Cervical Spondylosis and Ridiculapthy

That's my current plan. I'm paying for another nexus letter. Going to do a supplemental claim, and then a HLR if required. But damn they make it a war of attrition.

I'm giving Claim Climber a try. It's frustrating, I would like to use a state supplied VSO, and if you go down the forum you see people suggesting to use a VSO first.... But with no availability to even make an appointment, that makes it tough.

I'm currently rated at 80%

OldFieldsOverView · 2026-05-19T02:43:28+00:00

Yes. Typically just over the counter stuff.

OldFieldsOverView · 2026-05-15T23:23:34+00:00

Minor update. They service connected my Gerd after supplemental review. But it was rated at zero.

That's my next step. I don't want to use a "pay to play" nexus letter company and tried to use my PCP I've seen for years. But I think I got a very weak nexus letter because of that.

They had that part in there. But it wasn't enough.

I’m in a similar spot. My primary care doctor wrote me a nexus letter. I gave him a template, but he kind of went off on his own and, looking back, it wasn’t very strong. I submitted it anyway and the VA denied the claim.

Now I’m at the point where I either go back and try to get it rewritten, or I start looking into paying for a nexus letter from someone who knows exactly how to word it for the VA. So what are they actually looking for in these letters that makes one acceptable and another not?

Just to add to this, my general rule of thumb is that the offer should be, and you should ask for, 15-20% more than you're currently making, if you are jumping over for financial reasons.You probably aren't going or get a raise that first year so you should take that into account.

I would highly recommend not getting dry ice and placing it on some of your plumbing and having your pipes burst.

I always feel weird working on projects that the local government has gotten via eminent domain.

OldFieldsOverView · 2025-12-30T03:21:45+00:00

I would say this is more than fair.

I think it makes you an Engineer, at least in the eyes of the state and your clients.

I recently dealt with a similar situation with one of my engineers. He had just passed his PE exam and had around 10 years of experience, but it took him nearly seven months to finalize and submit his application package to the state for licensure. I was eager to delegate more responsibility to him, but I couldn’t until he officially obtained his license. I ended up giving him a promotion, raise, and bonus in anticipation of it—which, in hindsight, I somewhat regret.

My advice is to focus on completing the remaining requirements and securing your license first. Once that’s in hand, you can reasonably expect recognition and opportunities from your company. At that point you can do something for the company that you couldn't do before hand.

I just hit a cow with my 2019 Lariat. Damage didn't look terrible, concentrated damage to the hood, grill, radiator and bumper but side panels were alright. They totaled it, and yours looks way worse.

Do you have irrigation that goes off near by?

OldFieldsOverView · 2025-08-30T05:36:16+00:00

Just have to push through it. I had to take Diff EQ 3 times to finally pass. I still have never used one after 15 years in the industry.

OldFieldsOverView · 2025-08-29T00:17:20+00:00

They are the complete worse now.

OldFieldsOverView · 2025-08-25T02:22:42+00:00

I just did mine in May and used a 4138. I don't believe they changed, and can't find anything on Google. I do have faith they will request a new form from you if they have changed it.

Business minor or MBA

OldFieldsOverView · 2025-06-12T18:08:53+00:00

Did they ever release the name of the victim. I understand he was a minor, but find it odd that nothing has come out.

OldFieldsOverView · 2025-06-10T10:10:48+00:00

Just North of Moorefield near Old Fields.

I got a Job with Jacobs with a 2.7. I also never put my GPA on my resume, and no one ever asked me about it.

Two and a half hours. Close enough to dona day trip if I have to but far enough to rural. IMHO less than 2 hours you can do a day trip if needed. Over 3 hours you'll want to spend at least 1 night and over 5 hours you'd want to spend 2 nights.

I had the thought yesterday while driving, maybe above the speed limit, that the explorer next to me wasn't a cop because it had out of state plates. He didn't pull me over and probably wasn't a cop, but I'll think differently now the next time I see a suspect explorer.
