Absolutely. and the test should be much more difficult. They'll give anyone with a pulse permission to comandeer a 2 ton flying piece of metal. Talk about stupid!!\n\n32 \nMale

Depends upon how tough customs is. When I just returned from the Caribbean, all I had to do was show my driver's license and keep walking, they didn't check it at all in any type of system.

I'm from Long Island but since the test is a state wide thing and not a city thing, its basically the same test. First off, go to the nyc dmv website and they have a bunch of practice stuff and info on their. You should also get the book they put out that tells you all you need to know for the test. You can get that from the dmv or from one of your friends or an older sibling, perhaps? The questions are relativly easy, such as what kind of sign is this, what do you when..., what factors go into your blood alchol level. Plus you can get a few wrong and still pass. Good luck :-)

I have taken it a couple years ago. I had the impression it is recognized in many western European countries. I have not yet met anyone in the US who knew about it.

You REALLY ought to get it before setting foot inside the USA.  If you do not, you run the risk of being sent back immediately, thus losing your airfare money and being right back where you started from with less money than before.\n\nAnother thing to remember is that Hispanic people somewhat resemble people from the Middle East and Pakistan.  Recently, one such person who behaved bizarrely, possibly owing to mental problems, was shot dead by the security police in plain clothes (Air Marshals) who may or may not be on some flights.\n\nFalse statements and not actually doing what you claimed to be here for will also get you deported.\n\nGet your VISA ahead of time, and do not be disappointed!

It takes something pretty serious to keep you from passing the screening. I'm seriously anemic and they still approved me to come here. I think a lot of it has to do with where your going. Our hospital here in Naples doesn't even have a Intensive Care Unit, I think it's a forty something bed hospital, so anybody with anything that is too bad, they wouldn't send somewhere like this. My biggest problem for the overseas screening was the dental. I actually had to have a lot of work done on my mouth! But that kind worked out for the best for me....I got braces and the Military is paying for them one hundred percent because I live overseas! I'm seen on base here for both medical and dental.As a dependent ( My husband is the active duty member ) over the age of 19, our dental insurance through the military in the States wouldn't cover anything for braces. And remember that when you go in for your screening, you'll see a military dentist for your dental screening, but if you have anything they want fixed before you go ( Wisdom teeth pulled, cavities filled, etc... ) they'll make you go to a civilian dentist to have it done, so you'll hav to pay whatever the insurance doesn't.

Recently I attended an excursion to our Airport in the capacity of a parent helper. Wow it was sooo fun.... we followed the yellow line in single file out on the tarmac as if we were planes about to take off. We learnt to recognise  the various signs within the airport eg. toilets, exit etc.\nBut the best part was when a Blackhawk helipcopter landed to refuel and the two pilots invited us to hop in and sit and walk through it. We got heaps of pics.

i have taken two. and for the purpose they are using it for, it is very accurate. they will ask you questions like: is your name____?  is your birthday ____? have you driven while intoxicated in the past _____ months years etc?  have you stolen anything? blaah blaah blaaa. \nit is very nerve wracking and awful. your heart will race and you will feel like you have done something wrong. and if you lie the needle will spike considerably  higher than your normal wave length. i HATE taking the tests. i always leave with a headache. good luck!!! don't lie!!

I joined the Army in 1991, and the only physical exam I remember getting was at the MEPS.  In reception at Basic we got all our shots, but no exam. They may have changed since then.

no, not unless it was a very sensitive test. I worked there during the holidays for extra income and had to take the test too. I also use listerine and I didnt fail. Tests do come back wrong my dear so I suggest seeing if you can get a retake.

There is one thing that seems to go unnoticed -if you apply LEGALLY you have to have a health check!  They screen for HIV, hepatitis, TB, etc., etc.  Who screens the illegals?  Who may be working in restaurants, hospitals, etc?  NOBODY!  It is all very well to scream for equal rights for illegals, but what about equal responsibilities??

Yes it has. Saw it or slept thru parts of "Airplane" and "Ghost" on an international flight in the 1990s. I can't remember which airline that was, but it was great seeing the first movie inflight - Even tho I'd seen both movies several times and I still was trying to stay awake to see it.

At this point of time the Department of tourism has not issued an American safety advisory, however, judging the violatle condition of Israel & Palastine I wouldn't be surprised if they do so in the near future. I want to tour part of Europe and have been told by an Air Force Major (friend) that if I do indeed want to plan that trip I need to get it done in the very near future.

Have done a bit in several countries.\n\nBasically listen to EVERYTHING,\nIf you have a question ASK\nIf you want to prat about DON'T\nYou are NOT the only one who is scared\nEVERYTHING you are told to do is for a reason - don't 2nd guess the instructor!\n\nYour 1st jump (or first few) will be stressful ... it is always going to be an unnatural act - just remember your training and relax as much as possible.  I have never been on  a drop zone which wasn't full of friendly people ... everyone was a beginner once.\n\nBest advice I can give is JUST DO IT!  Whether a static line jump, tandem or accelerated free fall it is a blast.  Just remember the ride isn't over when the chute opens - listen to your radio as you still have to land it!\n\nOnce down watch for jumpers and planes landing, get back to the hangar (or where ever u supposed to be) then pat yourself on the back ... you have done a special (although not difficult) thing.\n\nBlue Skies =8-)

I didn't take that test. I think the test I took was called the NTE, but I don't remember exactly. It has been 15 years and I've been teaching outside the US for the last 11 years. However, I remember that the test was very easy. If you do well on standardized tests and can write fairly well, you will do fine. \n\nI did have friends who took the test several times and never passed, but they had always had trouble with tests. \n\nGood luck to you.
