Ina Military

Discussion in 'Pandora's Box' started by Dizzy, Mar 29, 2023.

  1. Do You Think It Right That When I Was 18 I Try To Go Ina American Miltary An They Say No I Cant BC All My Disabilities Would Not Help Them. I Always Wanted To Be Ina Marines But I Never Could. Do They Do That To Everyone. My Husband Say He Glad I Didn't Go In Tho BC Then I Wouldnt Be A Mom Or Wife An He Say I'm To Soft To Join But If I Did I Woulda Been A Different Woman Then I Am Now.I Love America Tho Even Tho It Not My Home Country.

  2. There are a shitload of civilian contractors in & around gov't military bases & around the world. A shame they couldn't find a spot for you in a tech position.

  3. What Do You Mean Civilian Contractors? Ya I Always Wanna Go In There But I Honestly Probably Would Fail Tho BC I Know My Disabilities Make Me Slower In My Mind But Im Not Stupid Tho Like Everybody Assumes.

  4. Don't feel to bad as even flat feet would have made you ineligible for service. With your patriotic love you should be able to volunteer a few hours of your time at something you enjoy. Most all the people pushing wheelchairs around the buildings at the Veterans Hospitals are non serving people that just want to help. I've talked to many of them as I use the system for my own medical care being former military. Really an inspiring group of people that devote their own time to making life a bit easier for the really disabled veterans who could use a hand. Some volunteer just a couple of hours a week and others are there nearly all day every day so very flexible hours.
    Other programs try to get regular meals to Vets. Lots of opportunities I'll bet.

  9. IF You joined and went into boot camp and for whatever reason you couldn't complete boot camp it you will get kicked out the service with a dishonorable discharge that will be on your record for life ......
    Who ever said no you can't join probably did you a giant favor.
    The guys I know that washed out of boot camp, Ya they had major problems.
    What ever boot camp was doing to them it was creating mental problems for them.
    If you mess up the drill sergeant punishes the rest of the company.
    Then you have 80 people on your ass and they are smoking mad and they will tune you up. that's when people fall apart. Blankets parties are real deal, and it really messes people up. I seen that once ,,The guy mooed in his sleep, lol he sounded just like cow LOL but he was load enough at night in his sleep he would wake everyone up in the company
    I don't know you, but what you have written you seem like a nice lady.
    You have expressed a few things you have deal with. I don't think you would do well in service.
    Not trying to be offensive, but the military is not for everyone.
    I hated the US Navy, Could not wait to get out.

    Thanks for loving America ... It really is a great nation if you can get past all the political BS

    And what century was that? ;) No offense but OBVIOUSLY she aint gonna do boot camp. People with disabilities can do much more than you might think. Keep doing what you already are Dizz, just do it with a bigger audience. A veterans suicide hotline??? A kind word to an aged homebound person with no outside contact??? You don't have to do alot for some people to make them feel alot better.

  12. Very sorry you suffered a brain injury ...
    The armed services can be super demanding.
    This is not negative comment, The recruiter that rejected your application to join the armed services I think he was doing you good,
    In no way am I trying be disrespectful to you .....................................
    Navy Air force Marines and Army you are require to complete boot camp training, I believe the Coast Guard
    goes to the Navy's boot camp.
    The VA is always using volunteers.. and wow some really make veterans day .
    You should try ..
    We had one lady who rolled the veterans to and back from surgery, she acted insane, At the same time we both knew not everyone survives,,, could of been my last wheel chair ride . anyway she was great,, she wasn;t crazy just acted that way get the veterans head out the major operation they getting ready to go through.
    I think your great lady, and hands down I am sure you would make great volunteer.
    I try to make some ones day every time i leave the house
