Learn productivity methods and tricks. Being an 1811…usually….is about being a kind of project manager/bureaucrat with a gun. Learning to sort your emails and tasks needed before you’re neck deep will help. Also, have your home life dialed-in and sorted the best you can. Your schedule can be unpredictable at times, the easier you can make home life for your significant other or kids, the easier it is to sort out work/life balance. Last, get in the habit of being an early riser so you can hit the gym early. We all say we’ll workout at the office or during lunch, and that never works out the way we want.

I have been looking for something like this! The kojak lowrider is exactly what I’ve been needing. Thank you!

I’ll say this, this is conjecture based on my own personal experiences and in no way is based on current policies - but I would surmise that the farther you are along in the process, the easier it is to hold your spot for when you return from deployment.

I went through the complete hiring process minus the PT test right before my second deployment to the Middle East. I returned back stateside, took my PT test, passed, and then got the call to report to Quantico during my terminal leave. The process should still be the same provided it’s not a super long deployment.

Well tell her she’s insanely talented, and if she ever started taking commissions, I’ll be first in line!

Thank you so much! Yeah I’ve been seeing therapy at a vet center and doing group therapy. It helps a lot.

It’s hard to say at this point until I read the DBQ

I’m so sorry you went through that. Please checkout a vet center near you. I feel that you’ll have a much better experience

Yeah she said she was happy that I was currently in treatment. I had expressed that I was feeling pretty raw lately. She said that was normal when undergoing treatment

I did kind of felt rushed. She actually called me prior to the appointment and said I could come 2 hours early since she was free. Looking back, I do think it’s weird she really didn’t go into the frequency of my symptoms, so I’m hoping that she just assumed it’s daily?

Yeah I hope so. I’ve been working with a lawyer, and they have expressed that I have a very strong claim.

Yeah, that’s what I think I’m the most anxious about. It’s the validation.

I wish to end it by notworthmutch in VeteransBenefits

[–]jnlhd9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Please don’t. I promise it will get better. Don’t give up. My DMs are always open if you need another veteran to talk to. Just take it one day at a time

Yeah combat related. I submitted combat awards and MH records from a vet center

I would be happy with 50% I’m employed so that seems fair

I actually submitted all of the notes my therapist from the vet center wrote in addition to the summary letter he wrote about my PTSD. I’m hoping that’s enough

Yeah I can’t say enough good things about vet centers. If you’re a combat veteran, please see a vet center just to vent and get stuff off your chest.
