He is not taking meds and has it controlled enough that he’s a full time city paramedic. I have no knowledge on this topic so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Tourette’s can be very fickle regarding how it impacts the individual. It is best to check with a recruiter.

While they don&#39;t play by their own rules, they do find loopholes. CW5 Mark Smith Sun, 30 Aug 2020 00:07:41 -0400 2020-08-30T00:07:41-04:00 2020-08-29T16:01:29-04:00
