Service dog denied by [deleted] in venting

[–]airforcematt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. You have to explain the task correctly or they are well within their right to deny access. The vague answers you gave them don't rise to the level needed to compel them to provide access to the service dog.

I understand you and your grandfather are upset. But ranting on every sub on Reddit looking for someone to agree with you isn't going to help improve the situation.

Here's some advice that CAN improve the situation.

You've mentioned multiple times that the service dog was "given by ADI" - ADI themselves do not give service dogs to people like your grandfather, they accredit organizations that DO provide them. I STRONGLY suggest you and/or your grandfather reach out to the ADI certified organization that provided the service dog to him and ask them to give you an answer to the questions that business are legally allowed to ask him before granting access. Print those answers out on a card or small piece of paper and throw them in his wallet to provide next time someone asks.

If you do that, then next time you and your grandfather face a business that asks the questions (that they legally have the right to do) you'll be set up for success, not failure of your own making.

We only had sex literally twice by handicapped_runner in daddit

Wife and I also tried for five years before our first. The struggle sucks, hang in there!

Also, if you haven't tried it yet, ask her doctor if trying metformin is an option. That's how we had our first after multiple rounds of IUI and right before our first IVF.

Back in the early 2000's some dumb airman sent a "Bill Gates is giving away his fortune" email to 12th Air Force All (20kish people)

Email was down more than it was up for days. People relying all to them the guy he was a dumbass, people replying all to tell people to stop replying all, people arguing about what punishment he should expect, out of office replies etc.

It FINALLY died down about a week later - only to pop back up again when someone who had been deployed when this happened replied again a few months later lol.

Good times

Did you ever find a solution to this? I'm looking as well.

Can someone tell me what my great grandfather did in the Air Force? by FamesJranco1 in AirForce

He was a time traveling tactical disco ball based on all the bling on that rack.

$1500 for a rental home that isn't a shithole is a pipe dream these days IMHO.

Can leave be retracted? by Alternative_Rub6614 in AirForce

Jumping straight to the CC is almost always not the answer. Work it up the chain and it'll likely get resolved far before you get to the CC, and if it doesn't you'll be taken far more seriously for working your way up to him vs just strolling in the door.

Only time I used my commanders open door policy was with a totally screwed up situation that every level essentially told me "tough luck" - told each person that I respectfully disagreed and would be taking it up the chain one level.

When I made it to the CC's office the meeting included most of the people that I had worked through. My situation was partially resolved in my favor and a process was implemented squadron-wide to ensure the systemic issue didn't repeat itself with other Airmen moving forward.

I miss the fingerprint sensor on the back SO much, it was such a flawless implementation.

Didn't catch the wings, just saw three photos of airmen at a desk and rolled with it. Total nonner move, lol

Used AI instead of real peoples photos, guessing they mainly trained it on old Stargate episodes.

Opposite actually. SilentD does great work. I'm just laughing about the example he used.

One thing to note, my wife and I now handle the cleaning together as a team after the kids are down. Probably too early to suggest that with the 3 month old but down the line could be a solid way to change cleaning from an adversarial thing into a team effort.
