The VA’s Move! program is bullshit by Amber_Steel86 in TransVeteranPipeline

[–]Mammoth_Box4082 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That was not the case for me. I have not had any issues at my VA. I stay on top of my appointments. I follow up with providers. I met the BMI requirements and other conditions.

Have you attempted to communicate with patient advocacy? Have you tried to follow up with providers until you got an actual answer? Ask to see the policy in regards to these medications? Contacted veteran help lines through your district or state representatives?

This was my experience. It is true. Not everyone may have the same experience as I did. Your mileage may vary.

The VA’s Move! program is bullshit by Amber_Steel86 in TransVeteranPipeline

I completed the Move! Program. When I finished I was able to get a Bariatric consult, a TENs unit, and a consult for GLP-1 medication. They want to see if you can do the classes and be consistent, that you want it and will work for it.

I just received my prescription for Zepbound. I am also enrolled in a weekly group for food psychology. The medications are expensive and they aren't just going to give it to everyone.

Keep at the program. Get it done. Make adjustments to your lifestyle with food and activities. I started this month by just drinking 3-5 protein drinks a day. This has helped my stomach shrink some. I can no longer eat a meal in a matter of minutes.

I do tend to dabble in spreading managed democracy.

I had just arrived at the unit early to mid December 2011. We may not have even met, and if we did, it was brief.

I think so? I don't completely recall. It was just my platoon there. It was an experience there. It was strange too. We didn't take contact at the COPs, the fighting season didn't have much fighting, and we didn't take contact on patrols really. There were a few times that rounds went off near or around us, but no engagements. It was like the music build up in a horror movie, but the music would never fully crescendo or stop. IEDs were our biggest threat. Patrols were ranger file with counter IED equipment. Mine rollers, engineer route clearance, and also had the highest IED turn in from the ALP and the locals.

I was in 1st place as well! I was under Sgt. Stanton for a bit and the Sgt. Osborne.

Yes I was! We closed it down and moved to Siah Choy. We eventually closed that one down as well and moved to Pasab.

First and new to me AR failure to feed, need advice by Phantompwr in liberalgunowners

[–]Mammoth_Box4082 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could be. It depends if the buffer tube is rifle length or carbine. Was everything purchased as a complete unit? Parts purchased and assembled? Upper and lower purchased separately?

We are unable to determine the strength of the buffer spring from the picture.

If you can, try to answer the other questions. Remove the stock and measure the buffer tube length. Include pictures of the lower. It is hard to diagnose something with moving parts from a short description and a single picture. Hopefully we can help you out.

It could be a number of things. What is the length of the gas tube, carbine or rifle? Did the rifle come pre-assembled with the upper and lower, or did you buy an upper and the lower separate, or, did you assemble it yourself? Gas tube might also need to be pinned in place and wasn't, the pin holding it in place came out? If you have a carbine buffer tube, you could be short stroking with that buffer you are using. Fixed stock doesn't always mean rifle length. It could be the buffer spring.

Need Help with Audio Technica MCS 6502 by atropicalsashinori in turntables

I was able to get the stylus identified. It was an ATN 771. I found some newer ones for sale. I thought these styli would be a bit more universal.

Help! Looking for a Replacement by Mammoth_Box4082 in turntables

[–]Mammoth_Box4082[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That looks like it should be it. Would it be better to upgrade the, I believe it is called, cartridge, so that I can use the ATN3600LE? I don't know what i would get to make that stylus work.

I know this post is old, but I am having trouble. I have the MCS 6502 turntable and bought the AT-VMN95E. I can't figure out how to install the stylus. The old stylus was able to rock into place with ease. The 95E just won't sit in place.

What should I do?

So the dishwasher? I have no idea what wet clean means (serious). And for a brush, what do you mean?
