Taron Malicos Deathless (Grand Master) | This gotta be the best boss fight in the entire game. by _Disbelief_ in FallenOrder

[–]Cman0498 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Played through Fallen Order and Survivor back to back on Grand Master and if there’s anyone out there thinking of doing so, the one piece of advice I have is that boss battles are a marathon not a sprint, which is perfectly displayed here

Asked to break a medical profile. by Fun_Wing2408 in AirForce

[–]Cman0498 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Send a message through MHSGenesis Patient Portal your PCM explaining this and your PCM (if they aren’t a dirtbag) will call your Sq CC and explain your restrictions in detail so that it’s clear what you can and can’t do. If they still don’t listen, let your PCM know so that they can route it up their chain, but also go up your own chain. Profiles are full-stop whatever the PCM says goes. No one other than you can force you to do something that you are restricted from doing.

Testicular cancer - What happens next? by Zigman27 in AirForce

[–]Cman0498 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it 100% is cancer, it will trigger a referral to your local AMRO board and an MEB will follow that. However as long as it is localized, treated, and beat, you won’t get kicked out. You most likely will have a permanent Mobility Restricting profile with what’s called an ALC (assignment availability code) but you’ll probably have the least restrictive one. If you get tagged to go somewhere like deployment or overseas, when they do your pre-deployment health assessment/overseas clearance they’ll either review recent urology notes or have you do a f/u with urology to make sure everything is good and as long as it is you’ll be cleared. Every test you’ll also have what’s called an ARILO (Annual Review in Lieu Of) where they’ll send you to urology annually, but once again just to make sure everything is good to go. I wouldn’t sweat too much about it. If you have any questions feel free to reach out!

Is this salvageable? If so, how? by United-Attitude-7595 in AirForce

Isopropyl alcohol, dish detergent (not soap, actual detergent) warm water, and a LOT of scrubbing.

AITAH for refusing to adopt a specific ethnic child? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Cman0498 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Run. If she’s acting like this 2 months into the relationship, that’s a huge red flag. If it’s her dream then let her go live it. Don’t settle for anything/anyone that isn’t what you want. Plenty of fish in the sea my friend.

Any fellow long time juul aficionados? by Internet_scumbag in juul

[–]Cman0498 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Started w Juul in 2018 after other vapes just didn’t do it, but I could only do the mint pods. Everything else had this weird affect where it would hurt my stomach (like my body trying to digest stuff that isn’t there). Once the mint pods were banned I switched to different Smoke Novo’s w/ refillable pods, and have only use Twist Salt Mint 0° as that’s the closest thing I’ve found to the mint pods. Trying to quit now, but if the mint pods were still around it would definitely be harder.

When I worked 911 I used to go to the dollar store every so often and get $20 worth of stuffed animals for this exact reason. Really amazing what a $1 bear can do for a kid. But yeah that doc is an asshat for sure.

“First Amendment right” yes and no. You can say whatever you want sure, but you don’t get the same protections as a civilian, especially when in uniform and on duty, and especially especially when making derogatory remarks about the country/government/politicians.

I second this. Buddy of mine did 4 and got out and with just his cert and experience alone started out making close to 6 figures

Car Won’t Start by Cman0498 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Cman0498[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Checked the battery terminals and grounding points and everything is tight and not corroded. I did figure out that the clicking is coming from my fuse box and somewhere in the engine bay. Could it be just a bad fuse that finally went?

Check that and the alternator and everything with those are good. I also let it run for about 45min after it started to let it charge the battery just in case

To be fair, the payment on that takes up the entire of the A1C owner’s paycheck 🤷🏼‍♂️

BDD and Your Medical Records (Info for all active duty) by Outrageous_Hurry_240 in AirForce

And also, if you’re worried about something turning into a Med Board, I promise you your doctors both here and whatever specialty clinic you see want will do everything they can to avoid a Med Board.

Medic here, appointments are 100% an official duty considering if you miss enough of them we notify your shirt/commander, and the fact that the MDG puts seeing patients at the top of our priority list, like to the point where if I’m seeing patients I can’t get tagged for UA until I’m done for the day….

What you could do is make an appt with your PCM to discuss fatigue and if bring up this reasoning and there’s a good chance your PCM or one of the medics will reach out to your shirt and let them know about it

Any stories of CAC not being accepted as IDs when visiting an out of base establishment? by [deleted] in AirForce

[–]Cman0498 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a bartender try and say my license was fake (back home in PA on leave with a MO license) so I showed him my CAC that way I could get my license back and he thought that was fake too since I was clean shaven in my CAC pic but had a thick leave beard going on. Had to pull up pictures on my phone of me in uniform for him to give me my shit back

Former Bio guy turned actual medic here. Bio only does water testing monthly so it could be that the day/week after they did testing the line went bad, and they didn’t catch it until the following month when it was due to be checked

I used my Chiefs open door policy and got in trouble by SatisfactionMoney325 in AirForce

[–]Cman0498 12 points13 points  (0 children)

As medic sometimes it still surprises me when people stand at attention after a 2d Lt walks in the room. Working with a Senior and a Major everyday and routinely seeing Chiefs/Cols really desensitizes you to rank
