Medical DQ:
I'm seriously embarrassed and ashamed about this stuff. Every day, I wake up regretting my inability to serve in the Armed Forces. As you can imagine, there's no way in hell I could be a LEO, FF, EMT, Security, etc. The TSA won't even take me as a baggage screener, because of the eye thing. Same with the various private security companies. I can't even be a damn "Mall Ninja". I have a military/FF/EMT family background, and I am just not very good at anything in the civilian world. In high school, I enjoyed Tech Ed (took every Tech Ed class that was available) and I enjoyed Army JROTC. My negative experiences with teachers and other students, though, has filled me with a desire to avoid school. I'm horrible at Math (I'm stuck at about a 7th grade level), great at reading and languages (I'm at a college graduate level) and on the good end of average when it comes to History and related subjects. I'm average when it comes to the Sciences. There's only two jobs I ever had that I liked: the first was working as a summer civilian hire with a Coast Guard MWR organization. The second was a job I had last December working for UPS as a "Driver Helper" during the Christmas season. I enjoy shooting, and I am about an average shot. I taught myself how to shoot left-handed with long guns. When I shoot, the bullets go where I put them, though I seldom get what you'd call nice tight little groups. I would call myself a minute of man at 100 yards, standing offhand with a rifle kind of guy. I am about a 5-8 MOA shooter. I'm not, nor will I ever be a serious target shooter. I can shoot pistols just fine with either hand; using my right hand and left eye doesn't screw up my natural point of aim enough to matter for "practical" purposes. Ok, I better stop this before I make y'all worry (or just annoy the hell out of ARFCOM). |

Your poll doesn't have the Ranger-Delta-SEAL option, so I couldn't vote.

Any way you could work yourself into a dispatch job? (take the EMS/FF programs without the physical parts) |

Im 5'9" about 140ish, im going into the military asap (marines or army still cant decide). I cant do shit right now because im stuck with lyme disease have heart palpitations out the ying yang and lost weight, if/when i get my health back to normal ($5000 worth of antibiotics later) i will be bulking back up another 10-20 pounds or so and getting some tatoo's zapped off and going into service. Now if obama gets in office and has our soldiers kicking in civilians doors and ransacking their houses for guns i cant say that i would be joining...sadly.

I looked into that back in 2002. They want two working eyes there as well. |

medic 91a/b and cannoneer 13b. Also went to the non mos 2 week NBC school. But when I was doing SWAT I did actually go to FBI sniper school. But that 1)was .mil 2)was a looong time ago and C) Did not cover a lot of field work like most do now.

Well our motto was 'one shot, one kill' but we were shooting at tanks you see.
Other than that I always felt that anything worth shooting once was worth shooting again, which is why I liked my MG's. yak 11H |

They wouldn't let me be in the Army.....
..I knew who both my parents were. |
|
The only trend I see is we are turning into socialists and nanny state'rs |

95B (now 31A) Military Police Currently 5-9, 200 lbs. We were the ones in the gun-jeeps, ( Yep, back then a Hummer meant something totally different than it does today ) that rode shotgun for the convoy of Obama's uncle's Red Army Unit, that liberated Auschwitz. |

If his avatar is any indication (and he's not merely a wanna-be himself) he's some kind of Marine Aircrew. |

6' 210 here.
105mm sniper. There weren't many of us. I've said too much already. ETA: Only 6' because I had them chop five inches out of my legs so that I might be more comfortable inside the tank. Damn it...I'm talking again. |
|
True, but the disqualification was due to the fact they were Brother and Sister. |
|

Heh....
15G Aircraft Structural Repair... When you absolutely, positively need to waste $2,000 in aircraft grade aluminum on a shelf for the CO's office... Accept NO substitutes.... |

I was all three, and now I fly Raptors on the weekends. I've also been tapped to test fly the upcoming version of the Predator (you didn't really believe those are 'bots, did you? No no, there's a guy crammed inside).

6'2" 220LBS I was never in the Army, but I have been in the .mil for 8 years now.
|

My job in the Army is part-time janitor, part-time infantryman.

I really am dead-on 6' 185lbs. I am very proud of the fact that I have been within ten pounds of my post-boot camp weight ever since I graduated fifteen years ago.
USMC engineer. |

I was a tank mechanic/recovery person.
Never saw that as a point of shame and never will. |
|
Many years ago I was an 0311. Back when we wore camouflaged loin cloths and our "squad automatic weapon" was the guy who could throw 10 spears really fast. We fought against Neanderthal Man. And won.
Now I'm a disgusting fat-body, and I bore anyone who will listen with tales of drunken leave in Pattaya Beach and Olongapo. Like the time I hooked up with these two Thai girls at the cobra/mongoose show, one was long and lean and the other was technically a midget but had the most perfectly proportioned bod you've ever seen.... |
|
I was a steely eyed sniper of gremlins in F-15 avionics and its maintenance equipment.
I was only 75 inches tall and 190 pounds, however. |
|
My secret: I'm the spetsnaz hatchet attack guy.
In reality, 6-2 160#, no military experience whatsoever. |
|
I wasn't in the Army...I was in the Marine Reserves. I have no combat experience, and I am 5'10", and around 195 lbs. I guess that makes me an anomaly.
