MEPS falsifying documents?
Okay, so, I enlisted in the Army Reserve and, without going into detail, was discharged from BCT with a knee injury. Well, i was recently diagnosed anemic which explains my low blood pressure, etc. When I went through MEPS, after multiple tries, they still could not pick up my blood pressure. (This was BEFORE I knew that I was anemic). The doctor at MEPS that was doing my paperwork gave up and said "I'm just going to mark it as normal." without an accurate reading, isnt that falsifying government documents? And can we currently contact anyone/do anything about it? Im just curious.
Military Human Intelligence security clearance question; Do I have a chance?
35F is Intel Analyst. 35M is HUMINT Collector. Make sure you pick the right one! Anyways, 35M initially just gets a SECRET clearance which is about as hard as falling off a log. Just a few simple credit & criminal background checks. The things you mentioned won't pop up. Good luck and be sure to go to Tuscon when you're at Huachuca.
Why does the National Guard get treated different?
to address anyone who is ridiculing my choice of service: National Guard allows me to keep my parental rights as a single mom. At the time, when I asked other recruiters, I would have to completely sign off my rights to a guardian, even for BCT then go through the court system to get my rights re-instated. Guard allowed me to sign a guardianship paper that allowed someone to take care of my child without losing my rights. We have to work harder at PT because we're not up with the company at 0400 every morn running. NCO's often work off the payrole when planning the drill, and for any other meetings that come up. I worked my *** off to get where I am, and because people 'lose' paperwork, I haven't been promoted. ya, we get notice about leaving for duty when a natural disaster strikes state-side: 24 hours of notice to get gear packed, ready, and get going to wherever the unit is. No matter if we're in that particular state or not. AD gets at least 6 months notice.
Will I realistically pass basic training for US Army?
I'm 18 years old and a female. Physically I'm not that out of shape but I'm very petite. I can't carry that much weight or do many push ups. Atleast not now, and my ship date is in a month. I read that if you can't pass BT you can't reenlist. I took the pre PT test and I failed. It was technically a gut check so it wasn't on document, but I was only able to do 6 push ups. I was good on my sit ups and I did okay on my run. I can do a mile with a time of 9:15 which I know isn't the best but I've been improving since then. I really want to join the military but with the state I'm at physically, I don't want to ruin my chances by failing BT. Any comments would be helpful. I only weigh 112 btw. So I already know weight wise, it'll be difficult.
