    Just curious, why would you need medical quals for paperwork?

      Military job == military target. That means their place of work is a lot more liable to be bombed or attacked, and they’re going to have to be able to react quickly in order to move to safety, possibly including personal firearms training.

      The comment by 520 is pretty much spot on. In the event our office areas are attacked every single person in uniform is considered a rifleman, regardless of age gender or creed it is expected that you are to pick up a rifle and return fire as needed or assist with moving injured personnel to a safer location.

      An example of medical qualification is wisdom teeth. A fun fact about the military I served with, every single person has their wisdom teeth pulled and gets a shop lecture on proper dental hygiene. The reason for this is so that we don’t have to send a team of 8-10 to return a person from the front due to wisdom teeth issues or hygiene issues causing health problems.
