<2022-06-16T16:59:58.000Z> Nordy2: im 29 with no hopeshould i join
<2022-06-16T17:09:27.000Z> MaleGoddess: Personally, I wouldn't join the Army. Coast Guard.But advancement in rank is slow in the CG, unless you're fine with food service. 
<2022-06-16T17:10:05.000Z> Nordy2: Dude i have wasted my life
<2022-06-16T17:10:56.000Z> Nordy2: U mentioned tweaking in a post. Im a former iv heroin user currently on a long term subutex plan
<2022-06-16T17:11:17.000Z> MaleGoddess: Any branch would get you a leg up in life. 
<2022-06-16T17:11:53.000Z> Nordy2: Suicide isnt as simple as people make it seem unless its a snap judgement or the means are on hand
<2022-06-16T17:11:56.000Z> MaleGoddess: Are you on any prescription meds or have been in the past 7 years? 
<2022-06-16T17:12:01.000Z> Nordy2: Yea
<2022-06-16T17:12:31.000Z> Nordy2: Im on subutex and klonopin and gabapentin
<2022-06-16T17:13:09.000Z> Nordy2: My real wish is a comfy detox and job after
<2022-06-16T17:13:32.000Z> Nordy2: Reality is gonna be worse
<2022-06-16T17:14:16.000Z> Nordy2: Like if they could just hospitalize me for a month to detox first
<2022-06-16T17:14:33.000Z> Nordy2: 😓
<2022-06-16T17:16:38.000Z> Nordy2: Its really difficult to manage every spinning plate life tosses but the rest fall if one does. I have a job
<2022-06-16T17:16:54.000Z> Nordy2: Been employed since 2012
<2022-06-16T17:17:13.000Z> Nordy2: No employment gap despite addiction 
<2022-06-16T17:19:50.000Z> MaleGoddess: I'm asking because there's a national pharmaceutical database that the military entrance station has access to. Not all pharmacies report to the database, but most do. 
<2022-06-16T17:22:30.000Z> MaleGoddess: Best bet would be to talk to a recruiter. I wouldn't lie about the pharmaceutical stuff. If it shows up, they'll need medical records for any type of waiver, if they're even offering waivers. 
<2022-06-16T17:22:59.000Z> MaleGoddess: If there's anything mentioning suicide, I know that's an automatic no
<2022-06-16T17:25:12.000Z> Nordy2: Theres nothing about suicide so ill take the call on suggesting it not be brought up again
<2022-06-16T17:25:26.000Z> Nordy2: But absolutely addiction 
<2022-06-16T17:26:12.000Z> Nordy2: 2 major chest surgeries at 16 and 19- the nuss procedure- steel bar to fix caved in chest
<2022-06-16T17:27:32.000Z> Nordy2: Idk im probably too zonked out
<2022-06-16T17:27:48.000Z> Nordy2: Itd be nice to have been fit to serve though
<2022-06-16T17:28:19.000Z> Nordy2: Now i can only work for shit companies and nothing to look forward to
<2022-06-16T17:40:30.000Z> MaleGoddess: Surgeries will fuck you. If you have big scars, the Dr at MEPS can disqualify you.Depends on the Dr, and recruiter. 
<2022-06-16T17:41:29.000Z> Nordy2: I have 2 big scars below each armpit lol
<2022-06-16T17:43:25.000Z> MaleGoddess: I was a highly unethical recruiter, so if there was a way I'd have found it.Look into GENESIS, that's the pharmaceutical database. Try to find out if your pharmacy reports to it. 
<2022-06-16T17:44:49.000Z> MaleGoddess: If you find out it does not, shit, I'd say you'd never been to a Dr for anything your entire life. Got those scars from a clothes line. 
<2022-06-16T17:45:29.000Z> MaleGoddess: Be more mindful of the stuff from the last 7 years though. 
<2022-06-16T17:50:43.000Z> Nordy2: Im not good enough at opsec to position myself like that.. 
<2022-06-16T17:51:11.000Z> Nordy2: Id imagine most aren't- and i go to a major pharmacy
<2022-06-16T17:52:16.000Z> Nordy2: You kinda jumped over a point ( love that youre actually responding! So many tight asses around here has really blackpilled me )
<2022-06-16T17:52:34.000Z> Nordy2: Surgeries would disaualify?
<2022-06-16T17:52:49.000Z> Nordy2: Disqualify?*
<2022-06-16T17:53:58.000Z> Nordy2: I have a very physical job atm and can move. Hurts but everyone else does
<2022-06-16T17:53:59.000Z> MaleGoddess: The only medical records they have access to, that I am aware of, is the pharmaceutical stuff from the last 7 years. So if it's older than 7 years, hide it. And for the pharmaceutical records they have access to, they'll want doctors records. That's IFF a waiver is possible. 
<2022-06-16T17:56:04.000Z> Nordy2: I wouldnt want to hide my past to secure my future- know what i mean? Tragically open if lying is that easy
<2022-06-16T18:41:33.000Z> Nordy2: yes i thought i said i was taking meds lol- subutex, klonopin, gabapentin 
<2022-06-16T18:41:52.000Z> Nordy2: to even start bootcamp and kick meds id need time to detox
<2022-06-16T18:41:59.000Z> Nordy2: but hypothetically 
<2022-06-16T18:42:59.000Z> Nordy2: if i was able to stay on meds, and this wasnt an issue, my god id be in the recruiter tomorrow (assuming the surgery shit and other shit doesnt disqualify )
<2022-06-16T18:43:13.000Z> Nordy2: unfortunate 
<2022-06-16T18:44:07.000Z> Nordy2: i know this sounds extremely snobbish but I've always thought id have an odd role in the military, as an odd person
<2022-06-16T18:44:11.000Z> Nordy2: spy etc
<2022-06-16T18:44:42.000Z> Nordy2: something cerebral 
<2022-06-16T18:44:52.000Z> Nordy2: translating 4chan
<2022-06-16T18:45:50.000Z> Nordy2: there are not really places for people like me
<2022-06-16T18:46:06.000Z> Nordy2: i did the heroin etc
<2022-06-16T18:48:34.000Z> Nordy2: ive been on prescribed buprenorphine for like fucking 9 years- and used to buy it on the street before. on the street meaning a friend. 20$ a pill back then. so id do a quarter a day on average. now a doctor has me on two pills a day. 8x one quarter 
<2022-06-16T18:49:31.000Z> Nordy2: life sucks man
<2022-06-16T18:49:50.000Z> Nordy2: no need to stress the convo much more
<2022-06-16T18:50:02.000Z> Nordy2: when i see my life typed like that
<2022-06-16T18:50:14.000Z> Nordy2: the idea of joining the military and being wanted is a joke
