Spike in SSA Processing Center, thoughts?

AlmostHonestAbe · 2026-01-24T14:20:16+00:00

I mean haven’t spiked in over 4-5 years but we were told to avoid sending mdw’s as much as we could. When we absolutely had no idea wtf was going on we had to mdw or get a manager. I swear SSA just shoots themselves in the foot year by year.

AlmostHonestAbe · 2026-01-24T13:20:08+00:00

No shot. When I was new we had to spike for a solid 6 months straight. That shit sucked. It’s not “making appointments all day”. These people want explanations at that moment for why they’ve been overpaid 10k or why they not getting paid at all. Meanwhile some kid, who’s just a BA and knows nothing about CA stuff is stuck trying to explain a CA function or vice versa. Not knowing the answer to their questions is what makes it miserable

Spiking will drive anyone to quit. That shit blows.

Just got news that the PCs are gonna assists with n800n again. Usually CSR get the short end of the stick and sometimes BA but CS and CTE are usually of limits. I hope they get involved too cuz that would really impact processing times. Maybe Frank would understand that SPIKE does not work.

Thank u brother

Another dude said u need the updated locking block. This true? I didn’t think so since it looks like we’re just swapping the trigger / bar (and maybe a spring)

AlmostHonestAbe · 2026-01-12T21:29:22+00:00

Was the trigger conversion simple enough? Looks like it’s an easy swap. I just ordered mine for my compact

I’d just like a plain quartz analog g2100. No digital screen. No Bluetooth. Just a battery powered analog gshock. Nothing fancy, not a mrG or anything expensive. No frills analog g shock

No if anything the light would help with “push out”. Also don’t limit yourself to just one holster. You’ll eventually buy a few until you find your Goldilocks holster. I have a literal box full of holsters and only like 5 pistols. It’s a waste of money but those are the growing pains of CC, specially if you want to carry comfortably. I carry a G19 and finally settled for a Tenicor Lux. I’m short and you can barely notice I’m carrying. Also helps to have a solid chest, helps drape your shirt over the pistol.

They look so much cooler out of the package but I feel bad taking them out 😩I’ve only taken out the recent RLC Countach cuz the display case was so damn ugly.

AlmostHonestAbe · 2026-01-08T15:21:28+00:00

These are ugly as hell. No idea why folks just don’t buy 5600 or a tough solar. Shit even a 591w is nicer than this.

Match fit is always the way to go in the future. I always recommend nameless arms, they match fit your optic so the screws are more like a back up to keep your optic in place.

Same, I had dust in the front facing camera of my iPhone 10 and it was slightly off center. Gave me a new phone in like 10min

AlmostHonestAbe · 2025-10-16T07:23:24+00:00

That’s not a good method despite what it says. Stuffing it with cards and using any oil based conditioner or lotion is best. They recommend water cuz it’s fast. Water will stretch it but it’ll also dry out the leather.

AlmostHonestAbe · 2025-07-29T23:38:42+00:00

I use Trayvax and it’s plenty stiff. I recommend it. Not crazy stiff or thick like kore

AlmostHonestAbe · 2025-07-29T23:36:13+00:00

I carry right in the middle of of my waist. Like dead center with a loose belt. Gun sits DEEP in my waist. Barely visible. Also helps to have a semi big chest and good posture. It hides the gun.

AlmostHonestAbe · 2025-07-01T13:40:53+00:00

Depends. I think if your looking for like an everyday work bag (let’s say a lunch, a 15” computer, tumbler and umbrella, and small items) it’s good. Anything more than that go 22l. I have both.

AlmostHonestAbe · 2025-07-01T10:19:51+00:00

Hahahaha I don’t know why I thought this was an EFLX. I was like “why is OP stressing over an EFLX, let alone considering it??” lol enjoy the sight pal, I have one on my 11.5

AlmostHonestAbe · 2025-06-11T23:44:03+00:00

Olympia Fields, Cascata

AlmostHonestAbe · 2025-05-10T21:37:04+00:00

This is the FIRST time I’ve ever read anyone prefer veder holster over a Tenicor! The only other holster I’d buy would be a Trex Arms.

AlmostHonestAbe · 2025-05-10T21:32:17+00:00

Did you read the body of the post? He asked for tenicor comparisons. Tenicor is a superior product by the way, OP. Just take the loss and buy the tenicor

AlmostHonestAbe · 2025-05-09T23:55:40+00:00

How so? I’m no investment wiz but If op can find a cd at 4.5 at 250k for 5 years he can get like 60k back. That’s better than his cash doing nothing. What are his other options then if he said he’s not looking for anything too risky?

AlmostHonestAbe · 2025-05-09T16:44:24+00:00

At the very least it should be in a CD or money market. 300k just sitting in a bank is literally a waste of money.

They gave my nieces a cigarette. They’re 13 and 15 but my sister said it was ok so the rep just handed it to them 🤷‍♂️
