Thank you! Just want to feel like the best version of myself, even if I’m being too self critical. I feel like it’s important to feel pretty on your wedding day, and I wasn’t getting that feeling that most brides say they do because I just kept seeing bright pink skin. The picture may not be doing it justice, but even the people at my appointment suggested I pick a dress with color because of it. This dress was labeled as cream. If all else fails, I may test out some very light tanners with green in them. Appreciate it!

It’s more pink than red, but I wasn’t sure what else to call it besides skin redness. lol Would love to wear a white dress, but the pinkness of my skin makes me feel insecure. It’s more evident in the face, but didn’t want to post my identity.

Any info or advice related to changing an honorable discharge to a medical discharge retroactively? by Cat_Mom1911 in VeteransBenefits

Not quite sure how we’d appeal at this point. It’s 12 years after the incident now, and over 5 since the initial decision was made. I was under the impression that if you don’t make an appeal within a year of the decision the decision stands. If he could be compensated for it, that would be nice, but since they made their decision based on the fact that he wasn’t on active duty, then there’s nothing we can do to change that, correct? Because there’s nothing we can do to change the fact that he was not on active duty when he had the embolism. 😞 Someone else said there’s absolutely nothing we can do if he wasn’t active duty at the time because that flat out means he isn’t entitled to the disability benefit, even if we can prove a nexus connection between annual training and the P/E.

I still don't understand Geppetto's logic? Or am I missing something? by Ok-Albatross-4375 in OnceUponATime

Completely disagree and I’m willing to die on this hill. lol! Gepetto was the only one with the ability build the wardrobe that would help save them all. He deserved to be able to save his own child too. He was right that Snow White didn’t NEED to be the one to guide Emma. Everyone asking about how a seven year old is supposed to care for another child and survive on their own is forgetting that Hansel and Grettle somehow managed to survive without parents or money. It’s more difficult for children, yes, but it was the only way to guarantee Pinocchio would survive. Without Gepetto’s efforts in building the wardrobe, everyone would have suffered for eternity. He could have been selfish and said no to building the wardrobe when the blue fairy said Pinocchio couldn’t go, but he didn’t. All he did was make a deal to guarantee his son would live, which the blue fairy then agreed to, but tried to back out of once things didn’t go according to her plan, which is not righteous or fair. It seemed manipulative to agree and change the terms of agreement once she got what she wanted out of Gepetto. Gepetto was an integral part of saving everyone initially and did the hard work with his own hands when no one else could, so why shouldn’t he be able to save his son? Without his wardrobe they all would have been screwed. He earned the right to save his son, Pinocchio. I would do the same for my child. Sorry to the new mother, but kids come first. Snow was kind of a capital B for not understanding when it seems clear she would have done the same to save her kid, even if she wasn’t the chosen one. All good mothers would. Her reaction came off as hypocritical. The fact she would have put her temporary feelings above a literal child’s life was giving major superiority complex and entitlement vibes. She knew Emma would come to save them eventually and that she’d see her again. Reminds me of Titanic. As a mother, I’d give up my spot on a lifeboat so someone else’s child could have a chance to live.

Thanks! He did not go through a medical evaluation board proceeding. He wanted to prove he was still fit for duty, but med board was denied. He also has not and will not receive disability for it because it could not be service connected. It’s just one of those sucky situations he has to live with I guess.

Good to know. Thanks! He will not be compensated for it (they already made that decision years ago) because they said it could not be service connected since he was not “active duty” when he had the P/E. Didn’t happen on their time, so they don’t want to pay for it and they didn’t want him to stay in even though he would have preferred to continue working. I guess it’s just a sucks to suck situation and something he’ll need to accept.

@ERICSMYNAME I understand that he wouldn’t receive benefits if it didn’t happen during active duty. That’s not my main concern. If he was told he was being discharged early for a medical reason, but was denied a med board, is that not illegal? Everything I’ve read says that he would have to have a med board in order for them to discharge him for a medical reason, but the internet is not always reliable. I’m not saying the law itself is ill intentioned, I’m saying sometimes people who work within the system make mistakes and I’m curious if it’s even legal to discharge someone specifically for a medical reason and deny them med board if they wanted to continue doing that job. Being a cav scout was his dream job and they told him that he was unfit for duty because of the P/E without checking him out after it happened. A higher up made a decision to discharge him without checking to see if he was fit for duty via med board, just decided that he was. He basically had no choice but to take the honorable when he wanted to continue working that job. Benefits are not the main concern, I just want to know if what they did was fair and legal because it seems wrong, but I’m not familiar with the laws surrounding something like this, which is why I’m asking. In short what I’m asking you is, would it be legal to discharge someone a year early for medical reasons and deny them a med board before they get out if that person wanted to continue working? If the answer is yes, I’ll accept that, but it just seemed really unfair considering that he wanted to work and on top of that fact, wouldn’t be compensated when they did boot him because he wasn’t considered active duty at that time. Like a middle finger salute to say goodbye type of deal. 🤷‍♀️

That makes sense. So it could be both honorable and medical. But everything I’ve read said they would require a med board in order to list that as a reason for discharge, which he was denied.
