I would have thought 82nd airborne would be much more regimented with the duties. I was in an army medical unit. I was required to have CQ, duty driver and barracks maintenance on a regular scheduled basis. You really lucked out for sure.

I’m late to the party because KZitem recommended this video today. In 2012, when I was a Bn XO in an AIT unit, we talked about the Army changing the open bay barracks to a two man “college” dorm room, and renovations began. The Drill Sergeants were replaced with Cadre who basically acted like a squad leader/platoon sergeant to prepare the AIT recruits for their permanent duty station. When I was enlisted, AIT barracks were opened bay with your entire platoon; and the Drill Sergeants stayed nearby in rotation. My permanent duty stations were all 3 man rooms with your locker, bunk, desk, and one bathroom. Boy!!! Times have changed, and Soldiers are really spoiled. I know my grandfathers had a rougher time in the Army than me; so that’s the trend. The Army gets more relaxed every generation. Soon, we’ll be like the French Army.

I was at Bragg in the early 90’s. Sure we had a CQ but……it was a party on the weekends and it was nothing to walk in the open bay showers and shower on Saturday and Sunday mornings with an odd collection of college girls from Raleigh and strippers. 😂

I wanted to serve in the Army for the past 5 years. RAIDER commander in JROTC, high ASVAB, perfect PT score. Was going to be a Cav. Scout but I was just permanently medically disqualified for a peanut allergy. I’d honestly do anything to be able to serve. But regardless of all that, I’d like to thank you for all the helpful and useful information you have provided me with through your videos the past few years, even if I never get to apply it. Keep doing what you’re doing, the videos you make help so many people prep for BCT and more.

Go to an allergist and do a food challenge. if you can eat peanuts without having to use an epi pen, you can get a waiver. but the reason you’re barred is because you might be in a situation where the only food source you have is something you’re allergic to.
@rexcristallospada6496
4 жыл бұрын
Resonant Reads thanks for the suggestion. But I fully know the situation I’m in. I went to my allergist and had my test done and was still allergic to peanuts (not peanut oil though which is what they cook with at BCT) I could still apply for my waiver being that peanut oil is a bigger concern but it’s HIGHLY likely of getting declined.

I am going to tell him on Tuesday when I go back with my paperwork but I'm afraid I've really screwed up here and they won't take me...any advice on how to proceed or what to expect?

AngeloIppis42 Ask your recruiter if they find out about expunged records. If he asks what, say something minor that would get you automatically DQd. Recruiters are trying to help you out with shipping you out. They gotta hit their numbers, so they’ll do their best to get you in green light territory. Background checks are done, and expunged records don’t always mean police/military checks won’t find then. Check with your recruiter without giving all the details
