I heard that they measure your neck & if its 14 1/2 inches around it then you have to do one but Im not sure on that....Measure your neck...LOL

It's actually a group of risk factors, including BMI, neck size, etc. I believe the neck size criteria is >17"; certainly not 14½"!
I did a recent orientation at USX, and they recommended me to get checked out for sleep apnea. Note, I said recommended, not required.
It is a serious thing, but I already have a weight loss plan in place, and that's a much better fix for the sleep apnea I don't have anyway.
I had to laugh at the silly question during the pre-screening. The nurse asks me "Do you snore when you're sleeping?" I told her "I don't know. I'm usually asleep at the time."
If I remember correctly on the blood pressure, the limit is 140/90. They were actually pretty good with me on that. I was over the first time, 150-something. I was kind of tense and nervous at the time too. That is not a typical reading I ever get in the doctor's office, etc. They flagged it, and when I saw the doctor he measured it again and it was down to the limit, and then the nurse measured it one more time and it was well within the limits, so I was good.flood Thanks this. -
Do they use automatic or manual trucks for road test?.Im fresh out of school so Ive never driven an automatic.
-
Depends on what the guy doing the road test has. You have nothing to worry about with an automatic. Its like driving a car.
