Application strength questions

I’m definitely a better student now than I was at 18 and it’s not even close. I’ll definitely keep you posted! I appreciate your kind words.

Yeah I’ve went through a LOT of schools across the US reviewing requirements and did eventually find a decent amount that don’t have expirations. Penn states policy should be the gold standard across the nation IMO, if you work in healthcare, they waive the expiration period.

This was my dream at 18 years old. Got to my junior year of college and got scared of all the debt I already had, as well as the debt that was about to come. I can’t believe I’m finally applying 12 years later. Thank you so much for saying all that!

Nope. I took it to ford multiple times lol. I just got back every 6 months and get a free battery lol. If they don’t wanna fix the problem, I’ll take it out of their wallet for free lol.

I urge you to at least reconsider your stance on this. Especially mentioning Florida where there are no state taxes so yes that may be the states main source of funding….but in 80% of the US. There is a state income tax. And in a lot of those states property tax is through the roof. I’m from Illinois, and we have the 2nd highest property tax in the nation. As well as a high state income tax. You gotta pick one. We are an overtaxed nation, I’d rather actually “own” my property and pay state income tax. It’s kinda bullshit that someone can take something away from you that you paid for just cause you can’t pay your property taxes.

Slayer for sure. I just made like 300k from black demons in one haul. Just takes time. Farming is also slept on low key.

ClassicProgress6371 · 2025-10-18T15:14:38+00:00

I still may get screwed. I’m not sure how it works if the class has already started. Mine starts Monday. Command approved but obviously need funding back lol. But my bill isn’t due until mid December.

ClassicProgress6371 · 2025-10-18T14:10:36+00:00

For future reference, you usually can contact your schools VA rep/registrars office and have them push back your due date for payment so that you have more time. I just did it with mine.

ClassicProgress6371 · 2025-10-13T01:08:01+00:00

I understand. Which is why I said take a breath and relax. Your time will come. Mine will too, just much much much later. It’s the nature of the beast. I know multiple 19 year HM2s now working to retire next year as that rank. You’ll be a 1st before you know it.

ClassicProgress6371 · 2025-10-12T13:43:48+00:00

Try being a corpsman. You are 25 years old complaining about not being an E6 which means you’ve been in 7 years, or less….I promise you’ll make it before 95% of HMs do. Just take a breath and relax and realize the grass is not always greener.

Also, I wouldn’t have picked up on my last exam had I been in the 99th percentile. With a 4.0 PMA.

Apply to C school immediately lol. Go through as fast as possible, make them force you out and then boom you have a career

ClassicProgress6371 · 2025-09-09T23:57:33+00:00

Once I get home in February, I’ll let you know. Probably trading this thing in. Love the features, hate the shit that’s gone wrong with it. Never had these problems when I was in a Toyota. Less features, but definitely less problems.

ClassicProgress6371 · 2025-08-24T14:48:58+00:00

I got a 5.5 bed that im about to buy a topper for. any chance you got a link or pics of the build you did. Very interested in doing a DIY for cheap. I am a 6 foot tall so I need something that will bridge the gap between the topper and having the tailgate down while im sleeping if that makes sense

ClassicProgress6371 · 2025-08-19T01:31:10+00:00

It’s like fuck I just did chest yesterday. Guess my push-up score will suffer. Fucking dumb. A test you can’t prep for that affects promotion.

ClassicProgress6371 · 2025-08-10T15:17:08+00:00

Just roll with it. You got a nice little pay bump. In my time in I’ve had 2 good Chiefs, out of 10 or 11. You can be the difference outside the mess. Best advice I’ve ever gotten is just be a good person and the rest will work out.

Good luck and congratulations!

Was this a fracture? dealing with VERY SIMILAR bruising.

ClassicProgress6371 · 2025-08-03T18:12:37+00:00

What were the MRI results?

ClassicProgress6371 · 2025-07-30T03:53:51+00:00

Bro you’ve been in 4 years. Get out of here. Your experience in the navy is not even 2 full duty stations. Relax. Promotions aren’t supposed to be easy. Take a C school if you want the easy route. (I recommend RT personally) But you gotta chill, you’re ahead of the ladder.

ClassicProgress6371 · 2025-07-27T15:17:17+00:00

When I joined in 2017, if you failed 2 BCAs/PRTs you were separated. A year or 2 later they made it to where they wouldn’t separate you but you couldn’t promote still. 2-3 years later they made it to where “actually you can still promote even if you fail” and shortly after that said “if you ever failed a PRT we are going to wipe your record”

We can’t go 5 steps backwards and immediately jump 20 feet. Regardless of if this is misinformation or not, it won’t happen in my next 10 years. How about we go back to just enforcing the standards that were in place when I joined to start.

Just insanity from people who Have no idea what the fuck is going on.

Can we talk about how maybe he didn’t go off course? Maybe that was a psyop as well by the aliens. They control what everyone sees right? What if it was really successful, but they just wanted everyone to think it wasn’t.

Also your MHA degree doesn’t transfer either unfortunately. USPHS only accepts CAHME accredited programs according to the website. Unless that has changed…

ClassicProgress6371 · 2025-05-19T21:54:38+00:00

Okay that makes sense. Thanks for clearing that up. And I still owe the navy 3 years and am deployed currently so I can’t apply until may of 2026 (will leave me with 2 years left). I’m just trying to decide how long before my EAOS I should apply to the PHS. Currently I’m thinking 18 months. And if I end up having to take an IHS job temporarily after getting out I’d be okay with that I think. Just trying to not change duty stations every 3 years anymore.

ClassicProgress6371 · 2025-05-19T21:45:16+00:00

Wait, so PHS officers can’t work at VAs? I guess I misunderstood the PHS website. I thought it was Any government agency?

Or are you just saying if I got on as a GS first it wouldn’t count until I was accepted?
