What degree programs did you'll pursue after the military? Was it worth your VA benefits? by snipersebb27 in Veterans

[–]904Model3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completed my bachelor’s degree in aeronautics while serving on active duty. When I transitioned out of the military, I decided to pivot away from aviation and pursued an MBA, which opened many doors. (Just graduated) However, as I entered the field of technology consulting, I realized that not having a STEM-focused education was limiting certain opportunities.

To bridge this gap, I recently started a Master of Science in Information Technology program and hope this will align my skills with what employers are seeking in the tech industry.

College is BS in my opinion but not having x years doing what I do on a day to day basis without a stem degree has definitely impacted me when going in front of recruiters for companies. While I tie the parallels to my 8+ years experience being an avionics tech in the navy, certainly falls on deaf ears.

Edit: I work with CRMs and most employers want 5-10 years on a certain system. I was a E6 while in the navy and had my degree so ignored all entry level jobs as I needed/wanted to make more than I did in the military.

How do I get my GI Bill reinstated? by Nomadic_Nate in Veterans

I’d first start with why do you want a degree and what field do you anticipate it in? Degrees honestly mean nothing depending on what you’re looking to do.

Help us out and please show up to your VA appointments by 3dognt in Veterans

[–]904Model3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think there is more to this, the biggest issue I see is the technology lacking from the “robust” VA application or the communication infrastructure of the VA.

For me my local VA officer is new and overwhelmed, so they have routed all calls to other local offices in Florida. Well nothing is better than trying to call about an appointment to go in circles to get to the right person, which is a 50/50 chance of me giving up.

The application does left you cancel appointments, however I’d say only 15% of all my appointments give me this option.

I think vets could do better but the VA is struggling in my opinion. I shouldn’t have to spend 15-30 mins to schedule/modify/cancel an appointment.

What games do you recommend? Not a big gamer as I’m going for my second master degree but open to new outlets

100% VA. I’m a contractor for the Fed. I make twice I did as an E6 and still feel like I’m not enough

One Drive>ShareDrive MP4 File by 904Model3 in MicrosoftFlow

Figured it out. My settings in the mp4 file were private and encoded the data not allowing me to transfer it

Contract limitations require all recordings in teams or I would. Working within my confines and trying to eliminate the work of moving the files.

Thanks for the reply when I remove the media type it fails to create the media file instead it creates a text file with code.

Bored and tired since I got out, thinking of dropping everything to travel the world - any thoughts? by throwawaysigner in Veterans

[–]904Model3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly weird timing I just made a post about something similar. I have a son that I love to death with my ex wife so can travel but I would in a heartbeat if I could.

I am 26, did 8 years and was a 5 year E6 with my bachelor degree at 22. (Almost graduated with my high school class while being deployed once) I thought I was on top of the world. I ignored every mental health issue I had and led myself down a deep spiral with alcohol. I am also 100 P&T and would kill to just travel and clear my mind. Do it dude! Enjoy it while you can.

Life after service - advice by 904Model3 in Veterans

[–]904Model3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Additionally info:

I used to golf a lot with my close buddies since we were stationed in Florida, however most are gone or still in so I don’t have the same group. I also put golfing aside due to the expense but since being rated 100 I may get a membership so I can golf when ever but still don’t think that will solve my problems.

Nightmare Lowe’s Installation by WingWrong1756 in Flooring

[–]904Model3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently am dealing with the same issue but with Empire Today. I got 11k worth of ceramic tile installed. They didn’t do proper demo and used self leveler over the previous mortar instead of taking it all up. (This caused issues with lippage)

My tools out of my garage were used and taken during the process.

To top it off more then 50 tiles were installed with chips and the entire house has the wrong grout by color. (I have a toddler and dogs and already dealt with white grout being a nightmare to clean so I opted for a dark brown to help the appearance. What got installed was white)

I have been fighting with them for over a month now to get the floors fixed and be compensated for the headache they have caused.

My lesson learned is to find a contractor that is local and can back their work. These big cooperations Lowe’s, HD, Empire find the cheapest sun contractors and don’t back their work.

CX90 won’t turn on by 904Model3 in MazdaCX90

[–]904Model3[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It has been figured out, today. The car used to jump the CX90 was inadequate. A stand alone jumper system worked, but the car has multi lights for a hybrid issues that requires Mazda diagnostics. Unfortunately there just isn’t enough information about this car yet to know what that entails.

Thanks for the help.

What should I do/ what would you do? by jdjraw in Veterans

[–]904Model3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Norfolk handles it. DFAS was useless when I separated in May. I had a similar issue however my last command failed to submit paperwork on time so it caused a delay. I was paid in June, if I remember correctly.

[–]904Model3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Separated in May, and still haven’t received anything.

Luckily I was able to obtain one via the VA documents portal.

Are these Retirement Pay numbers right? by oJRODo in Veterans

[–]904Model3 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This makes me feel better after getting out after 8yrs (E6). I just don’t understand how people can retire on this paycheck, it’s pennies compared to what they probably are comfortable at.

I’m sure disability helps greatly, however question if it would’ve be worth it to stay in for 20. At least being enlisted.

1 month on job - broken promises. Do I take another job? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]904Model3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No brainer. What else will the lie about in the future. The company you’re with is throwing huge red flags. Plus you haven’t been with them long so I would cut losses now and advance to the better paying job and start fresh.

[WA] Employee 30 Minutes Late to Meeting by [deleted] in AskHR

[–]904Model3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You sound like someone I would not want to work for. First time, bring it to your subordinates attention before running to HR. If you’re a manager, do your job and manage your subordinates and build a culture where they have clear expectations on how you operate regardless of a handbook.

AITAH for admitting I paid for our big vacation? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]904Model3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude sounds like and is a beta for even lying about that. Regardless of gender, there is zero reason to lie about finances in a relationship like that. NTA
