I'm in a bind
Hello,
I recently took the PAST and was told that while I could pass the test, my flat feet, rolled ankles, and rolled knees would pose a problem for me in Indoc as well as later on, and that given the choice the individual in charge of placing jobs would deny any requests for a Para Rescue job.
Now, I've been offered a job with Air Force EOD, but I'm not sure that this would be a good choice for me. I just can't figure out how any of the skill sets learned for this job would translate to anything I would want to do in the civilian sector. I don't plan on being a lifer in the Air Force, but I would like to do my part for a bit as long as I can translate it out into the civilian field.
On the flip side, I've been offered a full ride to college. There are plenty of opportunities there, but I'm also not certain that its the right choice for me. I would like to serve, I'm just not certain if EOD is the right thing for me. I've been given until Friday to decide.
I just wanted to get the opinions of people who have more life experience than I. Thanks.
