If you mean handicapped, then the answer is sort of. You can work as a military civilian. All branches have a civilian branch.\nHere is the website for Air Force Civilians\nhttp://www.jobweb.com/employer/matrix/airforce.htm

If you have Medicare or Medicaid, both of them assist with wheelchairs, but you would need to get a prescription from your doctor. In my town, the local charity attached to the church also helps by loaning them to people until they can purchase their own. Check with your local hospitals and nursing homes too.

there are a lot of social and health problems associated with life in a wheelchair and employers who are open minded are usually aware of the problems.\nUsually government departments are required to make allowances for employees who have disabilities. so it could be useful to start looking through government job advertisements.\nalternative are to:\n *offer your services as a tutor at a local college or universtiy\n *advertise in your local area as a tutor\n *talk to your local employment agency about the kind of work you'd like to do\n *make an appointment with an occupational therapist whose job it is to make it possible for you to deal with every day things like getting and maintaining a job.

There are tons. I am disabled and got a few. Try your local Independent Living Association. Also, look at the MS Foundation site. Also, the office of the disabled in each county can help you. Email me if you need more help

I BELIEVE YOU CAN GET THAT INFORMATION THROUGH THE DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES.  I KNOW IF YOU ARE ON WELFARE THEY HAVE A FEW PROGRAMS.  ONE THAT I CAN REMEMBER IS CRYSTAL STAIRS.

Yes, they can. The Marine Corps offers a tuition assistance program. But if you're unable to complete your classes, you'll have to pay for them totally out of pocket. Be sure you ask both the college and the tuition assistance office what your financial obligations will be if you get suddenly deployed during the middle of the semester.

According to EOE "Equal Opportunity Employment", yes you can.  Of course I wouldn't recommend certain disabilities w/ certain jobs.  For instance (AND I'm not being mean)...I don't think if you're in a wheelchair that they'll hire you as a waiter/waitress.

there are several software and devices to help the handicapped with computers. Read the following excellent article by Murphy:\nhttp://courses.cs.vt.edu/~cs3604/lib/Disabilities/murhpy.AT.html

You can join the military if you are color blind, you just can not do certain jobs in the military if you are color blind, such as being a flyer, or air traffic control. I don't know where you got you info, but I would talk to another recruiter.

You've got to be kidding.  However, given the difficulty they're having getting people to enlist, they might work with you on it.  I would suggest you contact a recruiter rather than asking here on Yahoo Answers.

Hawaii has a great Disability Studies program at one of the main universities.  Contact them as they would be the most up to date and non biased in their study of the needs of the residents with disabilities in Hawaii.  Potential for a great partnership!!!!!!!!!

I'm not sure if she would get a full ride, but there are probably a lot of scholarships available for children of disabled veterans.  Contact the financial aid office of the college she wants to attend and see what they say.

Try the enlisted mens club, the NCO club, the officers club, and if you're looking for maturity, try the senior NCO club.  If that doesn't work, stand by the gate with your thumb out, someone's bound to pick you up.

I did not see any particularly for disabled on SSI but I did not look that closely. \n\nThere a number of scholarships available.
