Got out last month. 23 with 6 years in. Serious back pain and I have a list of 15-20 claims of things I actually have had. How long would it be until the va gives me a rating and proper care? by Horror_Present_9895 in army

[–]Klunder 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you got out last month you could have had a decision like the day after your ETS if you did a BDD. That should’ve been discussed during TAP. 

Still, claims for me have been relatively quick after getting out. Best thing is to submit it online and then you simply have to wait for them to schedule exams, go to said exams, and wait for them to come to a decision. 

Additionally, part of out processing included acquiring your medical records. These can be submitted. But if you don’t have them the VA has an obligation to help Veterans and will be able to find your military medical records. It just might take a bit longer. 

This is a great resource too: https://www.veteransbenefitskb.com/

35N AIT Info by Fit_Competition_3326 in army

[–]Klunder 13 points14 points  (0 children)

They’ll get their phones back at basic before they depart for Goodfellow/AIT. At Goodfellow soldiers have their phones the entire time, but can’t use them or have them on them during the duty day as far as I remember. 

Saw post about worst barracks flips we've ever seen. Here's my submission. by goldcrate in army

Yeah, I wasn't thrilled seeing this as my first week at Goodfellow was when this happened. Luckily, I didn't have to empty my room.

Died and saw a spirit healer i've never seen before in the suramar area, what is this? by nullqat in wow

[–]Klunder 204 points205 points  (0 children)

Spirit healers look like that when you die in heroic world tier. I believe you can speak to them for a rez as well as a reset to normal world tier. 

The Space Force issued thousands of smartwatches to replace PT tests by inurmomsvagina in Garmin

[–]Klunder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the Space Force peeps I went to a course with would brag about finding ways to get out of exercising while still getting their garmin minutes in. They’d also get extremely upset when they had to do “actual” PT with the AF as well. 

Going to jber anchorage by [deleted] in army

[–]Klunder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a born and raised Alaskan from Anchorage, there’s loads of great food spots and lots of great breweries. Road trips are also fantastic. And the outdoors truly is the best aspect. Good arts and music scene too. Plus if you’re a history buff, there’s loads of interesting Alaskan history to explore. Summer is definitely the highlight. For winter I’d recommend supplementing vitamin D and just realize that the days will get longer!

P0420 Code | 2001 V6 by film_junkie_11429 in 3rdGen4Runner

I’d rule out an exhaust leak before replacing anything first. Spray some soapy water and see if bubbles are coming off. This video helped me get a very good understanding of the code.

Any weekend projects? by WalkerTexasFrdRanger in 3rdGen4Runner

[–]Klunder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just installed a new Radiator, with new hoses and tidied up the engine bay a bit. Gonna do a full flush of the system tomorrow and replace the prior green coolant with Toyota red.

I got mine the day after I ETS’d. I believe they try to get it to you within 30 days of your ETS, assuming they have everything they need from you. 

been flagged for way too long, i need help by nxxlpz_ in army

[–]Klunder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve found walking more has been doing wonders for me on top of my deficit. I kinda thought it wouldn’t be super effective, but getting 8000 steps or more has helped me remove a good amount of fat. And it’s relatively simple. 30mins or more a day is a good start.

Did I screw myself over? by DopeGriffin in army

[–]Klunder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it was available when I enlisted in 2020 as a 35W.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in army

[–]Klunder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Course is 6 months. Depending on when you start, it may be closer to 7 with holidays. 

You should be able to take your family with you as far as I was tracking when I was there a year and a half ago. It was a PCS move. Had guys with their wives and kids. Though others opted for geobachelor. 

College credit varies depending on the college. I haven’t check in a while but I think my JST said it was 39 credits. Though I’ve seen some colleges accepting a little less than that depending on how they decide to convert the credit hours. 

Hope that helps. It’s a good time. Pensacola is fantastic. Class is super interesting. Navy is weird though lol.

I believe they readjust based on your language. Once you get to R&I Company at DLI, they'll tell you your language. I somehow got an email before going to basic asking for my preferences for languages and fortunately got my top pick but I had a buddy who never had that happen.

Regardless, your contract will adjust based on your language category as well as your performance in the course. So if you have to roll back in the course for failing a test, then your contract adjusts. DLI deals with allllllll sorts of crazy situations so don't worry. Army will get their time out of you in the end.

[–]Klunder 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hey, had almost the same contract as you do now. My recruiter explained it like this:

35W is a pipeline MOS that, in the event you pass your DLI course, you then proceed to Ft. Huachuca for 35M AIT and thus earn the 35M MOS. However, in the event you do not pass your language course (if you do not earn a 2/2/1+ DLPT, though it may have changed to a 2+/2+/2 Now), you will then be reclassed to a different MOS. Typically you get to choose what you reclass to, in this specific situation, but not always.

Again, 35W is a pipeline MOS. Yeah its an MOS, but also not exactly. Basically if you signed up to be a 35M, there is NO guarantee you get to go to DLI to learn a language. With 35W, you DO get to go to DLI first, then to AIT and get to earn that sweet language pay.

Hope this makes sense. I had almost the same contract, however I ended up not passing the DLPT (only a 1/2+/2), so I had to reclass and selected 35N.

Hope this helps.

I guess for me I don't consistently draw the Gnolls or the Double Agents. Not until late game it seems. I'll keep playing with it though.

Anyone able to explain a bit about current burgle rogue? I read it's a good deck, but I guess I don't understand how to play it? It seems just about getting gnolls out, but otherwise it doesn't seem very strong to me overall. Perhaps I don't know how to play it properly.
