You know what? You getting injured during Basic/AIT would have received absolutely no criticism on this site. It happens. We all know this. Getting medically released bears no shame either. It happens. You would have gotten respect if you decided to go home and get fully healed and then try it all ...

DBS, I sent you a PM. I reread all your old BS PMs from when you were in school that you sent me and I have a deal for you. One of my pilots in OIF is a LT for LA County. I think this is more of the old BS but I'll see if you will bite on it, Reply to my PM and I will make sure the information is i...

Ranger 42L5V, In the "we" I post about, I meant the entire community. I have no delusions that I'm part of a Ranger community. My military career was short, and I did not hack it - no excuses. I came back to this site to post an apology. I thought it was decently received. I ask advice on ...

Remember this one from reception a while ago. A Drill SGT. on a road march has been having all kinds of hell with a PVT. The PVT breaks formation to fall back, lags behind, falls out, and is flat out FUBAR on a consistent basis. Finally the Drill SGT. snaps and pulls the PVT. aside. "PVT. what ...

I was covered under the Montgomery GI Bill, which sucked, and you could not receive both GI Bill benefits and Pell Grant. Interestingly, the Pell Grant was the exact amount as the Montgomery GI Bill amount and I could have received it and never served a day plus not have had to stick $1200 of my ow...

I'm currently enrolled under Chapter 31 - and I keep getting mixed opinions from my Voc. Rehab. counselor and the Financial Aid department at my school. Money is tight in my family - my wife and I are both full time college students working towards a Master degree and raising a 10 year old son. When...

Final say on it. Two cops came to take a statement from my son tonight, in person. First thing they ask is "How old is your son" I told them he's 10, and that one of the kids who made the threat is 12, and the other is 10. First thing out of his mouth is that they can't do anything because...

I can understand the importance of having things on file in case serious shit does hit the fan down the line, you've got a backup plan on your side. It just seems a little excessive to me to have to prosecute some one based around every threat made just so you can protect yourself - that line of th...

This sort of makes me think a bit as it applies to my own life. Are you saying that any threats should be documented just in case one has to defend themselves? Wouldn't self defense always be self defense? From what I was told last night - the police aren't here to document any little instance that...

Ranger Zonk. Just had a Sheriff here, my son is over at his grandparents for the weekend and will be back Monday - to try and get him some relief from all the stress. I wrote down a time line history of what had happened. Showed it to the Sheriff. Sheriff said, "Here's the deal, we don't just d...

The main thing I got out of the web page is that it condenses a lot of different sources into a single site. Most of the stuff provided on there - is given to you on your initial intake at the VA in various pamphlets. There is some important information there that Veterans should know about - but it...

My experience with the Boy Scouts as a child was poor. Our Den Leader did next to nothing to promote any training within the organization for us to earn our skills badge, and most of the meetings ended up with all of the kids watching The Simpsons while the parents hung out downstairs doing whatever...

Thanks for the replies. His teacher sent us an e-mail this morning concerning the tic's and what's been going on at school. The principle has been handling it a little more seriously than I had originally thought - and held all faculty after hours on Friday to discuss our son's safety and to be vigi...

Received this from my Voc. Rehab. counselor today: Great news! Today, OPM is launching FedsHireVets.gov, a critical component of President Obama’s Veterans Employment Initiative. This website will become the main source for Veterans employment information and resources for both Veterans and Hiring O...
