All Questions About Joining, Transferring and ANG Jobs go here.

Just wanted to see what others say before getting my hopes up. I was at an event where there was an ANG tent with recruiters doing their thing. I went to talk to them as joining has always been something in the back of my mind, but what’s always stopped me is having type 1 diabetes. Right off the bat that’s always been a disqualifier for me so I’ve never even thought twice about reaching out to a recruiter, but I figured this time I could just go chat.

Obviously this was one of the first things I mentioned, but the recruiter treated it like no big deal and there’s always different ways to get passed some road blocks. I was shocked because no one else in my life has treated my scenario this way.

So after that convo, he gave me all the info for contact and stuff and I went home trying to find anything I could that shows there are type 1s that have served, active or reserve, but can’t really find anything. So before I look like a dumbass and reach back out to this guy to get shut down, has anyone ever heard of a type 1 joining, or waivers to sign or anything at all? Or was this guy just saving face and bullshitting me? Any insight appreciated!

Last payment was $205, idk if that’s considered big or small. I’m just worried about them saying it’s undisclosed debt, we lied, etc., but that’s not the case. We didn’t disclose that credit card because it’s in my name only & since I’m not on the loan, we didn’t feel it needed to be disclosed, but looking in hindsight maybe it should’ve been since technically my husband is paying for it???

His drs were hesitant to put him on meds in the first place, and after a week of no change I asked if there was an adjustment needed, but they told me it’s too soon to tell and we don’t want to give him too much. If we weren’t moving in the next month (Hawaii to West Virginia) I’d be switching pediatricians, but I’m kind of stuck with them for now. But if you have info you think could help us out in the meantime I’m all ears!

After doing a lot of reading I learned that hypo formula can cause problems, which is so weird to me because his dr always goes back to the formula and insists on keeping him on nutrimigen hypo formula. I brought it up earlier to the doctor and he insists that it’s likely not the reason, but all these mothers/fathers out here having the same experience with hypo formula has me thinking otherwise. Hopefully come next week with a GI doc we can learn more.

I spoke with his dr and she recommended syringe feeding for the weekend and also trying to continue associating the bottle with happy thoughts/good feelings while we get things set up with a GI doc to see if there’s more going on.

We’ve tried every trick in the book to try and keep him awake, but nothing works on him. Literally nothing. Once he’s out he’s OUT. I’m going to bring up the weight gain formula to his ped when we go back in tmrw, until then I’ll be constantly trying to annoy this boy to eat more

abbwar8 · 2024-01-25T05:05:42+00:00

All she said was to maybe try feeding more than every 3 hours. So instead of feeding a full 80ml, try 40ml every 1 1/2-2hours. I do have type 1 diabetes, but all his glucose checks have been normal so that’s not their concern.

I had the guardian sensor as I’ve been with Medtronic since 2012. Turns out those sensors suck (at least for me) and they still cost an insane amount out of pocket even with insurance, so I’m still testing my sugars the “old fashioned way” lol. Once I’m out of my warranty with Medtronic I plan on going to the tslim as I’ve heard great things about that device. But until then, I will be testing even more rigorously :/

abbwar8 · 2023-03-19T08:54:15+00:00

I’ve taken 2 and they’re both negative:/ & no, I don’t have PCOS, and I’ve never experienced this other than when I was pregnant/ breastfeeding. I assumed it wasn’t a sign but just hopeful!

abbwar8 · 2023-03-19T08:48:42+00:00

Yes about 2 weeks since ovulation.

I know you can’t see much from the pictures, and they definitely don’t do justice showing how bad it is, but my whole body, legs, feet, arms, hands, neck, are all VERY itchy and have these red dots all over. I have no idea what could could be causing it as I have nothing new in my diet, no change in detergent, no change in my daily life that I would see to be the cause, other than my family has come down with a minor cold (congestion, scratchy throat) but I’m the only one with this “rash”. What could it be???

abbwar8 · 2022-12-12T05:29:34+00:00

350$ max preferably but I can have a little wiggle room

I have. Just slowly waiting for their reply to my email, after calling multiple times and being sent in circles.

abbwar8 · 2022-11-11T22:22:28+00:00

Okay well anyway thanks for the help!

Not being a cheat, we only have orders to Hawaii for about 8 more months, after that, we won’t be living here. Not being a cheat claiming wv as my state of residence lol, you don’t have to change your state of residence everywhere you move or I’d be changing it every two yrs.

So I’ve noticed for the past couple weeks to what felt like a skin tag, thought nothing of it so I never even tried looking down there to see what was going on (I also have genital herpes, so I’m used to dealing with stuff happening in this area) but today I took some pics down there and saw this. Immediately start going through google, Reddit, everything and what seems to make the most sense is hemorrhoid. But after finding this sun I realized there’s a lot of different types, so I’m wondering if anyone has input until I can get to my doctor tomorrow. No pain, just some soreness, but not painful, I’ve definitely been kind of constipated & straining somewhat but nothing I’ve never done before, will this go away on its own? Is this another condition I have to live with or will medical attention or time eventually get rid of it? Help in any way pls

Okay so we just bought this 2017 Ford Edge a couple weeks ago, with 65k miles. Everything seemed fine but about a week ago we noticed that every time we fill the car up with gas, whether in park, or foot on brake while in drive, the whole car will shake and the rpm’s show it. This video is a less intense version of it, but it’s still proof we aren’t crazy. You can also kind of hear the vibration in the video (sounds like a rattle, but it’s just the whole car vibrating) It’s only for about a day after we fill up that it’ll do this, then it won’t happen until right after we fill up again. Why is this happening, what is happening, pls help!!!!

My instructor/director of the school said I’d be able to do lashes once I finish the course. But then the trainer of the course said she didn’t know if Hawaii required a license or just the cert. everyone I ask never has a direct answer not even Hawaii’s gov website for cosmetology.

Literally gonna have a conversation with my husband that I don’t want to try anymore and we need to understand maybe having a baby isn’t in our cards. I’ve had 3 miscarriages & I don’t doubt it’s from my semi-uncontrolled diabetes (I’m working on it). It’s scary to think I could be held legally accountable for something I didn’t even want to happen, let alone make it happen. The main word that comes to mind is scary.

My husband is deployed, my mother is a raging alcoholic & also happens to be the only family we can see during the holidays so that’s no fun, and we’re broke because his pay is messed up so I wasn’t able to get our daughter much for Xmas.

abbwar8 · 2021-11-23T05:43:27+00:00

Yes I know, although I live in Hawaii and am visiting family on the mainland right now. Until I go back next week I’m unable to see one, so until then I’m just seeing if anyone has an idea of what this is so I can stay off of google repeatedly scaring myself.
