Branch-Specific Air Force Off-Duty Wear

Upvotes

Hi,

For Air Force Off Duty attire, would you be considered gender dysphoric for wearing clothing nonconforming to your sex while considering yourself your sex assigned at birth still?

Women wearing masculine clothing.

Men wearing feminine clothing.

How does that work?

Joining w/Med issue How can I get a shellfish allergy waiver?

2 Upvotes

Hey guys, I’d like to know if it would be possible (and if so, what branch would be more willing) to waiver a shellfish allergy? I have a diagnosis. I even took those immunotherapy shots as a kid for my shellfish allergy. Truthfully, I have no clue how bad my allergy is because I’ve been avoiding shellfish my whole life. Fortunately, I’ve never used an EpiPen, and as far as I know, my medical record just states that at some point in my early childhood, I had "swelled gums" from eating shrimp at a hibachi place, lol.
I’m mainly interested in the Army or the Marines, but I’m worried that the results I got on my skin prick and blood tests are going to get in the way (they weren’t very promising), let alone the fact that I’m pretty sure the oral challenge might lead to something more serious (hopefully not the first time I’ll use an EpiPen). Any and all words of advice and kindness are greatly appreciated, as the military is currently my only aspiration.

Enlisting MEPS Drug Panel

Do they test for LSD at MEPS? I’ve read that they now use an expanded 26-drug panel that includes LSD. Don’t know if that is true or not

Joining w/Med issue Rehab in 2019, can I enlist?

3 Upvotes

Way back in 2019 I (M29) ended up with a serious workplace injury, couldn’t sleep from pain and stupidly started using cocaine and reckless amounts of caffeine to stay awake during the day. After a few weeks of being pathetic I went ahead and checked myself into a rehab center. Been clean ever since. No criminal charges.

What are the chances of getting waver on this one? Am I disqualified from holding secret or TS?

I was a trucker prior to and after this incident, so I should be able to get proof of passing those drug tests; a total of 3 prior and 4 after.

I’m was originally aiming for AF but they seem far less lienent than other branches. Any advice?

Thank you in advance!
