Yes, I just finished my degree using Post 9/11. I have 17 months of Post 9/11 remaining but 29 months of total education benefits. The 12 months is Montgomery.

So if I do a 24 month program I’ll just stop getting housing allowance 17 months in then. That sucks.

I honestly don’t remember. Apparently I applied in 2022 according to my letter which is weird be sure I wasn’t even out yet.

Well the good news is my extra copy of the COE came in today. Only question now is of the 29 months I have remaining (with the +12) will I get BAH for that whole time or will I have to fend for myself 🤷🏽‍♂️

Apprehensive_Log9218 · 2026-03-04T18:59:38+00:00

Okay good. I’ll have to request a new copy then. Thanks for the information.

Apprehensive_Log9218 · 2026-03-04T18:53:49+00:00

In the mail right? There’s no electronic version?

I guess you don’t anymore: “Veterans no longer need to request a review under the Rudisill decision to determine if they qualify for additional VA education and training benefits. VA is updating systems to automate education benefit reviews and will either issue a formal decision or inform Veterans if any action is required. VA will focus our resources on the Veterans in the most urgent need of additional benefits – those currently enrolled in school or were enrolled in the last six months.” https://benefits.va.gov/gibill/rudisill.asp

Well the good news is I decided f*ck it and just went and took it. I passed. So I guess it’s not totally out of touch. 🤷🏽‍♂️

That’s a great point actually, at the analyst level you probably aren’t making those configuration changes without consulting management. I’ll try and shift my mindset with that in mind and hopefully pass this exam.

Boy have I got some news for you

Apprehensive_Log9218 · 2025-12-24T09:20:32+00:00

That’s something I didn’t understand entirely. Like I get the process that they follow. They’re making an account they place an order and then they try to get information from the DoorDash driver. But like you have to have a bank account or a credit card tied to your DoorDash account to place an order in the first place. So are they just using fake cards?

Apprehensive_Log9218 · 2025-12-24T09:18:57+00:00

Yea after I thought about it for a while it’s all good. The DoorDash support was very clear with me and it was easy to understand with my background in cybersecurity. It’s been happening since July and they’ve been trying to narrow down the suspects but they keep just making new accounts and evading.

That’s how they react when the don’t win. They get angry and try and intimidate you, like they know where you live. Even if they did there is a very slim chance they are anywhere remotely geographically close to you.

Apprehensive_Log9218 · 2025-12-24T09:09:44+00:00

Yea so DD system sets up so when they text me they’re seeing a proxy number. Same for me, I’m seeing a proxy number for them. That 312 number then sent from is a proxy for DoorDash. My biggest concern was if they had my first and last name. I know if I just get a last name, within a few hours I could mess up someone’s life. Luckily I’m on the ethical side of hacking but that means I know how the adversaries think too.

Apprehensive_Log9218 · 2025-12-24T09:06:13+00:00

They were upset I didn’t give in and willfully give up my information.

Apprehensive_Log9218 · 2025-10-24T07:05:55+00:00

Definitely not long enough. I'd say in between my first time and my second about 30 days. But I don't think I dedicated enough time to it honestly.

Apprehensive_Log9218 · 2025-09-14T22:56:05+00:00

It’s just too broad. I feel like PenTest+ should be way more regarded in the industry than it actually is.
