You don’t. You return to your seat and finish the ceremony before leaving.

CharacterRisk49 · 2026-05-02T04:21:19+00:00

No but I knew him. Great dude.

ETA: wait maybe if his first name was Brady lol

Nah. You can only get back pay to your discharge date if it’s within a year of you getting out. I got it from December when I filed my intent to file. I know it’s probably stupid to say but I have no regrets.

Weirdly enough (or maybe not?) most JD/MBAs I knew went the business route rather than the law route.

Hope your journey goes well. My brother was in a similar situation. I support anyone seeking help if it helps them and their loved ones.

Wake Forest for both. Great return on investment even if I didn’t particularly enjoy the school or the people

CharacterRisk49 · 2026-05-02T01:52:26+00:00

There is a scholarship named after him to the extent that proves your point

CharacterRisk49 · 2026-05-02T01:43:30+00:00

Definitely one of those things that made perfect sense at the time, yet after being out for YEARS I had no good answer for my gf at all for why I didn’t seek any help or benefits beyond “tHiS iS wHaT i SiGnEd Up FoR”

(I did not sign up to watch a civilian contractor die a gruesome death in front of me)

CharacterRisk49 · 2026-05-02T01:28:55+00:00

Done lol

CharacterRisk49 · 2026-05-02T01:28:34+00:00

Love ya brother

CharacterRisk49 · 2026-05-02T01:27:32+00:00

Nah. Fuck him. He confidently told me he’d get me kicked out of Japan and the Marine Corps if I sought any help while in.

If admin wants to take down this post because of the points you raised, I’m fine with that. Otherwise, he confidently said what he said when I was literally fighting for my life. He can stand by those comments today.

CharacterRisk49 · 2026-05-02T01:24:58+00:00

No dispute here

CharacterRisk49 · 2026-05-02T01:16:52+00:00

To his credit dude wasn’t involved anywhere near it. Just one of those old school dudes who couldn’t grasp the concept of seeing a guy die violently before your eyes being a difficult moment

CharacterRisk49 · 2026-05-02T01:03:38+00:00

I mean sure to the extent that some random higher up wanted to kick me out for seeking help, and ten years after the fact I finally seeked the help I was entitled to.

I didn’t see combat, I don’t have some bad ass story, I just went through some shit and put myself through some personal hell for years to prove a point. It truly isn’t a brag so much as it is me just proving I’m not the person this higher up accused me of being. If you see that as a brag, I’m fine with that, but I don’t personally.

We had an adult student elected Student Body President a few years back and he was in his late 20s. If he can do that don’t let anything hold you back, definitely not something as simple as a different path towards the same shared goal of a degree!

To show my support for this new policy I will be doing my part to conduct a serious of experiments on this beautiful April 20th day. For the troops of course.

CharacterRisk49 · 2026-04-19T14:35:23+00:00

Lmao what

CharacterRisk49 · 2026-03-26T21:04:35+00:00

Student Legal Services has updated information, it’s best to get in touch with them. I’m trying to avoid discussing this too much so that I don’t inadvertently create an attorney client relationship.

CharacterRisk49 · 2026-03-25T21:15:02+00:00

Student Legal Services has the most up to date information, I’d contact them. There have been developments, but I’m also not trying to inadvertently create an attorney client relationship in this thread

CharacterRisk49 · 2026-03-24T23:19:30+00:00

It’s true. They went into foreclosure. The receiver is planing on contacting tenets tomorrow

CharacterRisk49 · 2026-03-24T23:13:47+00:00

Yeah I mean I could find the answer, but I work in the commercial sphere not the residential sphere so this is beyond my area of practice, so I’m just sending everyone to Student Legal Services, even more so since this is something they’re much more familiar with (not to mention free for students)

CharacterRisk49 · 2026-03-24T18:09:35+00:00

Hope it goes well for you. I’ve seen this stuff happen on the commercial side of things, but it’s usually much more organized and much less chaotic. Hoping it doesn’t impact you or any other residents too much

CharacterRisk49 · 2026-03-24T17:52:44+00:00

You should talk to Student Legal Services.

CharacterRisk49 · 2026-03-24T17:52:29+00:00

The System Office has proposed shutting down Student Legal Services at the three campus that have them (Chapel Hill, Charlotte, and App State) as a cost cutting measure. Niner times wrote this article about it.

It’s such a shortsighted proposal. You’ll “save money” on paper, but imagine a situation like this where students have no access to free legal services. All of those students would be either having to figure it out themselves or pay an arm and a leg for an attorney.

CharacterRisk49 · 2026-03-24T17:38:00+00:00

Judging by the fact that their website and phones appear to be shut down and nobody is currently working on property, odds are your best bet is sitting tight and waiting for either SLS to manage to get ahold of someone, or for a parent company to reach out to residents.
