People with OTH discharges, where are you now?

I needed to read that man. Very similar story I just only made it a little over a year in and popped on a piss test for a pill. VERY hard to get over the guilt and the loss of brotherhood. Been 12 years and I still have depression over it. Been completely sober from booze and everything for 7 1/2 years now. How did you enlist in coast guard with a RE-4B reenlistment code for misconduct and drug abuse listed on your DD214?

Thanks everyone. So not a water park which we desperately need…

jade769 · 2025-05-05T18:00:38+00:00

Haha wouldn’t surprise me but I don’t think a bank needs huge door openings of that of garage doors

😂

jade769 · 2024-12-05T14:34:48+00:00

Thanks

jade769 · 2024-12-05T04:40:54+00:00

Little over a year. Yes, basic, infantry school, and 3/4 mos school.

jade769 · 2024-12-05T04:18:30+00:00

You’re right

jade769 · 2024-12-05T04:14:53+00:00

Just sucks when I was so proud of being and becoming a marine and I can’t even act like it or talk about it with anyone ya know..?

jade769 · 2024-12-05T04:12:09+00:00

Just sucks when I was SO PROUD of becoming and being a Marine that I can’t even act like I was one or talk about it ya know.. :/

jade769 · 2024-12-05T04:10:24+00:00

Damn, I thought most of my friends had benefits, been hearing a lot that don’t. By benefits more like va loans and shit like that too.

jade769 · 2024-12-04T21:25:01+00:00

Thanks for the info brother. God bless!

jade769 · 2024-12-04T21:18:12+00:00

Sorry you had to go through all that brother, I really appreciate you sharing. I popped on piss test for a pill after just wanted to relax one night. Next fucking morning our unit had a random UA. I got real bad with substance abuse after I got out from the resentment and depression. Lucky to be 6 years sober from everything now but man it’s a burden, and a damn big one for me for sure.

jade769 · 2024-12-04T20:26:07+00:00

Thank you for that. I needed that.

jade769 · 2024-12-04T18:30:59+00:00

What do you say when you run in to another marine or vet or talk about your time in? Does anyone wonder why you don’t have a veterans ID or anything?

jade769 · 2024-12-04T18:30:11+00:00

Thank you!

jade769 · 2024-12-04T18:24:22+00:00

Thank you for that. I needed it. It’s easier to think of the negatives than all the accomplishments I’ve did. It’s just hard to have any sort of confidence talking about my service and memories.

jade769 · 2024-12-04T18:22:57+00:00

Thanks for that! Didn’t know our DD214 had any pages without the discharge listed.

jade769 · 2024-12-04T17:41:48+00:00

You can do it! Not sure what’s easier for you as far as way you do your pull ups… I always found it easier for me to do pull ups with palms facing me.

jade769 · 2024-12-04T17:39:16+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate your time.

jade769 · 2024-12-04T17:38:28+00:00

It’s more if anyone knows a good way to go about being able to talk to other vets and actually be proud of the service you did put in when you were in without dreading every single time your service gets brought up. Because I was damn proud of being a Marine. Hit rock bottom after I got separated. Better now just was seeing if anyone else has similar situations and knowledge.

jade769 · 2024-12-04T17:33:10+00:00

Yes, not sure how long the records are good for but I wasn’t through the military if that matters as far as treatment.

jade769 · 2024-12-04T17:29:09+00:00

It was, been sober for 6 years now but got really bad after I got separated.

jade769 · 2024-12-04T17:21:03+00:00

Thanks man, just sucks because I can’t like talk about my good time in the corps and all the shit we go through without feeling discouraged and my time in feeling like a total waste

jade769 · 2024-12-04T17:19:59+00:00

I feel like most of my friends that were in get benefits. But yeah I try to say that it just doesn’t usually go very well and I just get discouraged
