I really wanna join the military but i doubt if they wold accept me since i am an insulin dependent. I was rejected to work in a cruise ship because of that, i'm afraid the military would reject me too :(

Check the local hospitals and community colleges- cause you don't have to have a college degree to get your EMT license.
thanks for the advice sweet jull :) i'll do that, im giving my self a year to get there, kinda hard though but im doing my best to reach my dreams :) i admire you, i always wanted to be in the team :) God bless <3
:( any job in the military would be great. i am a chef by profession, would that be acceptable if i apply as a kitchen staff?

any ob fro the military would be great, i can be in the office or at the kitchen, i am a chef by profession, would that be acceptable?
i guess its really not for me :) but i'm glad i have met you all here.

Permalink Reply by Todd Foster on April 12, 2012 at 2:22pm How much is the pump there? i want that so bad too, it would be a big help when im at work. i work 10hours shift and a 30 mins break, it really bothers me when i have to stop working to inject
Permalink Reply by juliannaergrl on April 13, 2012 at 2:13pm I start my pump next week and wonder the same thing!!! I hate MDI's while I am working it gets frustrating when I get a call between injection and eating.. and with the "rules" of EMS, that's just about every time of course. lol
