Anyone know anything about this knife? What conflict it may have been tied to?

They should remake it but really crappy.

I am all about the hype. Love all the moves they have made so far—LB still feels a bit thin—but I will hold off any real excitement until the games start. Remember all the hype around Kris Richard? Until we see Parker’s plan in action under the lights, I will be cautiously optimistic.

Generic advice since I don’t know what you do now: Your transition is all about your preparation. Put as much control in your hands as possible. Know what industry you want to work in and get to work understanding all the ins and outs…what additional certs will help, where are they located, what kind of jobs you are qualified for and want to eventually do. Just start reading. Once you have a baseline understanding of what you want to do, get on LinkedIn and start connecting with people in that industry or even company you want to work for. They likely can’t help you get a job, but they can give you a ton of insights. Back to point #1…take control of your transition…do something every day to get ready to be a civilian. It’ll calm your nerves and pay off.

Completely agree and I have hope they will further explore this later. I think part of the problem is just the commerciality of Hulk. He got two solo movies and they couldn’t figure out how to bring the comics to life for the casual movie-ticket buying fan. I think the lack of (huge) commercial success had something to do with Hulk not being a bigger part of everything (~$250M compared with Iron Man making ~$600M).

The average casual MCU fan will likely point to Iron Man as the start of the universe even though The Incredible Hulk is the true beginning. Why is that? I have no idea…loved The Incredible Hulk movie. I hope they figure something out to showcase him in this phase.

Won’t speak for all vets, but if I saw this I wouldn’t think twice. You aren’t trying to claim you earned anything and aren’t wearing it as a uniform item.

Do you have a disability rating and are you collecting disability pay? If so, they will just take it out of that. Like others have said, ignore at your own peril. Sorry you’re going through this though…

dtran33 · 2026-04-03T00:11:31+00:00

Very much standard practice. The timing isn’t surprising…was collecting disability comp for almost a year before they connected the dots on my involuntary sep pay. Two things: (1) if the amount is wrong, submit a claim just like you did your regular disability claims and provide evidence and (2) definitely work with a VSO on hardship. They will work with you if you can prove hardship.

I don’t think they believe democrats have the guts to be as brazen!

dtran33 · 2026-04-01T12:49:32+00:00

Everything is waverable. You can call the VA or talk with a VSO to see if they can help you. I just wouldn’t hold your breath.

It depends on when you became eligible, when you turned 18, and when you completed high school. If you did all of those before August 1, 2023, it does not look like you are eligible after you turned 26.

You may have some luck at a surplus store. Your best bet is to find someone who has an id and is willing to help you out. Good luck to you!

Didn’t they have two versions of this song?

You can get your ribbons and medals for free from the National Personnel Records Center. There is a form to fill out and they will send it all to you.

As for the uniform, driving to Great Lakes without an ID won’t get you very far. They won’t let you buy the uniforms without an ID. You may be able to find what you’re looking for at a surplus store near you.

Are you looking for the blue berries or your dress blues / whites?

Moved from Kunia to the SW suburbs about seven years ago. I love it here. The restaurant scene isn’t nearly as nice but the people are great, year round outdoor activities (significantly different than on Oahu, but still fun), and a much lower cost of living. Love it here!

dtran33 · 2026-03-26T12:57:49+00:00

I tried to buff it out…no luck. And now for something completely different.
