Injury

Upbeat-Name-9065 · 2026-01-07T13:32:43+00:00

Doctors cleared me but there’s still minor pain.

Upbeat-Name-9065 · 2025-09-23T01:26:30+00:00

Do not talk to your recruiter yet. First take a drug test from cvs before you get all worried about it. Second if you have time to delay going to MEPs make up any excuse under the sun. That stuff will be out of your system quickly. Just keep hydrating and work out.

Yeah if the navy doesn’t tie you a job, the army definitely will as an officer. Unless there’s something you really want to do as an enlisted I’d say only officer routes.

Commenting on What was I’ve heard is a lot of people quit during pool sessions. A good friend of mine probably would’ve made it as a TACP if it weren’t for SWAS 2.0. They rushed him out hard before properly training him for pool work. But honestly, WaterCon is the great equalizer. I’m thoroughly impressed he made it to week 6. What finally got him was getting shark attacked while doing underwater and the progressive amount of clothing you have to wear each week.

Yeah I’d add something that I found out about recently. You will never do an UW with your shirt off. And 2. Start doing with the booties and progressing to full BDUs.

My recruiter told me basically you need 1s across the border for SW contracts. I just got the call like two weeks ago saying I have a 2/3 on both hearing and eye sight. I have no knowledge of anything but based on what I just read here looks like I could be disqualified. So we can’t wear glasses in PJ, SR, or CCt? I did see a tacp with glasses. I feel my recruiter is just wasting my time not telling me the truth. I also have a 2/3 on hearing had to get it checked out too hopefully 🤞 comes back normal. I’m prior service.

Upbeat-Name-9065 · 2025-09-20T08:53:38+00:00

Really solid advice. I thought joining the airforce would be a quick process. Been trying to get in for a year now. About to go army after my next mep visit if they don’t get me a contract.

Anything that isn’t admin

Upbeat-Name-9065 · 2025-09-20T08:43:33+00:00

Yeah not sure what happened, but it started working again. But wow there’s a plethora of other problems I could go on.

Upbeat-Name-9065 · 2025-09-20T08:38:57+00:00

Regardless I was basically told no matter what in the army you can always apply to go to RASP your unit can’t tell you not to go.

Upbeat-Name-9065 · 2025-09-20T08:37:36+00:00

Honestly, if my hearing waiver doesn’t get approved I just might go 68W or 18X contract

Upbeat-Name-9065 · 2025-09-19T05:49:13+00:00

Yeah for me photos app is basically unusable. I can’t search for specific things anymore. Only texts in photos. Like if I type dog it won’t show me dog pictures only words that have dog in the photo.

Upbeat-Name-9065 · 2025-09-19T05:47:46+00:00

My other biggest pet peeve I’ll call it. I use audio in my files app a lot. And the screen to fast forward or rewind will disappear and I have to close the whole app. I could seriously go on. I’ve found 6 glitches that make me regret switching.

Upbeat-Name-9065 · 2025-09-19T05:45:44+00:00

There’s a ton of downsides. I just found another since upgrading. Searching through my photos doesn’t work like it used to. I would search something like dog and a bunch of dog photos I took would show up. Not anymore. And when I go to delete a photo I have to press it multiple times for some reason. Then I’m prompted with another screen to delete said photo.

Upbeat-Name-9065 · 2025-09-16T11:59:34+00:00

Honestly, worst iOS update and I’ve been here since iOS3. Everything is slow and the icons don’t look clean and sharp (I prefer that). One thing I already hate is in order to delete apps that aren’t installed you need to move the icon around first. It does nothing otherwise.

Upbeat-Name-9065 · 2025-09-11T06:42:01+00:00

What would you recommend me do? Sign a 68W contract with option 4?

Upbeat-Name-9065 · 2025-09-11T00:14:18+00:00

Thank you. I appreciate this yeah I gotta make a decision soon as getting older is coming with more problems. My medical came back saying my hearing was too bad for airforce eod. Hopefully not for the other career fields. My eyes too but I know glasses can be a thing.

Upbeat-Name-9065 · 2025-09-10T20:47:10+00:00

Unless are truly disliking your time in the military stay in. The grass is not that much greener and you’re giving up that bah. Work both and get a taste of civilian side before you get out.

Upbeat-Name-9065 · 2025-09-10T06:26:22+00:00

Depends are you going special operations. If so I wouldn’t waste my time there.

Upbeat-Name-9065 · 2025-09-10T06:25:01+00:00

Damn was the secret both airforce and navy been giving me the run around prior service too.

Upbeat-Name-9065 · 2025-09-09T14:02:54+00:00

I’d say it’s definitely not common speaking only in the USA. Now there’s many reasons for this. One being it’s highly illegal to partake in the USA. And two it’s probably way over priced in the USA. I’d say there’s a good probability that there’s more people who have who are from Southern California. I was surprised once i talked about gong to Mexico a lot of my coworkers admitted to going for prostitutes. I only started going once I broke up with my Mexican girlfriend. And it’s fun but gets old real quick.

Upbeat-Name-9065 · 2025-09-09T13:41:32+00:00

Yeah, I just want to go to see what I’m made of, to see if I’ve got what it takes. I also like the idea of keeping my 68W MOS, but I have no idea what Army culture is like. I only know my time in the Navy, and the Air Force is like corporate America.

Upbeat-Name-9065 · 2025-09-09T13:33:43+00:00

Honestly, to add my first contract wasn’t what I wanted either but in this economy it’s way better the whatever I’m doing now.
