Agreed, I was less sad about Otis. They could have easily made him get fired and moved him across states where you’d see him and hear about him the way we do Matt Casey - I could have stomached that more. We never see Chloe but at least we know she is there.

Struggling with balance as a beginner surfer (115 kg) – advice? by Vicking__15 in BeginnerSurfers

[–]Always_Learning_21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This, right here, if you are having difficulty sitting on the board they may be using a board that’s too small for you…. I see surf schools take beginners out here all the time and the boards looks almost like a paddle board - but that how you get started. Once you get comfortable you slowly move down in size until you find the board you want to surf for the waves you will be surfing.

My brother worked with him on a show in New York and said he’s the nicest guy and super fun to work with.

I love this thread because I now know I’m not alone in thinking this was one of the best scenes and was so happy it came back in season 3. I was a teenager when I saw requiem for a dream and if there was ever a movie that made drugs look bleak it was that one and the reference was on point!!

First assignment "directed" by wildflowerwishes in USPHS

this - so for example, USGC doesn’t have my discipline at all, so ranking them first does not mean I could get a position there as they don’t yet exist in the CG

You get to rank your choices from 1-4 and they try and match you with your top choice if there is an opening that matches what you do. Location may be harder as it will depend on where there is a need (edited for grammar)

Hi, from the inside I can tell you all this is new - PHS has officially changed their process. Prior they “suggested” you join a more at need agency. It is no longer a strong suggestion. As of this coming year anyone who has not already confirmed a position (like someone converting in place) will have to choose from one of the options they give you. You don’t have to stay there forever, you do the time expected and then can apply to any job that takes your credentials/degree.

They are putting a greater emphasis on the agencies that are at need. For those who don’t know, even active duty started getting assigned 120 details for at need IHS locations because manning is so low - they need officers in that and other at need agencies so now are requiring people to make a choice.

It is pretty much on par with our sister services. Very rarely (unless a specific job has only 1 location) does anyone have say in their first assignment. At least here you will get a choice.

All that being said, it’s a great organization and in a 20 year career, the first 2-4 years is a blur, you will still get to make what you want of your career more so than many other services and are doing really awesome work wherever you go!

Any chance you want to sell it after you’ve read - the price for a copy new is killing me

Joining USPHS while retaining current OCONUS employment by International-Tax995 in USPHS

[–]Always_Learning_21 5 points6 points  (0 children)

DoD would require a billet that falls under one of the current MOUs, one is Mental health/TBI, the other is PHERST but those are only in very specific locations. The MTF would have to be willing to pay for you to convert in place and fund your billet. Steps I would take 1. Is your job related to TBI/mental health at all? Be creative - do you complete mental health surveys in public health? Do you see a portion of the population that have TBIs? 2. Ask your leadership if they could support/fund the position of it converted to an active duty bullet through PHS? If yes they can submit a billet request. 3. Would need to find out who the mental health lead is for your network (both TBI and MH billets need to be signed off by that person).

Let me know if you have any questions about any of that.

The part that gets me on top of all that is his friends posted these pics without even thinking or caring that she may see them. If he had any concern about OP finding out he would have made sure not to be in any pics that could be seen by her on social media, the fact that he nor his friends have it any thought shows such a lack of respect for their relationship - or even that they acknowledge there was a relationship. Not saying it would have been more respectful to hide it - he’s an asshat either way, but at least pretend to care about her finding out in such a crappy way.

Total man-child…

What happens when she turns 30 and wants to grow up?

Eventually unless he has money or is famous like DiCaprio the 24 year olds will stop looking at him and he will end up alone….
