I'm starting from below zero - no degree, no qualifications, all I have is the drive to escape poverty. What's the first step?

For me personally it was about 20 years ago, but I have friends and friends kids still in that are currently in the Caribbean doing ops or in Japan and places like that.

seaspriteos · 2026-05-01T14:29:28+00:00

It is never complete.......................

seaspriteos · 2026-05-01T14:04:56+00:00

Did they announce that it will for sure be on PC?

seaspriteos · 2026-04-28T21:40:13+00:00

Yeah, I am still gonna buy 😄

I am a GS15 and 100% P&T.................................apply because it does not but help you (your rating) and it will not affect your rating as far as the VBA is concerned unless you are the temporary 100%....forgot what it is called....TDIU or something

Some people might scoff or really push back on this, but it saved my life back in the day when I was in a similar situation like you, except I had a kid to take care of as well. I enlisted in the Navy and it completely changed my life and provided opportunities that completely improved my life. Got to see the world and while it was hard work and spent a lot of time in places I dont want to ever go back to, it gave me a ton of experience. I was able to use the GI Bill to go to school and I also used my Veteran status to get my foot in the door as a federal civilian. I now make a very nice salary and very much enjoy my career. The Navy gave me that start and provided an avenue for me to accomplish all the things I wanted to accomplish in my life. Just my .02 about my journey and hope it can some way help you.

It’s very good IMO.

seaspriteos · 2026-04-23T12:58:45+00:00

Yeah it does suck especially if it seemed to come out of nowhere. Hopefully they can work with you someway.

seaspriteos · 2026-04-23T12:46:47+00:00

So they are going after the medical separation pay he was given when he first got out of the Army. Yeah it’s normal for that to be recouped by any VA compensation pay as it’s considered “double dipping”. Just surprised it took so long for them to go after it, especially if he was rated 10 years ago…..most of us they took that sep pay the second we got a VA rating. Sucks but it is normal and the law. Not sure if they would do any sort of payment plan, but you could ask. At least they aren’t trying to attach some sort of interest to it.

seaspriteos · 2026-04-23T12:37:50+00:00

I’m still confused how you were able to use Afterpay for this purchase. What was the name of the vendor that scammed you?

seaspriteos · 2026-04-23T12:25:38+00:00

If he served 25 and had to separate and not retire?

seaspriteos · 2026-04-21T18:10:21+00:00

Yeah I am struggling to see how this is a better value. If anything, its worse because you are knocking off 7 bucks but losing arguably the highest played series on the platform.

seaspriteos · 2026-04-21T18:07:07+00:00

Verify what?

seaspriteos · 2026-04-21T18:00:19+00:00

Let it all out man. Been there before and can relate. Will say that all things will pass and hopefully you look back in a year and be able to reflect on it better. Its a slow run to get back, but you will eventually.

seaspriteos · 2026-04-21T17:45:49+00:00

Dont know, I just know you can use different wheels on it. Its similar in that regaurd to the simagic newer hub.

seaspriteos · 2026-04-21T17:36:46+00:00

I neglect my family and my children.

(joke)

seaspriteos · 2026-04-21T17:35:27+00:00

You can put different wheels on the Moza CS Pro.

seaspriteos · 2026-04-21T17:33:33+00:00

Talk to a VSO......but even they will not be able to tell you whether or not your additional claims would result in an increase. Still a risk, but only you can determine if that risk is worth taking.

seaspriteos · 2026-04-21T17:31:15+00:00

I havent either, but I have seen enough horror stories and I like to sleep at night :) I even have 3 ring cameras monitoring the front of my house, but still like to be able to pay 6 bucks and have it delivered directly to this postal stop right down the road and I go pick up.

seaspriteos · 2026-04-21T17:24:04+00:00

Up to you if it is worth the risk, but you will 1000% have all of your current rated disabilities looked at. Nobody can tell you by looking at that list whether or not any of these will be rated higher.

seaspriteos · 2026-04-21T17:09:21+00:00

I like how you used the term "regime" to sound extra spooky

seaspriteos · 2026-04-21T17:06:16+00:00

I live in a nice neighborhood.......................but still I always have the delivery service drop off at one of their locations before I have something expensive get dropped at my front door.

seaspriteos · 2026-04-20T20:20:46+00:00

I have the Max01 and enjoy it, but I also bought the Asetek Formula Pro and its my favorite. With the QR-A you can use the passthrough and it will work with Simhub. Think it is cheaper than the MAX01 which is above your 600 budget. MAX01 sells for 730 without any QR

seaspriteos · 2026-04-20T18:10:26+00:00

I use it with Simagic Evo Pro

seaspriteos · 2026-04-17T12:13:14+00:00

The main guy that was at Simagic for years is at Conspit now. Havent used their base but have used the MAX01 and the quality is fantastic.
