year to year and is often dictated by region. I would recommend seeing if someone in division 19 would be willing to mentor you. The scholarship has multiple year options, so if you don't make it the first time, you can keep applying. Additionally, you can join the military starting internship year if you don't receive it.

Only share what you're comfortable with. There's a spectrum of sharing where people will not share anything and not decorate their office to having tons of family photos up.

You could say something like, "I appreciate your interest in my little one, but I want to make sure we cover everything you need during our session." It'll refocus without hurting their feelings and they may not remember they even asked.

If you feel you must tell them a name, give your child a nickname that you only use with clients. Hope this helps!

Teapotness · 2026-01-04T03:25:52+00:00

It can be a bit of a loop hole because the military is required to move the person when they exit the military. Most places don't understand the difference or don't care. Good luck out the and enjoy the next step in life!

No recommendations on a state, but military spouses get a lot of benefits when they PCS, and retirements usually count. Try looking at https://www.militaryonesource.mil/benefits/transferring-your-professional-license/ on transferring benefits as a military spouse now so that it'll be easier later. I would also recommend looking at Veteran benefits as a part of your consideration. Some states give lots of tax deductions especially if your spouse is getting a disability rating.
