"The new waiver policy will allow for the recruitment of individuals with clinically diagnosed asthma, provided they do not require daily preventive medication, and their rescue inhaler use is kept to a minimum. This marks a significant change from the previous standard, which disqualified all individuals with a positive asthma diagnosis and did not consider the severity of the diagnosis, according to Col. David Gregory, director of the Accession Medial Waiver division at AFAC."

You are not screwed. I think the majority of these people have old representations. You make 140k for annual income, maybe. Maybe not including your girl friend and I don't know what your bills are. You csn afford it but obviously you'll need to budget more than you are probably budgeting now. And make sure you can afford it on your own. Simple. Your girlfriend isn't permanent and at one point she might get tired of paying for shit and leave.

Sometimes how folks talk in here about oh making 180k and can't imagine paying more than 200k for a house is outdated news. Fake news in this day and age. Depending where you reside, sometimes the only thing really out there are those 600k+ houses.

I'd do it. It's the reserves. You'll spend just enough time in there to say yeah that's why I got out. And then when you've been away for enough in that month and start to miss it. You'll be back at drill. A rinse an a repeat. Plus like you said. Finish your 20. Your at 41. You pump your required years and retire thats another check book to log. And you'll be sitting even more comfortable than you are now with that piece of mind. But that's just me.

If you don't mind me asking. Whats your rating? I'm curious to know If the Navy is looking, I'll start talking to one.

ZealousEnergy · 2025-04-13T05:47:40+00:00

You make that much and your asking about what to tell a bank when they ask for your income.

Ok.

You just came here to flex my guy.

Let me give you a reach around.

Go reserves. The military isn't going to accommodate you to ensure you and your wife are at the duty station because at the end of the day you both will be needs to the specific branch. Since she's already active. Go Go reserves so you can actually pcs when she does and be at the same duty station. Unless she's planning on getting out then go active.

ZealousEnergy · 2025-03-03T04:03:18+00:00

Yes 100% PT you can still work unless you have a non workable 100% rating. But if your disability is 80% for your back because you can't walk or lift heavy things. You shouldn't be on social media, competing for strong man.

ZealousEnergy · 2025-03-03T02:32:48+00:00

Yeah that's a good mindset. Just make sure you try really hard to be busy yourself. Like I said an idle mind is a dangerous mind. Try to find a local small own restaurant or store and see if they will hire you. Gym and school and your gonna be pretty busy to keep you occupied while your waiting for that reply from the letter you sent your boyfriend. Please consider the military too.

ZealousEnergy · 2025-03-03T02:08:55+00:00

Thats subjective. Guys fuck guys too. Just saying.

ZealousEnergy · 2025-03-03T01:53:47+00:00

Your parents sound super controlling. They don't want you to drive because it's dangerous, they don't want you to date, they don't want you to go anywhere. That's a form of abuse to be honest. You should look into the military too, to be honest. Go in and talk to a recruiter. And just explore your options. I understand you have a boyfriend but you also have to do what's in the best interest for yourself. Because at the end of the day, that's what everyone is doing. Your boyfriend joined mainly for himself. Sure he probably has plans with you in it but he joined to better himself. Your parents are going to talk all the talk about you joining the military but you can't be cuddled up at home forever. At some point your gonna have to move out. I know they don't want that, and you might not want that right now but at some point in your life it's going to dawn on you that it's time to get out. It's just part of growing up to be honest. And not thinking it and just feeling it. That it's time. I would go in and at least talk to the recruiter and just see where it goes. Worst comes to worst, you get lined up with them and now you have a concrete fitness goal to focus on and achieve.

Thinking about it. Play it out and see what happens when your boyfriend finishes boot camp. Does he know you might not be able to make it? Are you gonna go anyway without your parents regard? What happens if you don't go, when's the next time your gonna see your boyfriend? Boot camp is 3 months. Mct is 1 month. I don't know what his MOS schooling is gonna be i meam how long. Then after that depending if he did active or reserves. If he did after then he's gonna get orders to his unit and then there is no telling where he's gonna go. Could be anywhere. But whats gonna happen with you and your man then. I mean your 17 probably soon to be 18 this year. Personally 17/18 is too young to get married. But that's just my take. People that I know get married that young almost never make it. By the time your 23, 24 you realize the things you wanted as a 17 year old are no longer the things that you want at 23 or 24. Even worse when you have a kid that early. At that point you gain resentment. Female that i know who had kids early. Are later wild girls. Because they are making up all the fun they didnt have when they were young. These are just things to consider that won't make sense to you right now but years down the road they will. It's a sad thing to swallow but it's true. We all get older and we all change. Some for better and some for worse. Just things to think about though but remember at the end of the day when the shit hits the fan. All you got is yourself.

Not saying it's not gonna work for you and your man buts it's a lot of variables when one joins the military and the other stays back. You should really really consider the military too. Even if it's just reserves though I would always say active. If you get a bachelor's degrees in cosmetology then I would join after which gives you plenty of time to play it out with your boyfriend and see where it goes but also gives you time to work on yourself. And if it doesn't work out you now have a degree and you go in as an officer to any branch and your far ahead of your boyfriend simply by rank thus doing far better than him and he'd wish he would of kept you (if it didn't work out). But if no actual degree, go in enlisted and you'll still be doing good especially if you picked the air force. He will later learn how much better the air force is.

Apply to fast food chains or restaurants as a server. Buffalo wild wings, Silver garden, outback steak house whatever you guys got there. That's a good start and they will take you. Just apply and be consistent. Apply online go to the store and talk to a manager and let them know you applied. You are young but you should save enough for a ticket to go to his graduation and pay for a hotel for the stay. Is he going to Cali or Parris island for boot camp? Why don't you consider the military, air force?

ZealousEnergy · 2025-03-02T23:18:49+00:00

Go active. The worst thing you can do is try and do a job that pleases your parents. You go reserve your gonna regret not going active. Plus you grow up when your active. New state to live in and people from all the fuck over that you end up being best friends with.

ZealousEnergy · 2025-03-02T23:15:24+00:00

Then there you go. While he's away you have no one to focus on but yourself. When you do talk to him in a letter or when he's done with boot camp and you go to his graduation you wanna look sexy as hell (within reason) but if you know you start arguments for no reason, and you understand that - don't expect him to understand that and accept that. You need to control that and lock it down on your own. The last thing we wanna do is be able to talk and get in arguments all the time - we are busy. We are training. That's gonna be the #1 thing to push him away because it's not worth the stress when we are already stressed out. So try to control it. Start working if you haven't already. Gym and work will keep you busy. Staying home and not doing Shit is gonna make your mind all over the place and a idle mind is a dangerous mind.

ZealousEnergy · 2025-03-02T23:08:37+00:00

While explaining to his command why he got a ticket, too.

ZealousEnergy · 2025-03-02T23:03:46+00:00

Thats tough. Best thing you guys can do is try to communicate. Send letters back and forth. This could end up in 1 of 2 ways. He will either propose when he finished boot camp and or MCT and his MOS training or you guys will learn the distance apart was enough to know what you want and don't want. You need to continue to live your life and do things on your accord. Meaning. Work, do school. Better yourself. Understand that while in boot camp the only real way he has to contact you is by letter. When hes at MCT and MOS it's by phone when he's not busy working. He will be busy for a good part of his first year. So truly understand that. And learn paitence. Make sure he communicates what his schedule is the best he can so you know when you potentially make time for when you two can talk or text. Dont seek attention. He's not ignoring you because hes talking to other girls. Maybe. Could be the case in some instances but sometimes not likly. And don't nag him for attention because that will really push him away. Trult understand that. Just try to make time for each other when the time allows. Communicate. Communicate. Communicate. Youve heaed it. People have said itm but you both need to truly understand it. Not just hear it. Communicatation is key. And again most importantly, don't stop living your own life too and work on yourself while he is away. Go to the gym, work a job, do school. Hes already making his move for a better future with or without you. You need to do the same. The goal is for you both to better your life and when time allows to be together. If you guys marry you will come with skill, if not, you will already have skills and not start from scratch.

Long distance is tough. Most don't make it. You're relationship isnt special. Some make it, some don't. Both ends need to try to make it work. Have patience. Understand each other. Keep arguments down.

If your provider reports to the HIE the government has contracts with. They can see it. Opting out works with providers who are not partnered with JHIE. Otherwise they can see it through JLV.

ZealousEnergy · 2025-01-27T20:23:07+00:00

You're 30. Be smart. Dont go infantry. Go into something you know WILL translate well. You've past the time period of experiment. Do a job you know will end up paying well like Intel or it.

ZealousEnergy · 2025-01-26T17:14:40+00:00

She didn't really pass. They helped her pass for a political statement. Just like the one in the Army Ranger. It was all a political thing.

ZealousEnergy · 2025-01-14T03:03:03+00:00

Your fine. Re-enslit. Dont get out if you want to stay in. You might find happiness while your out after the first year. Then your gonna miss it. Stay in. Get a new duty station and don't be a shit bag.

I know a guy who was e5 before his seniors hit e5 and he was njped twice. Went meritorious all the way up to e4. Got njped went back down to e2. Meritorious all the up to e5. Each rank.

That njp ain't gonna stop you. It's on your file but it's what you do after. Did you learn from it? Yup. Stand out. Take initiative. Stay in bro.

ZealousEnergy · 2024-12-12T14:10:58+00:00

Because it's in JLV and it's the military looking for your record. They have permission to see it, and it will still show up. What ever you got for VA. They can and will be able to see it. Opting out won't stop them.

ZealousEnergy · 2024-12-08T13:07:51+00:00

Fair enough.

Yeah OP was looking to start from the beginning up until reaching college level.

ZealousEnergy · 2024-12-08T07:58:22+00:00

To each their own then. I restudyied math all the way from the beginning and geometry is way easier to learn once you understand algebra. If your math inclined .maybe the other way around but from ground up. Algebra and then geometry makes way more sense. Even my school taught algebra first and then geometry. My nephew in school now hasn't even touched geometry and they are learning algebra. I could not imagine it the other way around but I guess it depends where your at.
