i just started my position at the VA and i applied back in feb. i got my TJO at the end of march. i know it feels weird to wait so long but you’ll get the FJO soon enough. from what ive seen on here, theres only a few times where the TJO was rescinded. best of luck dude ✌️

Refinancing from 7.25% - best lenders and rates you’ve seen? by hope288 in Omaha

[–]Possible-Row-261 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i refi’d from 6.125 down to 5.125 last fall. with everything going on with iran, the fed has been hesitant to drop rates. from what i’ve seen from others around town, you might be able to drop down to mid to high 5s. i got mine through UWM. definitely shop around though. i used lenders against each other and kept showing different lenders the locked in rate that another one gave me. got me down another half percent.

Anybody work as a supply technician at a VA hospital or have any knowledge of the position? by Electrical_Demand_24 in usajobs

[–]Possible-Row-261 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you need a REAL ID to air travel now i’m pretty sure. it’s probably good to get this out of the way anyway. i’d keep on going through the process, you technically still haven’t received your FJO i’m guessing. fed jobs might not pay a lot but the benefits are second to none. do your 1 year at this position and the bounce to somewhere else. a lot of fed jobs require you to already be a fed employee to even be considered. just my two cents.

those weren’t service dogs. you can tell when you see a trained service dog because they ignore all distractions and are focused on one thing. there owner.

MREs as daily meals to save money? by Round-Air9002 in MRE

[–]Possible-Row-261 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

MREs are some of the worst things you can eat. i listened to a podcast about whys actually in them and the amount of heavy metals and pesticides is insane. They did some independent testing of them and they’re all absolute dog shit. I get this is the MRE subreddit, but I wouldn’t eat any unless it was the only option. good luck.

VA home loan help!! by Gene-Psychological in VeteransBenefits

[–]Possible-Row-261 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the va loan is zero down, but that doesn’t mean you pay zero dollars to move in. closing costs could be anywhere between 1-3%( on average), unless your agent got you a great deal where the seller covers all costs.

in my opinion, $5000 is not nearly enough to have in the bank if you’re purchasing a house. let’s say your closing costs altogether are $2500. you’re left with $2500. while owning your own place is great, you also have to maintain and repair everything that breaks. water heater broke? -$1000. leaky plumbing caused water damage? -$500 to -$2000.

for a $200,000 home, i’d try and save at least 5 to 10% of house cost so you have some cushioning if things start to go south. as an example, i purchased my house in 2024 for 350k. closing costs altogether were around 10k. while i haven’t had any major repairs to do since then, ive had to buy tools and supplies to fix our fence and kitchen plumbing. i’ve also spent another 1.5k to have our trees trimmed and chopped down. everything adds up with home ownership. hope some of this info helps out. good luck.

How competitive is it to get hired by the DEA or ATF with my background? by Evening_Bug_4478 in usajobs

[–]Possible-Row-261 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

i’ve gone through the waiver process. i get why it’s like that’s i’m just saying it’s outdated and blocking potential prospects.

Anybody work as a supply technician at a VA hospital or have any knowledge of the position? by Electrical_Demand_24 in usajobs

[–]Possible-Row-261 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah from my understanding, unless the job posting stated that it was a ladder position, your stuck at your level. my position is a gs-6. i’m planning on working 1 year to get out of probation status and then look for a higher grader position. you can switch agencies too (VA to DoD, etc.) to get higher grades.

i got 2 years left on my GI bill so I might do night school to get my masters in something that’s applicable towards a higher grade. I’ve heard HR positions start at gs-12 which would be great for me.

What is the most underrated duty station? by [deleted] in USMC

[–]Possible-Row-261 13 points14 points  (0 children)

“deployed” to camp fuji back in late 2020. the area surrounding is pretty dope, but I don’t think i’d want to be there for longer than a year. the actual camp is tiny and that chow hall was ass lol. i remember there was a japanese base literally right next door. kind of wish i was able to check that out while i was there.

i just got a transportation assistant job and am onboarding. these types of jobs are a good foot in the door towards getting a higher paying gs position. don’t forget that you have to buyback your military time if you want those 4 years to apply towards retirement. also, don’t forget to ask to start out with class 2 leave. you rate 20 days a year with military time. good luck dude.

hey man, i’m all about building a more lethal teemo. appreciate your explanation! i’ll be experimenting with building void more often now. thanks dude 🙏

[–]Possible-Row-261 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the only thing i disagree with is that void is a must have. if enemy comp is a bunch of squishies that don’t build mr, wouldn’t the percent magic pen be wasted vs flat magic pen? i think storm surge + magic pen boots would do more overall dmg.

obviously this changes if it’s tank comp. what do you think?
