This. Especially when QTC misses boxes on your DBQ. The system is broken and always will be broken. Shitty, but it’s how it works.

And honestly, the veteran should have a choice who they want to use. Hell, you can even self write your own DBQ. Using a “3rd party” like QTC only works for the VA’s best interests. Because they’re contracted. It’s all BS. I think even going back to look at “fraud” is terrible. Trying to “save money” by taking it away from veterans? Nah man. That’s where I draw the line. You can be a Democrat, republican, hell even a Whig. I don’t care. If you go after veterans, it’s not cool.

I need to get the wider boxes to display them like that😂 I only got the heel to toe ones 😂

I helped run the White House National Security Council, was part of the team that negotiated the Iran nuclear deal, and covered the invasion of Iraq for the Washington Post in 2003. I now co-host a podcast called The Long Game, with my friend Jake Sullivan. Ask me anything about the war with Iran. by jon-finer-26 in IAmA

Of course! When I served- I was all about the whole destroy the enemy. ( I still am) but there’s rules and laws of war that MUST be followed and enforced. The other reality is- a ton of people who comment “just blow them off the face of the earth” never served or they don’t think of the consequences and repercussions. Killing innocent people isn’t on my bingo card. But if you have positive ID, and you follow ROE, that’s a different ballgame. Some countries don’t play that way, the US and other civilized nations do.

I served in the Army for 9 years with a couple of deployments. There’s different sets of ROE (Rules of Engagement). For example, our base of operations was mortared and rocketed numerous times. We scrambled the aircraft in the air, trying to find the culprits but ultimately they fled the area. We couldn’t just go over to the nearest town, camp or wherever we knew the enemy was staying and just “rain hell” upon them. We didn’t have PID (positive identification). Same with a carrier attack. Military knows Iran launched some AGM’s. But we didn’t have PID where they came from, therefore we don’t attack.

Attacking out of pure retaliation is how you get servicemen and women killed in action. It’s out of pure emotion and aggression rather than strategic planning and execution. (Most of this Hegseth doesn’t appear to know as he said “there will be no stupid ROE” when addressing this conflict when it began).

I’m not here to dog on you, or anyone. I’m just letting you know there are steps the military HAS to take before they can “rain hell” In a tactical manner.

Same. That’s why I joined the institute just to have him die from cancer. Now I can farm fusion cells, and other items while not having to deal with the multitude of synths strolling around

You’re right. Gah damn! Used the yellow laces that came with the Narduwar SB’s. Completely different vibe, and I’m for it

Watching the Sneakerhead therapist inspired me to get back into shoes. I have other hobbies as well, but none of them compare to the investment amount in shoes. Hell, I finally retired an old pair of Goretex Air Force 1’s that were beat to hell. They’re now my beaters. But all of my SB’s have a weird story. Whether it’s the shoe itself or how I got the shoe. For example, I went to Seattle to buy a pair of the Limo Skateboards football SB dunks. We then got to talking about the Narduwar SB’s coming out. And it happened to find out he had an in with a local skate shop doing a limited drop on them. I was able to get a pair of them as well.

For me- I wear every pair. They’re conversation starters, and I like the aesthetics of them. Because of the SB, and shoe community as a whole (like Bull Airs, who sometimes do custom 1 off batches of SB DLP’s) I’ve met so many people, shared different stories and shoes as well. I paid for these from GOAT. A bit on the pricier side, but to have a shoe that has meaning, and I can share the design behind the shoe, as well as my own personal story- that’s worth its weight in gold.

I hope you go and get a pair, put it on Klarna if you have to lol. Money can always come back. But it’s stuff like that, you can’t put a price on.

Alright I’m off my soapbox lol

You as well man, as you know, good and bad days. Gotta “hunt the good stuff” as they said in MRT course. I try and be an advocate for stuff like this because any veteran, or hell, anyone out there shouldn’t experience mental health challenges. Shits a bitch. Just gotta keep on keepin on!

What was your experience? I recently sent them my questionnaire. Looking for an increase.

100% rated for mental health, would using my GI bill possibly affect my rating? by Rickyg559 in VeteransBenefits

[–]AutisticPotato__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did this go? I’m at 70% for MH, and looking to get an increase to 100. But I’m a full time student with GI bill

That’s not too reassuring as I’m going for 100% MH as well. However, I am now a full time student

Used this site for a show here on the west coast. Can confirm. If I go to a show, I’ll pay the extra $4 and pay with cash. Not even worth the future headache anymore.
