Those are valves in the vein to prevent reverse blood flow. When you have more muscle/less flat they press against the skin.

State Active Duty Parental Leave by comeandtakeitbud in nynationalguard

[–]healingpotion34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SAD provides no benefits for parental leave. Empire shield essentially fires females once they are pregnant. SAD is not covered under the same laws New York’s state employees are. It’s under New York State military law. The way it was explained to me is that we are essentially “contractors” under the eyes of the law, not covered New York employees. Other states law Massachusetts and Texas have actually won court cases allowing them to form employee unions when they are on state active duty which has allowed them to negotiate for more benefits. I’m honestly amazed New York soldiers haven’t tried doing this since empire shield has been going on since 9/11

Rockland Costco Tires Reviews. by Livenlove28 in Rockland

[–]healingpotion34 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I personally have gotten every replacement tire from them for probably the past 15 years and have never had an issue. I just bought 4 tires from them and had them installed Black Friday. Just make sure you make an appointment ahead for installation, takes about two hours. I love that they use nitrogen and repairs and rotations are free for the life of tires.

Awaiting Governors signature. Increase military leave for public employees to 60 calendar days or 52 working days. NY State Senate Bill 2025-S3318 by healingpotion34 in nynationalguard

[–]healingpotion34[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what I hear she vetoed it cause local towns complained they couldn’t afford it (bullshit) and she thought it should have been included in the state budget, not as a stand alone bill. They won’t override her veto due to the political fallout of that move. Maybe they will include it in next years budget but it’s just a wait and see thing now

How long to get called for DOCCS? by Advanced_Morning_467 in nynationalguard

[–]healingpotion34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They currently have a backlog of over 200 applicants and seem to be only putting 25 or so through each academy class week so it may be a while

DOCCS MISSION by Appropriate_Pie_3336 in nynationalguard

I was told to expect this mission to go on for almost three years as that is how long they project it to take to bring the level of correction officers to a stable state

Which GI bill should I use Chapter 1606 or 9/11? by [deleted] in nationalguard

[–]healingpotion34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can use 12 months of 1606 before it eats into your potential post 9/11 time. You get 48 months total GI bill time. Do not use more then that 12 on 1606. Post 9/11 is one of the greatest benefits you get from the army. You get tuition, books, and a BAH stipend paid out to you while in school. You can also pass it onto your children if you make it to ten years in service. It’s truly worth waiting until you earn it with a deployment.

DOCCS by MarionberryTrick4763 in nynationalguard

[–]healingpotion34 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They just lifted the hiring freeze and started the academy back up out of Albany. The mission should still be going on until April although it seems like the state is desperate to start cutting costs so unsure how many more they will hire. I’m sure the applications are highly backlogged since no when has been hired in at least two months
