I have a clean background but I have had several medical diagnoses that could disqualify my from getting clearance. Any insight and advice would be appreciated and taken to heart. I do have a civilian career as an EMT in a busy 911 system (PT). However, I would put all of that on hold for the chance to, at the very least, try out for SF. Thank you all for your time.

All the SF gent's are Phlebotomists! I was amazed when our Sr. media told me to assist in giving shots. OK, easy to do and I gave shots. Then learned to give IV's, as an 18B, I know, pretty crazy huh. And as an 18B we didn't "take" blood, unless of course you include "spilling" it........
