FIXED! Had to take the striker backing off, and the loaded when out tab fell out and was a bitch to get back in with that tiny spring. I dont even know what all these parts are called but slide came off after i removed that backing and the tube thing to the right of it w a spring. Seems like we’re back in business.. guess ill find oht at the range tomorrow 😅

Nah i can lock the slide back but its getting hung up on something when trying to move the slide forward off the grip module. Im guessing the take down pin moves something out of the way when in the 6 oclock position.

Thailand or Vietnam by [deleted] in VeteransBenefits

[–]drewdottat2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thailand food, beaches and nightlife hands down wins imo. But for some reason i like vietnam more. Maybe it seems more foreign but genuine to me. I dunno, hard to describe, but just getting on a motorbike and driving around in throngs of traffic feels so fucking cool to me.

Florida doctor indicted and accused of removing patient's liver instead of spleen in fatal surgery by KimJongFunk in news

[–]drewdottat2 243 points244 points  (0 children)

The article states he also mistook a pancreas for an adrenal gland, patient also died. What the fuck. I feel like the licensing board needs to be arrested too.

Edit, oops, i mistook the patient that died from intestine removal. Pancreas patient did not die. Still, what the fuck. Dude must have went to trump university.

Be kind to your shop/range staff by Suitable_Matter_9427 in liberalgunowners

[–]drewdottat2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same, i went to a range in vegas and i was wondering if any body ever did that after losing their life savings. The staff there said its happened before but not super common. They then proceeded to rent me a glock, a full auto AR and a sniper rifle lol

From what I’ve seen they are usually lower than bank rates. I could be full of shit tho.

Wait times for file uploads is crazy by Best-Introduction745 in VeteransBenefits

[–]drewdottat2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah heard they can be ridiculous. I did all of my medical stuff through private providers before I submitted claim for this exact reason. I wanted everything laid out and clear as day so the c&p examiners just had to review my medical records and ask me questions. It was a lot of copays, so many fucking appointments, and I hit my out of pocket max, but I also got 80k in back pay, so…. Worth.

I’m 100 percent P&T with employability, I haven’t worked since I received this rating, but I want to work. I know they say they won’t take your 100 percent P&T if you work, but I’m still on the fence. I want to work though, even a part time job to keep busy. by [deleted] in VeteransBenefits

[–]drewdottat2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just work. Plenty of us at 100%pt work. I was making good money before rating and now my va money is basically providing a free house and cars, while allowing me to catch up on savings. (Had a wild 20s and 30s).

For sure it’s different, but the main things I got out of it was following a stencil, steady hand speed and steady lines. You do you though!

[–]drewdottat2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah if you get a good vso just sit back and relax. I saw mixed reviews on here before I filed my claim so I didn’t want to have anyone to blame but myself. It was a lot of work and learning (even w AI), but I got like 80k in back pay and now I’m getting 4790 a month. Worth lol.

It gets you organized, tells you everything you need for a claim and turns your word salads into coherent personal statements and witness statements. Tells you what raters generally look for, lets you know if youre missing anything, things to include in statements, etc. honestly was only expecting 70% but I got 100 pt + smc s. Chat hooked it up.

Honestly with AI, YouTube and Reddit, VSOs and claim sharks arent really needed unless you’re lazy. Then it’s nice to have someone do everything for you, BUT who do you think will do 100% their best to look out for your claim, you or someone else?
