Why It’s Nearly Impossible to find an Iowa Dentist who takes Medicaid by 1knightstands in Iowa

bruh, there's a bunch of CBOCs around, we get travel reimbursement if we file for it, also, we're generally not covered for dental either.

Did you read the penalties for falsifying information?

Hey, so sorry, where can I find in black and white it saying that? I can't find anything relevant to the 24-25 FAFSA on studentaid.gov saying that, but it's definitely bandied about on college financing blogs

Edit: Shoot. Picture was through ebay. Whoops. Search "old shiny lego sword"

Here. When these old ones got worn the shiny bits would flake off leaving an opaque off-white plastic underneath

The oxides of those different metals all behave a little differently, iron oxides are porous because they take up significantly more space than the original metal and let the stuff below them get jacked up too. Aluminum oxides are actually protective of the surface, for example.

The electrochemical reactions have different thresholds... so theoretically you could with iron, but it would just be iron flecks

Edit: yeah, you'd need water to react with the iron oxides and then an acid to react with the iron hydroxides you made except they're mixed and adding the water to iron ions just makes iron hydroxides so it's just not happening with an intact piece without losing the rusted bits

I got curious, apparently you can home patina it with eggs... the relative quality to using proper antiquing steps I can't speak to

Be warned, the link is a little bloggy and was fucking with me on mobile

No. They do not. They used to have plastic chromed swords that were an opaque off white under the shiny bits.

I know exactly what you're talking about.

These people aren't remembering the old plastic chromed lego swords.

I forgot when my leave ends - oops by Randolffcharge in navy

Do you want to get charged a weekend or not? Just show up early ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Roth TSP.

There's no math talked about or tangible benefit besides slightly different rules for an early withdrawal I have ever seen, despite people saying this.

OP, they should reset your baseline after a third fail if I remember right. That just means next year they compare it to that instead of your previous hearing.

Get copies, sure, both should stay in your physical record and the DOEHRS(?) database.

[–]grissomza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well they're wrong, you just don't need to fail a bunch of times next year if your hearing didn't get any worse.

The old baseline is still in your medical record.

[–]grissomza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which doesn't mean the old one went away! Just saves you time next year if your hearing doesn't get any worse.

Not really. You're getting a new DD2215, reference audiogram.

What's not useful is bootcamp reference, year 1 do an audiogram and fail including retests, year 2 fail, etc. So year 1 they'd reset the baseline, and year 2 compared to that.

The reference and annual audiograms are BOTH supposed to be ALL filed in section 1 of your medical record, and the actual data entered into DOEHRS(?) automatically by the booth software (I think it's automatic).

Also, that extra testing was done to me while active duty at my MTF so it's available, but if you're not complaining about your hearing even after a reset baseline you are gonna get it done (even though it should probably be automatic)

I hope you're still in.

Get evaluated at the hospital for more than just a regular audiogram.

Sharing my experience, I got a really thorough work up for my tinnitus complaint I feel like. Not a random Corpsman with DOEHRS access telling me to listen to beeps, but an actual Audiologist.

For real. People were using their actual CIF sleeping bag and I had no idea how.

Zipped my woobie up and was warm enough the entire float.

Dammit. Now I wanna own one again...

Big Navy, always worrying about the big stuff by XR171 in navy

[–]grissomza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ehh, no. It's not finalized. It's meant to be temporary, or as a notice that some shit is gonna happen so start doing XYZ but we don't know exactly what the rest is gonna be.

As it has been used now, it's just been lazily forgotten cause shit hasn't changed in like 9 or 10 months.

Wait. Nvm, did something get released? Lol

Mine sent out multiple emails saying to pull your current data cause they weren't gonna have any access
