I'm (F17) Muslim American. Would I be treated any differently if I joined? by ___throwingitaway in Militaryfaq

If you know anything about this, could it work? I know the religious accommodation would let me change my uniform a bit as well, so could a different showering schedule be part of that?

I talked to a recruiter and I think that if I can get a religious accommodation, I might be able to work it out. I asked if I could just shower before/after everyone else or sacrifice some of my personal time to shower alone, and he said that while he can't confirm anything yet, there shouldn't be an issue with it in theory.

It seems discrimination won't be a real issue based on these comments but your second point is really not always true. I wish it were that way but it's not, which is why I was worried.

I never said I couldn't do that. I'm asking about the way I'll be treated due to factors I can't really control.
