When I once tried to sign up/consxcript, I lost all hope at the doctor who gave me what I was positive was the lowest option. So when the final test (bicycle) came I was depressed. Just because I had possibly had a slipped disc once, I was unfit for amythimg but cooking and such (nothing wrong with that, but not for me back then)... well I gave up bicycling as soon as it got a little lactic build up.

Then I realized my horrible mistake when talking with the asigner: I could have gotten a fighting position, if nu bicycle test wasn't so bad. I begged ans begged to get it over. But hi is only response - which I fully understand and agree with - was that a soldier should always do his,/her bsst. Impossible to argue against. But I scored far above max at strength and 7/9 intelligence which was rare.

Now I'm 15 years older so I suppose it's too late for everything but FFL, which has extreme demands and extreme discipline. Only 10-15 % get accepted. My chances are close to zero rto get in, and even closer to manage the training period of four months. My other problems are previous drug use. In most places, so probably definitely FFL, you need a clean record. I live in a EU country.... so perhaps they see it.

Is there any other alternative and what are requirements?

Just curous

Have the video. Was sent to me. Not sure it's authenticity.

Hi does anyone know a website that covers all military news? thank you.

• I do not support Hezbollah or any Iranian backed terror organization *

• I strongly condemn any act of aggression against innocent Israeli civilians*

Just gotta put that before people accuse me of being a Hezbollah supporter 🫨

Now back to the question at hand Could Hezbollahs “special forces” successfully invade Israel since they keep flirting with the idea

Hi i’m a 20 yr old female currently married and 5 months pregnant I want to join the military and become an LPN. I was wondering if it’d be easier to go to school first and then join as an LPN (and my baby will have been born by then) or to see if there’s anyway i can go to school through the military while pregnant. I guess with the latter my question is, is that a thing? Will they station me wherever? Do I work in the military while going to their school? And if so a combat position is definitely not for me so will I have to do bootcamp and go through the extremely hard physical stuff? would they even let me join pregnant? If I decided to go to school separately from the military would I still have to go through bootcamp? Nursing is hard as is and i’m aware, that type of situation i can handle the actual combat positions are not for me. after i have my baby and im licensed would I do 4 years to receive benefits and that’s it for that or is it much longer since its not a combat position? I’m not too sure how all of this goes and the website isn’t EXTREMELY helpful. Anything helps ! not sure if this matters but i’m currently out in NV not sure if that makes a difference 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hey - maybe this is better for a medical subreddit, but figured this may be a good place too.

Question for a historical issue I'm researching:

How likely is it that a single close-range (almost point blank) .38 caliber bullet to the abdomen, with no other injuries, would kill? And, in this historical case, kill quite quickly - within minutes. It seems to me that, for the shooter, that might be quite a 'lucky' shot, no?

I’m in a club at my school and the club advisor is the wife of a veteran. She takes a lot of pride in that and everyone knows how much it means to her. She does so much for all of us (went with 5 of us across the country to attend the club’s international conference and surprised us with many things while we were there) and we want to get her a gift to give at the end of year celebration in a few weeks. We’re going to do a few things, but one of the things we talked about was a custom dog tag that says “2023-24 (school/club name)”. We figured that this would be a way we could connect the military side of things with the club.

Could giving a custom dog tag be taken as disrespectful in any way? Obviously the information on ours has to do with the club and doesn’t have the info that a normal one would have, but I just wanted to get some opinions make sure it wouldn’t be considered disrespectful.

Can you arrest a Lt.General in the U.S. Army and send him to prison? Don’t they get reduced rank and pay and forced to retire instead? Has this ever happened before in U.S. history?

what would have happened if they did this in real life.letting a soldier almost get killied in an airstrike and carelessly responding to a call for help to cancel the airstrike that almost could have killed them ?

The officer, I think Lt. Colonel or Major, who was handing out medals yesterday for Biden appears to be Air Force and wearing jump wings. Maybe I got something wrong here, but in what context would an Air Force member be wearing jump wings? Change of service, pararescue?

I’ve googled, I’ve asked around, and I’ve called the Red Cross. Now I’m here.

Exhusband is active duty and remarried. I have full custody 4 kids, 3 minors (one is 18). He does pay child support but the kids and I are homeless right now. They are staying with his parents. A caseworker told me that the military has to help of the kids are minor dependents, and I likely won’t get on a housing voucher soon due to that fact.

I can’t seem to find anyone that knows and my ex husband isn’t giving out the info either, he just says he doesn’t know. He also isn’t interested in taking full custody of them.

Am I screwed or is there help?

I’m not a military expert so I’m wondering how bad would a military operation in rafah be? Would it rly be a slaughter or is everyone trying to villainize Israel ?

I'm kind of stuck right now and need advice. So I'm a very antiwar person and against many of the government specifically the CIAs tactics but ive always wanted to serve in the military. Now im older I also realize the benefits. I grew up with alcholic parents and developed little to no life skills because of it. I'm 16 and working two jobs while trying to keep my life together. I'm an all A student as of this year, but I also have a long time boyfriend. I plan on pursuing the military if I don't end up getting a scholarship because I've heard it helps people develop life skills and I have no money for college. One more thing is that I have ADHD, depression, anxiety, and PTSD and I was in a psych ward for a period around 3 years ago. I've heard that this can effect your military career as well. What would it look like if I did join? Would it be worth it? I'm also a female so I'm not sure if it makes much of a difference.
