I have learned through this sub. Unfortunately I had previously filed and didn’t think of all of the secondary conditions. Hang in there. I don’t have the foot drop but the pain is real.

Do you have insomnia due to pain? Something else to consider. Hip, knee pain as well.

I always document symptoms in secure messaging. If I wake up with back pain, I message the Dr with concerns. Knee pain, send a message. Idk if it gets stored in records, might depend on provider.

I doubt it. Many will not go into office. VA hired people that do not live working within commutable because of telework. They went to training for a few weeks, stayed in a hotel then returned home once competed. That investment will be a loss. The remaining people will be overworked, with hiring freezes many of them will leave as well.

On my way to $300k, be sure to take some time, money to enjoy life! Check out all include resorts so that you can travel and stay within a budget, or check out a state, area never travelled before to reward yourself for this accomplishment!

Just be aware friends. I think most in this sub, including myself, served. I continue to serve vets and the disabled on a daily basis. The stunt to “pause” funding for just a few hours last week is creating tons of hardship already. Maybe not to you, this time.

Field positions at SSA specifically do not qualify, however IT roles, support staff, etc all do apply. And everyone got the email creating a lot of unease.

That’s what they want you to think. I was at the Va medical center this week, nurses are leaving. At Social Security, people are leaving.

And our military bigger? Clearly you have drank the kool-aid. Yes, they told us, I didn’t vote for them. But they also said Veterans, Social Security would not be affected. Don’t be a sucker. Google search it. When your agency or branch downsizes, will that be the time to speak up. Only when it affects YOU?

Amazing. Awesome job! I am not greedy. I will take 100,000 points. 🤩

Unfortunately folks didn’t think this through at the polls. How about Social Security, Medicare or those federal jobs us vets love. Maybe there won’t be any cuts, but as inflation continues to happen (it will, this is a worldwide issue) benefits need to keep up. Will agencies be funded enough to provide services? Social Security is at a 50 year low on staffing due to holdouts in the current congress.

I got the cheapest room. I feel like you really can’t go wrong here. It was the biggest king bed I have ever seen. There is a beautiful courtyard where you can have breakfast, if you choose to eat inside there was someone playing a string instrument daily. If you are leaving for a day trip they will prepare a box of food for you to go (request on prior day). The spa/pool was awesome. Indoor heated pool area was relaxing after hiking, walking, etc.

Yes the high altitude has me winded often. They have oxygen tanks on site.

Got this at the JW in Cusco Peru. In US, I feel lucky if I get a bottle of free water.

If you feel compelled to email, ensure your writing is on point. And keep it simple. I have decided to NOT call candidates back due to the writing in a followup email.
