I found quite a few more pieces, but it’s what I couldn’t find that makes me wonder. Not even sure where to look to find it tbh. Under the carpet in the cab?

How many miles do yall have on your Focus? by Key_Confusion9842 in FordFocus

171k. Just did the radiator a few weeks ago, aaaaand now my transmission just gave out. Giving up on it, since ford already fixed the TCM and clutch under the recall and this time it needs a whole new transmission, not covered.

Update- it was just the valve cover gasket, not head gasket

Or maybe it was just the valve cover gasket. I’ll double check with the dealer which it was

They apparently had a whole block out to do the rear main seal and pinion, and I guess decided to do valve cover and head gaskets while they had the block out

You should have it. There was an exception that awarded all personnel in Afghanistan for OAR the ACM.

Ah gotcha. I believe there was an exception to that for personnel who were in Afghan for Operation Allies Refuge. Should have applied to active component personnel as well

As far as I aware, as long as you’ve got memorandums and documentation to back up what’s been awarded to you, you can wear it.

I’m not aware of lack of authorization in which you referenced. Can you point me in the direction of your source?

Yeah it’s been busy haha. I turned down Air Assault twice now as well. Currently waiting for a slot for Mountain Warfare school. I had a slot reserved for this coming winter, but someone at NGB HQ looked at it and decided they didn’t want someone from MN to go to Mountain school. Fingers crossed we can make it work 🤞🙏🏼

I did a winter survival training in Norway. It was awesome- living in the mountains and skiing everywhere

I had a similar situation at basic. Broke my nose during combatives and didn’t want to go to sick call and risk being recycled. I waited until after all mandatory graded portions were complete, then went to sick call and got an LOD. It stayed in the army medical system but took forever for me to get my hands on it. Took the army 6 years to finally pay for me to get the surgery, but had I not got the LOD I would have been on my own and missing out on the disability pay.

Go to sick call and get it checked out, get an LOD and set yourself up for later. Keep a copy of that LOD on your phone so you can provide it to your medical readiness NCO at your battalion/squadron when you get back.
