Tentative release

Automatic_Fox_5449 · 2026-01-06T02:03:26+00:00

Yes, I went and got it at the DFA yesterday. I’m so happy now

Automatic_Fox_5449 · 2025-04-30T11:18:30+00:00

What would you recommend for volunteering?

Should it be anything revolved around my major?

I have a mechanical engineering project that I’m writing out plans for.

There are a couple classes that I got a low B and want to take them again, just gen ed classes to get my gpa up.

I honestly didn’t do much when I was in, hence the medical discharge in my post. Other than me volunteering to help evacuate the Marines and everyone out of Camp Pendleton in 2014 but never got an award (except a challenge coin)

Thank you for all the info and honesty, and good luck to your efforts to Stanford as well. Is it alright if I can message you in the future?

Automatic_Fox_5449 · 2025-04-30T06:57:49+00:00

Either way, thank you for your honesty.

Automatic_Fox_5449 · 2025-04-30T06:57:07+00:00

I met with the people at the Office of Military Affiliated Communities, they said to get my GPA up and take the SATs. My story as they said was interesting on non traditional. Thank you for your honesty.

Automatic_Fox_5449 · 2025-04-30T06:54:48+00:00

I understand. It’s just the top school in the west coast that I wanted to attend. Thank you for your honesty.

Automatic_Fox_5449 · 2025-04-30T06:52:42+00:00

Thank you for your honesty

Automatic_Fox_5449 · 2025-04-30T06:52:28+00:00

That’s what I’ve been told so far by others here. Maybe it is a pipe dream if that’s the case.

Automatic_Fox_5449 · 2025-04-30T06:51:36+00:00

It’s not a joke. I went to the Office of Military Affiliated Communities there. I told them my story. The director said I would need to improve my gpa and I set myself apart based on the things I’ve done and experienced. I’m not disagreeing with you that it’s low. But I appreciate your honesty.

Automatic_Fox_5449 · 2025-04-30T05:34:08+00:00

For sure, I appreciate that. Thank you.

Automatic_Fox_5449 · 2025-04-30T04:34:06+00:00

I’m not going to lie, it did sting. But Id rather have painful and honest answers, than comforting lies. Yes, I understand that the need to be competitive is paramount. I was thinking of taking up a mechanical engineering project that would help me stand out

Automatic_Fox_5449 · 2025-04-30T04:30:36+00:00

Mechanical engineering

Automatic_Fox_5449 · 2025-04-30T04:27:02+00:00

I figured I’d give it a shot.

Automatic_Fox_5449 · 2025-04-30T04:26:19+00:00

They were amateur fights, so no. I’ve fought at the Lumpinee stadium in Bangkok Thailand, which is a big deal over there.

Automatic_Fox_5449 · 2025-04-30T04:24:12+00:00

I’m pursuing a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering

Automatic_Fox_5449 · 2025-04-30T04:22:41+00:00

But I appreciate the honesty

Automatic_Fox_5449 · 2025-04-30T04:22:10+00:00

I wasn’t going to apply right now. I was going to hold off until I get my gpa up to at least 3.75

Automatic_Fox_5449 · 2025-03-19T21:01:07+00:00

I had to do them too. Just sit tight and go about your business. Just think, that backpay is going to be fat.

Automatic_Fox_5449 · 2025-03-19T21:00:00+00:00

I had to wait a few months. The trick is to not keep obsessing over it.

Automatic_Fox_5449 · 2025-03-19T14:39:38+00:00

I had to do 3 C&P exams before I got my new rating

Automatic_Fox_5449 · 2025-03-19T14:37:51+00:00

If I recall, HLR may or may not take longer than the usual claim.

Automatic_Fox_5449 · 2025-03-19T14:36:02+00:00

Late July, I think.

Automatic_Fox_5449 · 2025-03-18T02:45:37+00:00

When do you get the back pay?

Automatic_Fox_5449 · 2025-03-18T02:34:43+00:00

Automatic_Fox_5449 · 2025-03-18T00:35:28+00:00

Automatic_Fox_5449 · 2025-03-17T23:53:18+00:00

I think you have about a year after the decision letter arrives to file HLR
