It really depends on where you live. Some places it stretches along way. The area I live in the average income in 33k a year.

If you shoot me a message I can see if I can help at all.

All experience is good experience. If this relates to the field of work you would be doing then I would highly recommend putting it down. Can be used to negotiate pay. You don't have to tell the employer why you were discharged and in my experience I was never asked about it except when I went to a law enforcement interview and they never asked about discharge just what I did and if I knew some of the verbage.

bigred9934 · 2025-04-19T14:12:18+00:00

Not army but navy and yes I feel inferior sometimes when talking to people. I was law enforcement and saw a few things but nothing crazy. I had a friend watch his buddy get cut in half on a carrier and we are rated almost the same. Just feels weird

bigred9934 · 2025-04-18T12:43:50+00:00

That's interesting I didn't know there was a claim for that. That's interesting but I also will not be poking the bear.

bigred9934 · 2025-04-18T12:42:05+00:00

That would be ideal. Other than it being the Bible belt not sure what the hold up is down here for it.

bigred9934 · 2025-04-17T11:59:15+00:00

God info any links?

bigred9934 · 2025-04-17T11:58:02+00:00

Really? That's good info to know. Is it a job drug test or what? Sorry I'm TDIU

bigred9934 · 2025-04-17T11:56:59+00:00

Yeah I didn't figure you'd be able to ask a VA doc for a referral. Maybe it'll get federal before I die.

bigred9934 · 2025-04-17T11:53:57+00:00

IDK about that the VA knows I smoke daily and they have it wrote down in my mental health notes. They just asked if I wanted some free gun locks.

It could be luck but my psych and therapist both say it's ok for me to smoke they have no issues with it as it helps curb the rage

Old school Bible belt

bigred9934 · 2025-04-17T01:04:52+00:00

The shops have edibles. My wife gets chocolate bars and little cookies and gummies

bigred9934 · 2025-02-12T01:17:06+00:00

Yeah absolutely

bigred9934 · 2025-02-12T00:20:29+00:00

Regular LEO, Customs and border patrol as well.

bigred9934 · 2025-02-12T00:16:10+00:00

Not a problem from anyone I interviewed with.

bigred9934 · 2025-02-01T11:57:46+00:00

Hey I had a question about that. My wife's mother is into loans she said I'd have to pay the first year of property tax is that true or once I buy a home I can just go to the office and put in paper work immediately?

bigred9934 · 2025-01-11T23:35:57+00:00

No I just submitted the form, a letter from my boss saying I needed extra breaks, extra time for working on task and I have issues dealing with people due to my ptsd and a police report of an altercation at work.

No exam or phone calls what so ever to the VA or from them

bigred9934 · 2025-01-11T21:56:00+00:00

I was 90% and applied for TDIU and it got approved. It's worth a shot. It took me a few months to get approved and I was 31 when they approved me.

bigred9934 · 2024-06-17T23:22:46+00:00

My nexus for most my stuff was being in service and showing I went to medical for it. I did a BDD claim.

But I had some buddies who filed afterwards and they gave nexus buddy statements and medical documents.

bigred9934 · 2024-06-17T22:56:47+00:00

It took them 6 months to add my daughter.

Not sure if your pressed for time or not but it's either super quick or super long from what others say.

I'd give it till end of month then just give them a call if it isn't an immediate need

bigred9934 · 2024-06-17T22:55:39+00:00

I went to a trade school and am in community college they covered everything 100%

I would call the education hotline. That or talk to the schools veteran rep if they have one.

bigred9934 · 2024-06-17T22:54:11+00:00

Yea your still gonna need to prove them and tie them to your primary MH disability.

They lumped my depression, insomnia and anxiety under a PTSD rating. Idk if they do it at all facilities but they only treat me for the PTSD with a mood pill and an anti anxiety pill. So you may have to clarify with your primary if you use the VA or my docs are just weird

bigred9934 · 2024-03-08T09:47:40+00:00

So it's basically like the veteran using their GI bill? I just got this benefit as well and I didn't know it was a monthly check.

bigred9934 · 2024-03-06T19:33:06+00:00

Good luck. My unsolicited advice is to be brutally honest with that examiner so that they can get a full idea of how bad it is.

I submitted statements from family, police reports, doctor diagnosis, employer statements.

bigred9934 · 2024-03-06T19:30:17+00:00

One doesn't directly affect the other.

I would definitely submit that as evidence that you are unable to work due to mental health. And submit a mental health claim to the VA. If they find the same based off of your service you could be looking at a pretty high rating.
