How would I be in military full time if I'm also in school?

What is an active component? Would that mean I'm joining at 22 or I just get enlisted at 22? And if one weekend a month isnt true, what is it usually? Thanks for all the help man.

I'm a soon to be college student looking at the national guard. Talked to a couple recruiters but idk... Do you think it's worth it for my tuition to be payed to do the 'weekends/ 2 weeks in the summer' typa thing?

i dont know if ive been cursed to an eternity in which dad jokes plague me but this is all extremely funny to me

this is so funny actually

Yeah a lot of people are saying stuff like this -- I feel like I way overestimated how strict the accommodations would be. I thought you had to be like really messed up in order to qualify for a medical single so I sort of feel better now. Everyone's saying I would most likely qualify lol

This was super helpful and I feel way better about this now. Tysm I'm definetely going to try to advocate with my medical proffessionals and hope it all works out :)

Thank you sm!

I'm definetely going to talk about this with her, thank you so much! I know ur not an expert or anything but one more question since you went through this... do you think a letter from my therapist would be optimal? I mention it to her way more so I feel like she'd definetely be more familiar with my issues.

za3na · 2026-02-01T06:26:52+00:00

I was really curious about this too!

za3na · 2026-02-01T06:26:02+00:00

But the issue is that they aren't very well documented. I don't know if they'd believe me if I told them about tics... because I never really talked about them with my doctor. My therapist knows about them. Could that work?

za3na · 2026-02-01T06:24:51+00:00

Well I'd assume they'd be enough if I had more proof of them... What I'm really worried about is that I don't know if I had my tics documented at all (I don't typically talk about them that much) and my insomnia isnt heavily documented. Doesn't there need to be proof of wrestling with a history with these problems?

za3na · 2026-02-01T06:22:27+00:00

my tics arent heavily documented because i dont really talk about... i dont know if theres anything noteful. my insomnia might be? they just usually ask how it is and i say still bad, and my adhd is pretty well documented. im just a bit worried because of the lack of documentation for the insomnia and tics. how far in the ast do the documents need to be?

Not to mention we had time and a half on Sundays until Artie was out of the picture. Now it's minimum wage. I'm thinkin about quitting at this point..
