Question by StoryWeaver: Are there Different Types of Short-Term Memory?
I ask this for a few reasons: one is that I’m just curious, another is that I kind of have poor short-term memory in certain areas but not others. I had a stroke when I was an infant (I’m sixteen now, and despite the doctor’s initial predictions I’m perfectly capable of walking, speaking, and intelligent thought….obviously….) and it has undoubtedly had permanent affects on me. For example, I had a 2-year gross motor delay, same with fine-motor, and I am much weaker on my left side. I’m also partially-blind. But I think I have memory problems too. There are times where I’ll repeat the same question multiple times to my friends without realizing it, and I’m constantly forgetting about plans or commitments that I’ve made. The weird thing is that if I make these plans like two weeks in advance I don’t forget them, but I do if they’re made the day before. Part of me wonders if it’s just severe ADD, but I really do forget some huge things. There are times when my parents ask me how my day was and I suddenly realize that I can’t remember a single thing that happened.
BUT, I *can* remember songs on the piano (and play them by memory), and I’m really good at memorizing lines in a poem or script, and am really good at remembering patterns. That’s kind of why I’m curious as to whether or not there are different types of short-term memory, one that’s patterns while the other’s accumulative maybe. I’m not saying I have a memory disorder, but I am a little worried lol.

Question by : AirForce Form and Recruiting Question?
Straight to the point. I really want to join the AirForce,

lets say i put i have never did or tried marijuana on this form (or tell my recruiter.)

I write down that i havent. But i tryed it out twice, did it 6 years ago.. and Theres no record or trace of it whatsoever.

The form however, reads “you must be totally honest in completing this form” also reads “should i conceal any drug or alcohol abuse info and if discovered later, punitive action may be taken against you based upon the false info you provided.

followed by drug questions.

Question on form reads “have you ever used or experimented with marijuana.”

1) If i say no i havent, What do you think or know what they will do to me if they find out later?
