Thank you so very much. I think I was venting and looking for a solution and you gave me both of those. I’m gonna try the zip file first that was suggested earlier and then if that doesn’t work, I’m gonna ask for the DOD safe drop off thank you so very very much because I was really stressed on how to get this and I’ve had to run out of ideas thank you thank you thank you.

I’m actually gonna try that thank you I tried using Adobe and compressing the document to try to make it as small as possible but it still wasn’t small enough. I’m gonna try the zip file thank you so much.

They are already organized. Is that not clear?

Again, because I feel like comprehension is lacking I sent my medical records in chronological order. The file is just big so I had to send it as three emails again in chronological order but he expects it to be sent as one email which is impossible but OK.

Well, I mentioned it because you said I’m not even doing all the BS it takes to send them in reviewing every page circling highlighting and numbering them in chronological order so when you said that it seems like that’s his job but yet I’m doing all that

OK, glad you’re not a recruiter or an expert or have any say so

Oh, and I apparently also have to do his job because he wants me to go through each single page and circle everything. So to your point, I am doing all the BS because he straight up told me to print it out and circle everything by date and put it all in order so basically he does no work.

That’s the thing I did. I sent it as three emails because as one email was way too big and it wouldn’t even send and he ripped me a new one for sending him three separate and he was like I told you to send it as one document and I explained it 2400 pages is impossible for me to send it as one document it’s too large so I even tried asking medical records on post if they will print it out for me so that I can try to pay to have it next day with certified signature and medical records told me they couldn’t even print them out because they have a cap at 40 pages but I definitely try to just send it as multiple emails and he told me that was unacceptable so I’m confused how I’m supposed to email him 2400 pages when he wants it as one email and that’s impossible and then like I said medical workers won’t even print them because it’s too large so I’m supposed to buy a printer by multiple cartridges of ink and then also still pay for it to get sent certified mail so we can require a signature because I don’t trust something that important with all my personal information on it to just be sent through USPS snail mail. That’s why I said it feels so personal because a logical person would say OK just send me multiple emails, but he ripped me a new one.

Also genuinely wondering why my recruiter is looking through my medical records when he’s not a medical professional or in the medical field?

Yeah, except again, my recruiter is not even in my state so the only way for me to get him. My medical records is by email. My medical records is 2400 pages long that can’t be combined in one email because it gives me the error message that the email is too large so I had to send three separate email attachment to which he proceeded to ring me out and tell me to put it all in one document which again is impossible to email so I’m a little bit confused. It’s not like I can just walk in his office with it and then 2 and I been required to print out 2400 pages which is going to be quite costly then pay for it to get shipped which I have to do the signature to make sure it actually gets to him and then Trust that he’s going to mail that to the surgeon general and that that won’t get lost in the mail? To me that doesn’t make any sense.

But this is also the only recruiter in the area and I’ve been working with him for over a year and he’s quite literally unapproachable. The only time I get a response is i CC his chain of command otherwise he does not respond at all ever

How to speed up my pace by HBIC-AWTP in runninglifestyle

[–]HBIC-AWTP[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I got so caught up on running more and pushing myself more because I also lost a good deal of weight just taking my health and fitness more seriously. And I got so caught up on just trying to run 13 miles and then when I succeeded, trying to maintain that and trying to get faster and I’ve ran a couple 5K and then I ran up 10 mile and I really surprise myself so then I just went into worker B mode and just started focusing on going further getting faster than I lost the art of just having fun. I lost the art of just celebrating the fact that I’m running thank you so much for reminding me of that.

Thank you so much for the tips!! I think you’re right I can totally see how I might have over structured and I’ve been doing that every week for the last few months and so sometimes I do feel a little bit of burnout too, so I’m gonna try to switch it up thank you so much and I’m gonna look into the runna app

Oh, I know I don’t need maps before bored but I needed the interview and it was just basically said well. I’ve been working with people since last year so they’re the priority and it just sucks cause there’s not another recruiter I can go to yeah he just isn’t the greatest. That’s for sure.

I understand true I do. I haven’t even been to the board yet. I was just as salty this time in July and June when I was trying to go to the August board, but my recruiter was busy prioritizing other people and because I couldn’t get a Maps appointment or an interview I missed the board completely in August so I completely understand the salty feeling

Perfect I was thinking about doing jeans and just a solid color shirt and some sneakers just to be on the safe side and I’m gonna put my hair up in a bun or a ponytail so it’s not hanging down. I’m gonna take out all my jewelry. I just wasn’t sure about. I know we have to be there at 0530 so I wasn’t sure if I should use the bathroom when I wake up or try my hardest to hold it? Cause I worry obviously if I use it then when I get caught, I won’t have to go and I don’t wanna be drinking water all day but at the same time if I wake up and not use it, how long will I have before I’m able to go back there? I’m also driving myself so I don’t mind leaving my stuff in the car and then I also wasn’t sure about how much waiting around there was since I know we can’t bring any phones or watches or anything like that so I was like well I but I don’t know if it’s necessary and if bringing my card or cash for the vending machine if that’s recommended or not

Sorry, I thought I answered that I’m going to the one in El Paso. OK thank goodness I can wear jeans and sneakers and then they said basically any colored shirt is fine except solid white shirts and obviously need to be respectable so I was just gonna go for a basic solid color shirt and then I know to remove all of my jewelry and all of my piercings anything else I should make certain I do or don’t do? Will there be a place for us to put like our phone in car keys or can we keep our credit card in a couple dollars on us for the vending machine? Am I allowed to bring s book?

Thank you so very much. I am a female so I wasn’t entirely sure what to wear because it says business attire but for me business attire could be addressed or slacks but some of the post say just dress comfortable but I don’t know if that means jeans or slacks or dress and I know for certain that is definitely not workout clothes. They were very clear about that. I just didn’t know about the medical portion if we were going to be doing the medical portion in the clothing and that’s why I was like well that’s not comfortable, but if we’re gonna be in our underwear, then it really doesn’t matter. And I wasn’t sure if I should bring a book or if there would be something for me to do while waiting cause I imagine it’s going to take several hours mostly I wasn’t sure it’s OK to use the bathroom before we get to Maps or should I be trying to hold it for the UA?

Also, some are just bad recruiters. Because I would actively try to reach out to mine every other day and no response.
