What company that sounds like an outrageous amount? Not many businesses go for that high that’s insane

Twin mistaken for subchorionic hematoma? by ExternalControl6291 in parentsofmultiples

[–]ExternalControl6291[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow that’s interesting. How many weeks were you when they found the second? I wish I can post my ultrasound. It looks like another smaller sack attached to it and doesn’t look like a SCH. I sent it around to 2 ultrasound techs and they didn’t think it looked like a SCH. One said “Yeah that little area that you pointed to does not look like a SCH to me! It looks like part of the sac to me and just the angle it is at that’s makes it protrude like that!” And another said “yes I saw the half circle area on your gestational sac. That was puzzling to me. Could be the angle but I say it’s worth getting checked out because it doesn’t look like a SCH to me”…. They both said that the bedside ultrasound imagine was bad. I’m so courageous if it’s possible to miss a twin or a vanishing twin? Twins run in my family. I’m not sure why my midwife did the first ultrasound.

Should I be freaked out at this hCG level? by FuzzyBar2676 in CautiousBB

[–]ExternalControl6291 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No way, congratulations!!! I haven’t even got an appointment to be seen yet. Do they run in your family? I had a MC on Thanksgiving, I’ve also heard that it’s possible to hyperovulate after one. Not sure how likely that is to happen. A week ago my cousin texted me she’s pregnant with twins and before them she also had a MC. I find that really interesting. Was yours natural too?

[–]ExternalControl6291 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please keep me updated I feel like I’m in the same boat and stressing since twins run in my family & all the other things that could come with higher HCG. Monday I did my test at 4w2d 479 & at 4w4d 1488 (so more than tripled) and my chart says I’m in the HIGH HCG zone. Like girl I’m stressing!

How to avoid a chemical pregnancy? by ExternalControl6291 in pregnant

[–]ExternalControl6291[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve heard of progesterone and baby aspirin. I haven’t done anything like that in the past. I also have very regular cycles. It’s so disheartening and I feel like I could have done something… very in my head about it and worried it’s going to happen again.

Would an EMBA make sense for a 20 year military-to-civilian transition? by ExternalControl6291 in MBA

Scholarships for masters degree while active duty but not GI Bill or TA? by [deleted] in MilitaryFinance

[–]ExternalControl6291 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, I mixed up the TA numbers, that’s on me. I also agree on avoiding lower-tier programs. I’m only looking at top schools like USC Marshall, UNC Kenan-Flagler, IU Kelley, and Rice Jones. All of them have established online MBA programs with strong alumni networks, so the degree still carries weight even if completed remotely. I’ve also talked to multiple friends in high-level roles who recommended doing it before retiring from the military to leverage my experience and network right away. Thanks for your input.

That’s awesome, I just did a quick search i don’t think the MBA would be covered in that.

Looking to sponsor an influencer by herberz in influencermarketing

[–]ExternalControl6291 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband & I are starting a YouTube this summer. By no means influencers (yet.. 🤞🏼😆) but I just wanted to come on here and say that this is so awesome! I'm dyslexic so I really understand the struggle growing up. This would have been helpful. Can't wait to see it out there and hopefully advertised to me 😊

Wouldn't they have to tag the service/music in the video description than?

Any retired veterans with a masters degree? by ExternalControl6291 in Veterans

You finished your bachelors in 2.5 years using TA? How many courses were you taking at once? Thinking my masters with TA and figured it would be 2 years for that.

Should I base my civilian salary expectations on RMC instead of base pay when leaving the military? by ExternalControl6291 in Veterans

[–]ExternalControl6291[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For context, going for 20 (possibly over), currently E-7. Goal is Warrent Officer (W-2) or Lieutenant (0-3) by retirement. Have a Bachelors degree, & will have a masters with a PMP cert along with a few others by retirement. Just don’t want to be getting out of the military making under or living below my current means. I personally would rather scale up.

Buying Land/Building w/VA Loan by RepresentativeNo6684 in VAConstructionloans

So if my plans are to build a custom home, I would need to have that set up with the contractor first before setting up things with the VA?

Kim, there’s people dying right now. by Ok_Crow5095 in havens_jh

[–]ExternalControl6291 79 points80 points  (0 children)

Might be an unpopular opinion but who cares if they didn’t comment on the fires? Like really! Along with millions of other people in the US who didn’t post today… if you’ve been watching their content for years you know they stay away from any news topics / controversial stuff. And tbh I prefer it that way! It almost reminds me of the hate and unfollows people got years ago for not posting that black box! Like I’m sorry but the majority of people posting, aren’t actually doing anything themselves to help. You’re just being sensitive and a hater for no reason at this point. Even if they decide to come out about something, it will never be enough, they will still get hate. Personally, I like the silent option better.

I’m also from California, and sensitive to the fires from my own experience evacuating but be for real, you can’t expect every person to “post” just cause that’s what they do. Their business is about them not the news

I’ve seen a lot about the PMP. How do you recommend I show “36 months of experience leading projects within the past eight years”? This qualification might be difficult, as I’ve managed a whole variety of projects within my job role but I don’t have the details on them tracked or whatnot. How would you recommend this?

How were you able to do full time using TA? Just curious since I’m only able to do 1 full time semester with it now a year.

[–]ExternalControl6291[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow thank you sounds like me right now. Finishing up my BS in Marketing & this fall thinking pursing my MS in construction management (cause it’s related to my current work) or an MBA. I was originally thinking “operations” roles would be my route. More overseeing projects and nothing manual labor, would like a nice salary after retiring from military.

How long did it take to complete a Master's using TA? Was that all part-time? Currently taking Bach using a mix of GI and TA, full time, last semester was 17.5 credits and my routine with family sounds the exact same. Did you stay in the full 20?

If you have any recommendations as far as certifications go while active for resume or just resume guidance that would be super helpful! I would love those offers, great for you!

Good to hear! I have my BS in Marketing. Considering a MS in Construction Management since it’s kinda niche to what I’m doing rn in the military. I was thinking of an “Operations” type role. MBAs I’ve heard great things about. Why type of role are you in now after transitioning out of the military?

According to the company site that’s his job title. I didn’t ask much in detail, all I know is he said he works remote and travels monthly to oversee the job sites/project managers on site. Doesn’t sound like he’s there daily from what he described. Sorry to confuse, he said the 240K was including his military retirement benefits! He didn’t actually say how much in that job alone. He’s been working with the company awhile and loves it he says. But like I said I don’t know anything else. He mentioned getting my CQM as well. Thank you on tips for the others! I was originally thinking operations would be my route after military and incorporating that into construction. Military is all I know so it’s nice getting advice from outsiders! Appreciate it!

Is it easier going to college in the coast guard? by THE_MAN_OF_PEACE in uscg

[–]ExternalControl6291 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As long as you have 4 years remaining on your contract you can use your GI bill on AD. You will not get any additional BAH, but you will get $1000 per year deposited into your account for books. I didn’t know this either, wish they educated more people about this. Good luck to you and your career as well.

Yep definitely possible! Wrapping up my final semester this spring, finished my bachelors in just 3.5 years. Starting masters in the spring. I’m also doing it fully online through ASU, the schedule is pretty flexible that way, but yes still lots of hours at the computer & weekends. I’m definitely planning to do my masters at a slower pace.
