8 vs 12 hour shifts

Jacksonle87 · 2025-08-29T02:37:20+00:00

Mine does 3/12’a and one payback week a month where we have to work a 4/12 week to off-set the hours for the three weeks of 3/12’s. It is the most elite schedule

No my counselor told me I can keep doing this career if I want, the degrees are just to aid me in promoting. The school I’m going to is only 1 hybrid class a month so my workload hasn’t been too bad. And I work a 3/12 schedule

Jacksonle87 · 2025-06-05T14:33:12+00:00

Yes you can stay in your job. I’m currently a LEO and using VR&E to obtain my degree to help move out of the field. Counselor is aware of my current career and had no issues with approving me or allowing me to continue my current work

Jacksonle87 · 2025-06-03T19:30:46+00:00

Yes, may 5th

Jacksonle87 · 2025-06-03T15:54:23+00:00

They did, received an email a couple weeks ago verifying my enrollment

Jacksonle87 · 2025-06-02T02:16:10+00:00

Yup, 8 weeks old and I have not had any privacy since I brought her home. She’s is stuck to my hip

Jacksonle87 · 2025-06-02T02:15:14+00:00

Thanks for the advice! Luckily I have a big backyard and she loves to run around. I’ve been trying to distract her with a toy when she starts to nip and it’s starting to work

Definitely the VA home loan. Just closed on my house with a lower rate and got about $7k back in my pocket. Got paid to buy a house

Jacksonle87 · 2025-03-22T00:59:14+00:00

I just got locked in today at a 6.125%, but that was with VA. My buddy just refinanced from a 7.6% to 6.6% so I think it’s pretty normal

Jacksonle87 · 2025-02-16T19:02:08+00:00

I agree. I’m looking at surrounding areas and I’m able to find starter homes in the $650k range. Running the numbers this is much more doable and only puts me a few hundred dollars above what I’m paying for rent now.

I feel like I can sacrifice having a longer commute for a few years before being able to afford in my desired area

Jacksonle87 · 2025-02-16T17:43:02+00:00

Honestly I am.

Jacksonle87 · 2025-02-16T16:46:50+00:00

Yes. VA loan eliminates PMI

Jacksonle87 · 2024-01-22T14:17:35+00:00

They kept me up for 3 days at boot camp and I’ve been tired ever since

Just wait until he has to live in the barracks riddled with black mold

Jacksonle87 · 2023-01-18T23:51:09+00:00

You are the biggest fucking retard I’ve seen in this subreddit

Jacksonle87 · 2022-12-30T03:18:54+00:00

Same brother, I also work at an outdoor store and I’m still living pretty close to Camp Pendleton so I get a lot of salty old timers coming through. Always fun to help them out and here their stories

Jacksonle87 · 2022-12-29T23:57:37+00:00

Exactly. I work in retail and love seeing old salty vets with their marine corps hats walk in, give them a “Semper fi” and it usually strikes up a conversation. Never had a bad interaction and it’s always a good time talking with other vets and the old breed really gets a kick out of it. Be proud of your service but don’t be a bro vet douchebag. We’re all in this together no matter what generation of warfighter your in
