If I enlist in the army as a 68W (Health Care Specialist, i.e, Medic) and I go through jump school, could I still try out for the RIP (Ranger Indoctrination Program) or would I have to be an 11B (Infantryman) and then jump school and then RIP?

If I enlist in the US Army as a 68W...?
Back in 1997, I was injured on the job.I was pushing on a roll of lumber that was on rollers.The rollers were frozen to the ground.I heard two loud pops in my back.I was down for weeks.I still have problems with my back and its 2009.I never went to see a doctor because I was young and dumb and the company I was working for swept it under the rug....Now, here's the thing, When my wife massages my lower back, it feels like I'm dislocated from the lower part of my back.I can't hardly walk the next day.My back tenses up really bad at other times and my legs absolutely kills me at night when I lie down, feels like someone cutting my legs off at the knees.There is times that my back doesn't hurt for a month and then BAM, I'm down in the back.If I can remember correctly, years and years ago, I had an MRI and the results were fine with my back.I was in a car wreck and the hospital checked me out, just in case.I'm thinking I may have slipped discs in my back, but wouldn't that have showed up on the MRI ? Should I wait until I go down in my back again and then go and get an MRI ? If so, that would be simple, just have my wife to give me a good lower back massage and I guarantee, I'll be down on my knees the next day.Can you give me some insight to this ? Thank you kindly for any and all answers.

Any Nurses, Physicians Assistants, Health Care Workers Out there tonight ?

Question for Health Care Workers, ( Lower Backpain )?

what is going on with this health care bill (i don't follow the news)?
This is a serious situation it's real and it happened Monday.I interviewed with a health care company for part time job as a nurse.I am highly trained professional with years of experience.The woman told me she had two more interviews and she would call me by today and let me know.My girlfriend works at this company, in the accounting office in which handles all the paperwork ect.for new hires, I did not receive the job and from " the horses mouth" I was only turned down because the woman in whom interviewed before me was, african-american?!? I do not understand as is :1.) I have more experienced 2.) I am a rn she is lpn 3.) pay rate is the same 4.) I am more trained in this particular department! I am not trying to be racist here..I feel I am the one being discriminated against! I have all my facts in order! Wth??????edit: I meant to put this in: My friend Kelly said her boss said: It was the " Affermative action" law????(sorry if it's spelled wrong ;) )SHE INTERVIEWED AFTER ME SORRY for any typos :)Ethan: I specialize in cancer patients please do not be so uneducated as to not read my question and answer with such an ignorant answer!

I was turned down on a job based on my race?
So i know everyone is having trouble with money especially this time of the year.I have been having trouble just getting gifts for my family and friends.And even had to re-gift some.How lame is that? Anyway my little sister is like the biggest pain in the world.She treats my dad like shitt and he does so much for us.He now has heart problems with all the stress and making sure that my sister and I are happy.Today my little sister was all mad because my dad told her that he had no money to get her the stupid PS3 she wants, she threw this huge fit saying i hate you and blah blah.She's 13 and acts like a 5 year old! Anyway i looked at my dad and he looks so sad.I mean it took everything for me not to go and slit her throat! Then he told me that we wouldn't have much of a christmas this year because we have no money.He said that we only have $35 in the bank.35!I couldn't care less if i didn't get anything for christmas, i just want my dad to be ok.His health and his once always happy self is slowly leaving.I'm really scared.He is the best person in the world and doesn't deserve any of this.I find myself praying that my sister dies.I know that's..terrible.But really she is the devil i swear.NO one likes her.I acually talked to my pastor and he said that i need to keep faith and trust god.But really im finding that hard to do.Im also getting lots of stomaches lately and think it's cause of stress.Like everytime i hear that girl complain about something my stomche like twists.I am a wreck.I go to my best friends house alot and her family treats me so well they know that i need to get out somethimes.They are amazing.But yeah, i just, need to know that God is putting us through this for something.Is God really going to help? thanks (:

Ima wreck.Christians please help?
Resents any involvement, caring, sharing of grandkids, updates on fathers' illness, etc.Treats his sister and her family basically the same.What is up with her? She says we're interferring with their marrriage if we spend time with father, call to check on him and his health (stroke/diabetic issues).

Alright Im 15.People have clearly not read the healthcare bill and they are all beatin the hell out of each other about it.First of all there are 2 bills, 1 for the house and 1 for the senate.The Dems claim they have bipartisan, yet Joe Lieberman is going to vote for the filibuster.The GOP says death panels and the Dems deny it.People its not that hard, dont talk about stuff you dont know.I read the first 50 pages of that bill.They put so many earmarks from lobbyists I cant even read the thing.I dont care about the earmarks, slip them in later.Why cant they show all the aspects of the bill, then they put in the earmarks, and what I mean is something like this: Section 1This act may be cited as _______Section 2 Waiver of Creation of Federal Health Insurance programa) Where by people below 65% income disparity line are applicable to this bill.b) If such insurance is already in place, the individual is not affected by this billSomething like that, nice and simple.After that they can add the part about " funding for research for rat feces." Sorry its so long but im so sick of people BSing eachother about it.Im sure ill get 3-7 people saying " your 15 you dont know $%

#" but i cant take the headache.Thanks, I just hate living in a swing state.My friggen county voted 50.6% McCain and 49.3% Obama.
