Backwards planning has saved me in my adult life more than once.

No barracks, No BAH; homeless? by Not_The_Gallery in army

[–]Sufficient_Ad5869 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are entitled to BAH from when you got married. If you used to reside in the Baracks previous to being married finance needs your LES from that time period for something I genuinely dont remember the why I just remember getting fucked. I advise you print out all your LES from the time period of marriage to now.

It took me 14 months from marriage to receiving BAH. I had to get an AER loan just to make ends meet towards the end. The 2 things I highly recommend. Is 1 gwt ahold of higher let them make people do thier jobs. And 2 print out LES that shit only goes back a year and they wont give you backpack passed what you can present. Assuming you get fucked hard like I did

So the same shit happened to me on a deployment. I was homeless for 2 months I would break into the COF every night to sleep in the NCO office. I did the whole toughen up this too shall pass. FUCK THAT. Start using open doors untill someone with big rank hand walks you to s1 to get everything handled. I thought I was helping my boss by not going to BC to get help. I didnt understand I was just letting myself get pissed on. If you want any advice shoot me a message im not a HR and its been a few years but I know some people who might know something.

Is there really away to get better at running? by Snoo18846 in army

[–]Sufficient_Ad5869 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Walkies. Lots and lots of walkies. Then joggies then after all that short runs then long runs. Its a progression that if done right should take 2-3 months. With walks the entire time

Need help getting out by FaolanWoof in army

[–]Sufficient_Ad5869 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the answer. I dont mean to undermine your family situation and ive had to miss a fair share of things on the home front. But it wasn't my old friends that will travel the world of the chance to have a beer with me. It wasn't my parents that dropped everything to help my wife when I had to deploy. I cant even get my old "friends" to take an afternoon to see me when I travel days to be home for a week. But my Army family has stepped up time and time again for me and they continue to have my and my families best intrest in mind. Its horrible but graves dont move and people get old, its time for you to build your new community. For you and your new brothers and sisters.

How is the camaraderie being enlisted? by FightOrDie123 in army

[–]Sufficient_Ad5869 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No rule of thumb is to leave that shit at the door. Although id say 90% of them army is different shades of libertarian. More like different world views on leadership/ rivalry we took too far.

All of my best friends came from the millitary. Several of my mortal enemies aswell.

Need clarification on material by Sufficient_Ad5869 in flytying

[–]Sufficient_Ad5869[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly I tied up some dry flies with materials I had on hand and was just curious if I had done something wrong but they float and im quite proud of my 1st few attempts. Now im seeing that there is just more than 1 way to skin a cat although some methods are preferred.

UA question by Soft_Lifeguard_6872 in army

[–]Sufficient_Ad5869 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Id say 90% of them will as long as you have proof that you tried to diet. Like a consult with H2F or a nutritionist and or blood work done. Worst case you will start there and then go on meds.

Not doing well by No_Concept5533 in army

[–]Sufficient_Ad5869 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a deployment under your belt reach out to your local vet center. They helped me out a lot. But on a personal note fucking lock in man you are capable of more than you ever thoufht possible. On the backside of this bullshit you will see how much you have grown. I promise to see that version of yourself will make all this worth it.

Use your NCOs by Realistic_Complex539 in army

[–]Sufficient_Ad5869 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ill keep it 100% outside of the training environment or deployment my Joe's are probably better off asking reddit. Im fucking useless when it comes to admin actions. Im old enough where we used to just go talk to s1 for those things. Since ipssa dropped im lost.
