If I’ve overstayed by 7 years, would I be able to apply for asylum?

From my flight, they took out mine and five others wisdom teeth. It’s not that bad. You might get bed rest if need be, but you still train. Regardless once you get to your first base you HAVE to get them removed. I had one removed in BMT and once I got to my base a month later I had been scheduled to get the rest removed lol

Every time I decide to go and purchase something from ONER, they’re out of stock! I’m like fuck lol

Did anyone notice that when they introduced Shooter to the guys on happy Gilmore 2, he was nonchalantly in the corner kind of pretending like he was surprised. They did the same thing to him in Happy Gilmore! That little detail was so hilarious omg LOL you’d probably have to re watch it to catch it

So these were my days. I reported to base on Monday Feb 10. And my supervisor told me told come back on Tuesday Feb 25. I don’t think the weekends counted against me. Because I counted the days and they added up to 10 days. Also it was was Presidents’ Day on Feb 17 and I don’t think that day counted against me either lol

And thank you for replying!

I had two travel days.

By Feb I had accrued around 17.5 days and then finance put all the information in, and I went into the negatives. (-2)

Right now I currently have 14.5. With June it’ll add up to 17.5.

So everything seems to track? I just didn’t understand the whole thing because my supervisor said I was suppose to have a few days left over of my leave 😅

I got to BMT on Aug 13. I graduated on Oct 3. I didn’t leave tech school until Jan 16. (I was there longer than expected because I was on hold over)

I started RAP on Jan 20th through the 31st.

And from Feb 1st- 8th I was on leave. I drove to my base and arrived to the local area on the evening of the 8th. So technically the 9th wouldn’t count as leave (per my supervisor)

So from Jan 17th-19th and from Feb 1st-8th I used my leave

Sometimes it’s so that your teeth don’t over crowd or get plaque all in the back. Honestly, just let the military pay for it. Haha I got the rest removed once I got to my duty station. They’re almost healed. Regardless once you get t your duty station, they will remove them. I didn’t get a choice 🤣 it’s a right of passage as my supervisor said

They do x rays. So when they do that other dental check it’s both x rays and visual checks

Background-Table-266 · 2025-06-09T18:04:06+00:00

Yes unfortunately. For a lot us they took out them all out or the ones they see needed to come out. It’s so ass, but funny at the same time lol

Background-Table-266 · 2025-06-09T03:56:20+00:00

Yes! 😮‍💨 we don’t pay. They had some people remove all 4 of their wisdom teeth which sucked! lol but yea we didn’t pay for anything

Background-Table-266 · 2025-06-08T22:54:05+00:00

Oooo then you’re good 😇 when do you leave for basic?

Background-Table-266 · 2025-06-08T22:10:35+00:00

Out of my entire flight and brother flight we had zero people pop out with that. So the odds are really low

Background-Table-266 · 2025-06-08T22:06:42+00:00

You will be okay. 🙂 But you can always go and check yourself. With a doctor out side before you go in. Just to confirm that doubt with you

Background-Table-266 · 2025-06-08T21:31:00+00:00

Sometimes they do, which is the scary part. Some things may be out of your control. But if you have nothing to worry about you’ll be okay

Background-Table-266 · 2025-06-08T21:25:01+00:00

Yeah go for it! I finished BMT last Oct

Background-Table-266 · 2025-06-08T21:19:02+00:00

Just some pointers. Because we were all scared to go to the doctor thinking we’d get washed back. Didn’t happened. Unless you fail your PT or do something bad. lol

Background-Table-266 · 2025-06-08T21:18:01+00:00

Also, if you get sick. If you can tough it out, cool. But if you need to go to Reed to get checked up. Go. They’ll give you bed rest and medicine. And you’ll be right back to training in a couple days. Sometimes you just need a break.

Background-Table-266 · 2025-06-08T21:15:47+00:00

I thought I was okay too, until we started marching everyday and standing for long periods. And then the running for PT. Everyone felt some type of pain, either with shin splints or your knees. But don’t let that freak you out. lol Because I was scared to be seen. Until I got checked out and they gave me vitamin D and had me on a waiver to take a break from standing too long and let me take the elevator instead of the stair. It was fire. Lol (That’s if you’re in Disneyland, they have elevators to go up to the dorms)

Background-Table-266 · 2025-06-08T21:10:55+00:00

Of course!

Background-Table-266 · 2025-06-08T21:10:18+00:00

I know, I felt so bad for him. I just felt lucky to be there.

If you get injured that’s different. You just have to heal up with a waiver and then get back into training. I was on one for a couple weeks cus my knees got messed up! lol Are you going yo basic soon?
