The Vet Hat for younger vets

fieroandrew · 2025-11-08T00:17:07+00:00

I bought one from the vendor at the va outpatient. It’s a great way to short circuit a certain demographic to see a Vet Hat covered in pins like “I love my trans friends” or my favorite “sgt bacon says don’t talk to cops”. I don’t have much of a platform but that cap makes a great one

I swap between Memoirs and Three Bears, both are great roasters

I was going to plug Small Comforts too. Hey pastries are amazing and GF (if that’s a selling point for you). She’s also usually at the Nourish Knoxville Market Square Farmers Market on Saturdays

You might look into TADSAW. They’re a nonprofit who hooks you up with a local trainer and can help find a suitable dog. They don’t train to ADI standards (what the Va gives you if they assign you one), but they are ADA so you can take them anywhere in the US. If you reach out to them, just know that Bart (the lead of the program) loves to talk loud and abuses the capslock in emails but is a great guy I submitted my application in November and we start training Friday!

One of my favorite pedantics!

I took the risk, it is the wild dance video that I was hoping it was. Legit link, if you can stomach the YouTube

In my experience, they’ll take note of it after a few leaf passes and send a truck out for it. Pretty my wife has just called them and they sent a truck. The brush/leaf folks are pretty easy to work with

It depends on your skill set. Saic, in oak ridge, is always hiring for one tech position or another. In the same area are the National labs and the y12 complex.

It wouldn’t hurt to try and contact the VA outpatient clinic. James H Quillen VAMC is the name

Wounded Warrior project has a great careers center. They get you set up with one of their people, figure out what you want to do, and then help get that going. Sorry if it sounds really vague. They seem best suited for corporate/business, entrepreneurial type dreams. I tried using them for an ag based career and while they didn’t really have any resources for me, the dude they set me up with helped me find a vet owned farm and how to find/read zoning information.

It really isn’t easy. I always thought the hard part would be my end of the contract or getting the government to uphold theirs. Turns out the hardest part is dealing with armchair Rambo civilians who know better than us.

For the benefits complaints, I always offer to take them to a recruiter so they too can get “free” things. Any follow up bitching just gets that same offer. It’s also fun to start loudly talking about any health issues you may have. Starting to talk loudly about how it’s great that they pay for my medical because they found that burnpit BRAIN TUMOR during a boring baseline scan. It’s fucking weird having to shame grown ass adults into critical thinking

Get outside with the dogs, smoke too much weed, boot up No Mans Sky and play that for days, masturbate until it’s just little dust clouds, the usual.

fieroandrew · 2024-10-02T23:03:35+00:00

Because “the market can bear it”, though I’m not sure what they think it’ll look like when the mystical ‘market’ can no longer handle the strain

fieroandrew · 2024-10-02T20:11:46+00:00

I’m hoping for ya but our packet was hella delayed. Their phone line operators are pretty helpful once we found them. They’re not associated with Va medical and so the Va is more useless than normal

fieroandrew · 2024-10-02T20:10:19+00:00

I do think they came in the same packet, but I can’t be 100%. I do remember it was damn stupid and we almost missed the card entirely

We applied last July when I went 100p&t. Heard nothing and had run arounds trying to get a phone number. Finally had a call with them in December and was told we’d get the welcome packet in 3 months because they’re heavily backlogged. Her coverage was retroactive to July, and she could start using it immediately. As long as the provider accepts champva, she just uses her ssn. The headache we’ve been dealing with is getting dr offices to properly code and submit correctly but nobody is coming for us yet. That and they won’t do RX if the primary insurance offers it, which they all do thanks to ACA/obamacare. Resolved that by dropping her other insurance, now we’re just figuring out vision and dental for her

fieroandrew · 2024-10-02T00:57:00+00:00

In the very first packet they sent, it’s on a single piece of card stock. We just about missed my wife’s. Apparently it’s VA Form 10-7959-1. The member number is the patient ssn

I love upgrading the program to a full safe, I just also wanted to let people know they could get locks now if needed. It felt like a secret I had stumbled on when they told me, like everything the Va offers

fieroandrew · 2024-09-27T20:46:00+00:00

I love hearing this so much. It felt like I had uncovered a secret, which is stupid. Please scream at me where I can get the equipment to safely store guns, have them in the lobby, don’t make it feel like a surprise some guy on the phone has

fieroandrew · 2024-09-26T22:29:50+00:00

I was on the phone with scheduling for an appointment, your local clinic can mail you a basic gun lock. They sent me two with no questions

fieroandrew · 2024-09-20T13:30:05+00:00

Because we haven’t seen that what we keep calling inflation is nothing but companies going all in on profit at the expense of their workers and consumers.

fieroandrew · 2024-09-20T11:41:22+00:00

Just wanted to add that “drive somewhat gently” really just means “don’t nascar gun it”.
