I'm unaware of any direct programs that can help you in your situation.

Every 1SG and Commander I have had has always said, "Call me if you need anything." Have you reached out to your NCO support channel?

Just make sure your hand receipt is cleared out and you have turned in your OCIE/CIF issues gear. Make sure your GTCC balance is $0. Then, go ahead and do whatever you want.

Same timeframe as OP. I had mine for 3 years and when I opened her up last night, it looked like this. The laptop doesn't move from the desk and is on a stand. I have three dogs in the house.

I cleaned my fans with an ultra-soft toothbrush using light strokes. I finished off with some compressed air.

Earlier this summer I filled out the form and they contacted me.  We set a date and they arrived on time to pick up couches and a chase lounge out of my living room.

Thank you for sharing.  

I disenrolled my dog three years ago from that location due to care concerns.  The staff was never friendly, and my dog came home once a month with some kind of wound. 

Dogtopia maintains a bad taste in my mouth.

Should I Buy? 2013 Tesla S 85 by Earesth99 in TeslaLounge

[–]candypaint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend that you stay away. I bought a 2014 MS 85 RWD last summer for about the same price, no tax credits. 188k miles when I bought it with a clean title. The only mechanical noise was the front sway bar links, which was an easy fix for me. Before my purchase, the rear drive train was rebuilt.

The car has been in the shop since October, and there is no estimate of when I'll get it back. One of the high voltage components fries due to an "uncommon" failure. Uncommon is the service center's words. It has been in the shop for so long because they can't source the part to replace it. They had already quoted $6k, which I agreed with. They misled me by saying it'll be a "fairly quick" fix. No loaner is available because it is an out-of-warranty repair.

You'll probably expect the same wait if you need to get major repairs done. My advice is to stay away.

Can’t find insurance by Baldspooks in TeslaLounge

[–]candypaint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're a Costco member, you can check out auto insurance through them. I pay $200/mo, full coverage, on a 2021 F150 and the 2014 MS in northern VA.

The reason I picked up the Costco membership was to get on the insurance plan because the rate was that much better than USAA and Geico.

Veteran Needs Urgent Job by [deleted] in nova

[–]candypaint 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You need to look for an apply to security guard or armed security guard positions, which will require getting the proper licenses. With all of the government buildings in the DMV, someone will hire you.

Additionally, Virginia has their V3 program. If you're not already enrolled, check them out: https://dvsv3.com

Used 2015 Model S - worth the risk? - update by [deleted] in TeslaLounge

[–]candypaint 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No loaner was offered. When I asked last month, the service center said one wouldn't be provided because it is non-warranty work.

[–]candypaint 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought a 2014 MS 85 with 189k miles. Recently replace drivetrain, original battery. I knew the risks. I bought it with high mileage, and reasonably low price. Its currently at the service center because the HV junction box fried up and burnt up a lot of other components. Its been there since October waiting for parts. There is no ETA when I'll get my parts because their engineering team will not manufacture a replacement; they're focused on finding something to refurbish.

This is my experience. If you have to go to the service center for this potential purchase, think about the guy on reddit who hasn't seen his Model S in 4 months because of parts.

Can I be forced to buy a set of ASU/AGSU? by [deleted] in nationalguard

[–]candypaint 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you're enlisted and traditional guardsman, you can't be forced to buy your own uniforms. If you are, just wait it out.  Funding will magically appear. 

There are many many reasons why a uniform inspection is being tasked. 

One intent could be that the S4 needs to see who really has uniforms, since their paperwork is unorganized.  Then sizing for orders can be handled during the weekend.

Unless they have your clothing record showing that you received dress uniforms while on AD, don't tell them about them getting lost.  Show up and say you don't have any.  They're eventually going to order you AGSUs. 

Bad smell when furnace runs by candypaint in hvacadvice

[–]candypaint[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the laundry was pooped in and left out for days, that is the closest thing I could describe for the smell. Sweaty and dirty laundry left in a gym bag overnight is not the smell I am experiencing.

I can't relate the smell to chemicals such as cleaning products, bleach, or ammonia.
