Asthma will get you rejected

2020-01-09 13:59:15 UTC  

As it should

2020-01-09 13:59:19 UTC  

If you cant run you cant pass the test

2020-01-09 13:59:20 UTC  

and first sunday of every month we went to the big range to shoot some 308's

2020-01-09 13:59:23 UTC  

Must be clear for 2 years

2020-01-09 13:59:31 UTC  

heh ... Latvia (where I live) has basically no army to speak of - because the only real threat we have is Russia and their standing army is about the same size as my country's population .... you might see the inherit problem

2020-01-09 13:59:37 UTC  

Any diagnosis of asthma

2020-01-09 13:59:46 UTC  

Nope that is a lie

2020-01-09 13:59:48 UTC  

One of the people I know never needed an inhaler

2020-01-09 13:59:51 UTC  

Got rejected.

2020-01-09 13:59:59 UTC  

If you don't need the inhaler for 2 years you can enter

2020-01-09 14:00:03 UTC  

You can deal with asthma though

2020-01-09 14:00:15 UTC  

Shannon Briggs professional boxer had asthma

2020-01-09 14:00:30 UTC  

Nah pep you cant, the army will not take those who require it, because what if you have an attack in a fire fight for example

2020-01-09 14:00:31 UTC  

Doesn’t always have to be automatic disqualified

2020-01-09 14:00:42 UTC  

Eh fair enough

2020-01-09 14:00:44 UTC  

The army is going to have less and less people to recruit from just because of the reality that medical issues aren't something you can allow in the military

2020-01-09 14:01:23 UTC  

Imagine if you get cut off from supplies for a while or if you have a chronic issue

2020-01-09 14:01:27 UTC  

The thing is though once you get in if you present with any of these the army will be hesitant to let you go

2020-01-09 14:01:39 UTC  

Because 1) you've already proven your worth usually, 2) payouts

2020-01-09 14:01:59 UTC  

I know blokes that were literally deaf, army gave them hearing aids and said "crack on"

2020-01-09 14:02:06 UTC  

lol

2020-01-09 14:02:22 UTC  

Yeah but if you're not in they're not going to take on liabilities like that

2020-01-09 14:02:28 UTC  

Once your in they want their pound of flesh <:shrug:349342983763656705>

2020-01-09 14:02:47 UTC  

Even though I whinge still the best job I ever done and best paid all in all

2020-01-09 14:03:06 UTC  

If your a working class man its definitely the best opportunity

2020-01-09 14:03:36 UTC  

If you're not already diagnosed with something.

2020-01-09 14:05:32 UTC

2020-01-09 14:07:00 UTC

2020-01-09 14:07:33 UTC
