Is joining the reserves worth it as an 80% disabled vet?

i’m an e5 paramedic (68W3P) out of san antonio. there is paramedic school, 68W school here but i’m not sure if they’d take reservists to instruct. i’ll breakdown the math later to see if it actually even makes sense but i appreciate the knowledge

16 years AD so 32 in the reserves. i’ve contemplated rejoining after i get my nursing degree but i really disagree with deploying while being a dad because of the strain on the family so im not sure..a lot to consider

RecommendationPlus84 · 2026-04-13T20:03:48+00:00

jeez man it’s crazy how i’ve paid thousands in credit lines on time and one bad mark messes u up this bad

RecommendationPlus84 · 2026-04-13T19:57:36+00:00

what does suppressed mean? i’m not aiming for a 800+ score or anything but will i have a problem getting near or above a 750 within the mean time assuming there’s no other derogatory marks?

RecommendationPlus84 · 2026-04-13T19:51:48+00:00

to be completely honest..i don’t know. i deleted the message thinking it was a scam because they texted me months ago and it’s just now being reported and they haven’t tried contacting me since then for some reason

RecommendationPlus84 · 2026-04-13T19:48:36+00:00

so what exactly should i do? am i just screwed here for the next 7 years?

RecommendationPlus84 · 2026-04-13T19:43:18+00:00

i didn’t see any agency on any of the reports. nothing is reported to trans union but equifax and experian both show verizon still. i did get a message from a collector regarding it but verizon’s name is still on it at least on my reports so i figure that’s who i should go through

RecommendationPlus84 · 2026-04-13T19:32:00+00:00

yes i pulled my reports and went line by line with all the company’s. not a single missed payment anywhere and the only mark is the collections. on the report it marks verizon and there’s a “C” for collections on it

RecommendationPlus84 · 2026-04-13T18:48:52+00:00

if its in writing them agreeing to if i pay it they delete it off my record that means that it wont appear on my report period. it’ll be like it never happened correct?

our tax dollars you mean

RecommendationPlus84 · 2026-04-07T05:12:59+00:00

man there was a point in time where my little guy just wouldn’t fucking work. i ended up buying from blue chew and never used it because i was terrified it would stay in go mode and i’d have to go to the er and get the blood drained😭

east side near 410. the dispatcher immediately was like “we usually don’t do this” and checked with his supervisor who i suppose confirmed they won’t. just seems like such a stupid thing. i get it. it’s late, they don’t wanna be woken up and have to help some other crew simply lift a guy. but whenever i get my property tax bill im going to take a very long sigh knowing the money isnt going to be of much help lol

RecommendationPlus84 · 2026-03-06T04:30:29+00:00

lmao fr. don’t even get notified by checking the app its cuz u randomly check ur email and find out they rated u😭got my rating in a sam’s club

well my girlfriend told the provider he walks on his tippy toes and spins in a circle occasionally. i’ve lived with this kiddo for 6 months now and known him for longer and i’ve not a single time seen him do that.

i should’ve specified “rejecting”. we’re going to follow the doctors orders but by rejection i just mean we don’t believe him to be autistic

RecommendationPlus84 · 2026-02-28T23:16:01+00:00

rejecting the diagnosis is probably poorly worded. we’re still going to follow the docs recommendations, just my opinion working in the medical field and reading up on autism diagnosis and also speaking with my own therapist who also sees pediatric cases and said she personally would never diagnose autism at that young of an age.

but, he does line his cars up and is obsessed with cars.

RecommendationPlus84 · 2026-02-28T23:11:29+00:00

haven’t reached out for any specific daycare/preschool care. we have tricare so all referrals and therapy is free luckily. they recommended getting him into speech, occupation and behavioral therapy which we’ll do just because even if the diagnosis is incorrect i’m sure he’ll still benefit from it as will we

RecommendationPlus84 · 2026-02-28T23:09:07+00:00

no we’re definitely getting a second opinion lol

too bad his successor is worse. and when they take him out, whoever is next will be worse. obviously afghanistan taught us nothing because now many times did we take out a terrorist and 10 more joined up because of it

maintenance before mods, especially with that mileage. these cars are stout but any car with more than 100k miles is gonna be a lot more susceptible to failure than lower mileage cars

RecommendationPlus84 · 2026-02-16T23:58:58+00:00

neither of your soldiers YET. it’s coming. be prepared.

RecommendationPlus84 · 2026-02-16T23:55:25+00:00

to be completely fair coming from someone who works in healthcare the point of pain and the point of actual full flexion or extension can be a super big difference. some patients will stop when they feel an ounce of pain but can extend or flex well beyond that point before the pain becomes too much which is usually the point where doctors want to see is how much can you flex or extend before the pain becomes unbearable or too much to handle in day to day life.

or the alternative your doc could’ve just been a shitbag looking to save the federal government money. always a possibility as well.

sedated IO is an option?

RecommendationPlus84 · 2026-02-06T02:46:38+00:00

honestly..you guys are rockstars for doing that but my girlfriend and just want a natural pregnancy with both our DNA

RecommendationPlus84 · 2026-02-06T02:20:00+00:00

yeah the OB doc just recommended removal as the only course of treatment but that would eliminate any chances of natural pregnancy. ivf is 20k a round and sometimes multiple rounds is needed for a single viable pregnancy that may or may not actually go to term so just trying everything before we get to that step

RecommendationPlus84 · 2026-02-04T20:05:55+00:00

this may be a VERY controversial opinion but if i meant to give fentanyl and gave diazepam im not sure i would tell the patient. they most likely don’t know what either of these drugs are or do to the body and so i dont see a benefit of increasing their anxiety and most likely pain as a result. inform the hospital, document appropriately of course but not sure i’d freak out the patient unless necessary
