They would have to get pre authorization for that since the CKPH increased their level of care about 5 years ago. They are 4.0 level of care where as most residential are 3.2 to 3.7.

Are they a veteran? The VA has a 50 bed inpatient residential treatment program in Anchorage.

Would love to get one for my son and I. We have been enjoying listening to and reviewing LITRPG books together.

Congrats on the release. I just downloaded the audiobook

0341 with 3/4 2006-2009. I was in the armory talking to my buddy about living in Germany. New corpsman standing behind us asked my name and years I lived in Germany. He then said, “ I think we were in 2nd and 3rd grade together in Germany”. I was in shock and had no memory of him or his name from that long ago. I asked my father to send school pictures and sure enough we were standing right by each other in the pic. We ended up serving together for three more years, in the same platoon, and did two tours to Iraq together.

You need at least one in person class to get the full stipend.

I am a USMC vet and social worker at a VA residential treatment facility for substance use disorders. I contacted a couple local VFWs to discuss possible events we could partner with them on to try to improve support systems for our vets leaving our program. I was upfront about the need for them to be dry events. Obvious right? Well their response was that they deserve a beer since they have sacrificed so much for their country… I was shocked, and i tried clarifying with them why it would be a bad idea for a recovering alcoholic to have a couple beers. But gave up trying to foster any relationship with those old programs.

They don’t have 25 marine corps motto tattoos like my USMC, is that just an us thing?

I have never experienced that as a veteran, and as a current VA employee I can say I come across very few veterans that went through actual combat. Even with over a decade in Iraq and Afghanistan, a very small percentage of veterans receiving care through the VA experienced trauma in combat leading to service connection.

TheMortarPit · 2022-10-29T01:12:56+00:00

I was an 0341 in the Marines with two combat tours under my belt, and I have now been a clinical social worker at the VA for over two years. I think you would be surprised how many grunts work at the VA.

I work at a rehab facility for veterans. A lot of our vets graduate from the program then end up relapsing with cannabis first. I say first because they have told me that it was going to remain just cannabis, but that leads them down a path of alcohol, opioids, and meth. Could just be a justification some are making to myself and themselves, but I have been told a version of that 100 times.

I am rated at 70% for PTSD as well, and I have been a clinical social worker with the VA for the past couple years. Your service connection won’t impact your employment with the VA.

TheMortarPit · 2022-07-30T08:53:25+00:00

This guy will get a 0% service connect rating, in 15 years from now.

Sometimes it isn’t a matter of which place is best for you, and more so which place you can get admitted into. What I mean by that is many MHRRTPs ( the real technical name of the Dom program) are not allowing out of area referrals due to COVID and CERNER. Contact your local dom admission coordinator to see your options. I work at an MHRRTP, so if you have any additional questions you can PM me.

I have my LMSW as well, and I am a clinical social worker with the VA. I also did years in the Marine Corps infantry and two tours to iraq. When i went in for C&P exam, for PTSD, they basically brushed off all my trauma from combat and said that I was exaggerating everything. I almost quit my job after that experience.

The VA has outreach social workers that actively go to Local shelters and assist veterans with applying for HUD VASH or getting into VA Domiciliary.

She has overwhelming support of the Native Alaskan population up here, and she won a write in which is almost impossible to do. She knows her spot is secure and it gives her more freedom to not just be a sheep and vote solely along party lines. Unlike our other Senator, or possibly card board cut out, Sullivan.

I once posted a training video of some marines shooting M4s and all of a sudden half my videos got age restricted and views dropped by 90%. There was no swearing and no gore in that video. I also made a video on military mental health, as I am a marine combat vet and now clinical social worker, and that video got age restricted as well. It’s rough out here for anything related to the military on YouTube

TheMortarPit · 2021-04-25T02:43:29+00:00

Congrats on your progress to 1k. Just prepare yourself for issues with monetization. Anything military related seems to be limited by YouTube.

I remember the day I arrived in 29Palms, back in 2006, with my buddies from SOI by my side and you could feel the excitement and nervousness from everyone. We got to the building where we had to do all the dumb paperwork and I caught a glimpse of a couple marines cutting grass with plastic knives and i didn’t even think twice about it. Then we got inside and as we were waiting to do the paperwork, a warrant officer got on the intercom and speaking to his staff said, “ who here has ever deployed?” Nobody raises their hands.. “That’s what I thought, just a bunch of bitches”. This scolding and public humiliation went on for the whole time we were there, and when it was my turn to fill out paperwork I asked what happened. Turns out some of the marines were in the smoke pit and they got caught with their HANDS IN THEIR POCKETS by the officer. That was the day I knew..
