Joining the Army ..

[SargeBanner]

Quick question.

As a diabetic, would i be able to join the Army ?

Yes or No ? (and maybe a lil' explanation ?)

Sarge

[Gunwitch]

No.
Too much of a liability i'm afraid, thats what they'll say

[Sadist_Cain]

Yes you can. Do we win shortest thread competition?:goat:

[SargeBanner]

hehe Cain.

I was just wondering :)

'Cos for some god almighty reason i want to join :o

Sarge

[Gunwitch]

Nope you can't. You can't have someone who has to regularly shoot up (pardon the pun and no offence meant) suddenly deciding they need to inject insulin during a battle, or if they forget they become a liability to their mates.
Same as people who suffer epilepsy.

Mother lied! bitch :mad: few years in the army herself and a dad with diabetes youd think shed get it right

You could play Project Reality!!

Next best thing !!


:D

If the symptoms start during your time then i think you cna stay in but in a non combative post. Admin staff are non combatants. If you walk into your ACO and say "I have diabetes" then the Staff Sarge will ask you to turn around.

That is as far as i know.
