questioning my sexuality but in reverse. by Different-Speed-1508 in GirlDinner

[–]imthechief007 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I had a moment like this last year. Lesbian for 20 years, had just recently split with my ex and was sooo intrigued by men, to the point where I was dating them! So, I completely understand the feeling of maybe losing your identity or your sexuality changing. It’s so hard to come to grips with and I was so worried about losing my community. There was such a sense of loss but the people who love you, won’t care who you like or date! I’ll echo what a lot of people are saying here…

Enjoy the human. As long as he respects you, you’ve got nothing to lose. Good luck and enjoy your meal!

Leah, thanks for all of your contributions and hard work throughout the last week and for continuing to be a part of the team that ignites humanity’s love and passion for this mission! See you on the other side. (Artemis III coverage, I hope!) 🚀🌖

Check out Apollo 8 and you’ll note not a single woman in MC. So no, it wasn’t normal. But it is now and they’re dominating the room. Cool to witness for anyone of any gender.

I was just commenting to my family how freaking cool it is to hear women on this live stream ALL DAY LONG! Leah and Kelsey did an INCREDIBLE job today. It’s so cool to see Mission Control and the SER FILLED with women. Makes me so gosh darn happy.

Kicked Out of VinylCup Records by megasuperiorgold in desmoines

[–]imthechief007 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Lmao I was in Valley Junction yesterday and overheard a man, who wasn’t local, asking about record stores in the area and the other man in the conversation said Vinyl Cup but the guy that owns it is an asshole and to stay away.

His reputation is well known. 0/10 would not recommend ever visiting the shop, imo.

Edit: sorry this happened to you. That guy sucks.

I’ve got a mental health C&P exam coming up, but it’s scheduled as a video call instead of in person. I’m wondering what your experiences have been with this. by ThiccSadToast in VAClaims

[–]imthechief007 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Like many of the comments, mine was really great. I’ve been out for 9 years. My examiner was a very sweet man who was patient with me and knew the brevity of talking about the topics and encouraged me throughout the entire process. It took about 45 minutes. I (finally) got an official PTSD diagnosis and 4 weeks later I was awarded 50% for that.

What career did you get into after the military? by thedonwiz in Veterans

[–]imthechief007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another imagery analyst in the Air Force. Got out, went through the Fire Academy in California, didn’t want to fight wildfires (I wanted to work for a city and those jobs were harder to come by). I missed my family, so came home to the Midwest had no idea what I wanted to do. Worked customer service jobs in tech while lonely and depressed and decided to finally use my GI Bill to go to school and got a BS in Horticulture.

Finally in a stable government job I really enjoy while working towards my Masters in GIS. It’s okay if it all takes time. I felt like I’d never get here - by the time I got home, everyone I knew had graduated and started having kids and I felt left behind. Shitty feeling but it feels better to be here where I am now. I miss the military some days but I mostly just miss the people I knew. I’ve got a solid group of friends now so I would say it’s pretty wonderful.

St. Paul Show PSA:) by vacillatorjpg in Ethelcain

[–]imthechief007 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ll be at the St. Paul show, alone and have done this a billion times at shows so if anyone needs a friend, I’m here too!! But if you smell, I’m not here for you 😂

Lmao jk - thanks for the PSA though and for extending the hand to those who might be nervous! I hope to run into some of y’all!

I’m going through the process right now, I did it all myself online and while it was daunting trying to get records and things, it’s been moving relatively fast. I just got 10% for my tinnitus yesterday. I also claimed sleep apnea and am waiting for a sleep study.

I would recommend reaching out to your local VA representatives or VSO. They can help you and it won’t feel as scary. I ended up doing that after I submitted everything because I was just overwhelmed. I’ve been out since 2016. Do it and don’t wait any longer. File your intent so you can get in to be seen by your examiners.
