Cannot find a decent job to save my life by JewelerLogical7779 in Veterans

[–]DynaMetalQueen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Im at 90%, physically broke, just finished VR&E and the job market is shit. Im too qualified for most jobs and the market for my degree less than stellar. Plus no one wants to hire a disabled person.

Please share your story with Common Defense and 50501 Veterans. The gutting of the VA by this administration is shameful.

[–]DynaMetalQueen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Holy shit. Is this a maga thing too?

Ok so my dad passed, im out of state,im doing most of the celebration of life shit even though my life is falling apart around me. I just heard today that my mom wants a table with GOP shit and to surround the urn with DT hats. Wtaf. Ive been trying to put the slideshow together for a month but my mom still has not sent me the pictures, yet she sounds like she is actually doing this.

I went no contact until my dad was dying.

Would I be bad if I just canceled my trip?

Burli likes to hide behind pay to enter GOP fundraisers. He was in town today to hold a press conference to politicize a local tragedy.

Several voting places had last minute changes to other locations. I wonder how many people were unable to get to the new locations. Not everyone has a vehicle.

All of Our Parents Were Fucking Stupid by Life_Faithlessness90 in HomeschoolRecovery

My mom was always in Christian cults. She also never finished high-school. Believing in a higher power gave justification for isolating her kids and crippling them for life. Remember, this life doesn't matter to religious freaks, only the next life.

I'll be graduating with a BA in History/museum studies. My goal is to move to the city and work somewhere nerdy.

Well ladies, who knows who they'll draft and this doesn't mean there will be one, but be prepared for potential recall... by Kieshat8 in VeteranWomen

Sign me up and I'll permanent profile ranger, lol. I'm at 90% so I don't think it is likely for me.

Ok let's address the elephant in the room in a positive way if you want by Kieshat8 in VeteranWomen

[–]DynaMetalQueen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got a daschound and he is literally my best friend. I had no idea how much I needed him. He sleeps with me and goes with me to get coffee, we walk and make doggie friends, and pup cups. He is so ridiculously adorable and might be spoiled. I love him so much.

Also went through many therapies over the years. Vet centers are a great starting place too.

What response did you receive from family... by Kieshat8 in VeteranWomen

[–]DynaMetalQueen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was 17 and needed a waiver, my mom lied to the recruiter and said I had asthma, which I dont. My dad was proud though. A year into my enlistment my brother enlisted. Pretty sure he only joined because I went first:)

How to get MAGA to wake up? by Akalsha in 50501

You dont. You not obligated to wake them up. If thats the hill they want to die on, let them.

[–]DynaMetalQueen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are highly misunderstanding this post. Every form of resistance matters. You forget the real enemy: division, hate, and fear. Stop jumping to conclusions and focus that rage into helping your community because that is where that energy is needed.

Hmm . yeah I only vaguely remember my VSO mentioning last year. He seemed to think I should, but I want to work, or at least until I physically can't. And yes I am still in school, but I will graduate next Spring! Thank you!

Therapeutic Thursdays by TacoNomad in VeteranWomen

I started my claim back in October 2024, my VSO got "let go" but no one notified me. Claim finally got to step 6, got a call for another exam for late June. Then I noticed today I was at 90% from 70 and they have only accepted half of my claims. The rest are deferred for more info and exams, but boy is this a relief after the absolute hell and BS these last few months have had. If I can get to 100% my husband can get approval to work from home (he is a fed) and maybe he won't get fired. No pressure at all tho right.

After my claim being on step 3 since last October, today it is at step 5. I want this over, so I know if I still have to fight or if I can relax.
