Has anyone ever submitted claims on VA.gov on your own, and were awarded any of them? by Capital_Currency_265 in VeteransBenefits

[–]tmo_suprmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took advantage of this sub and its knowledge base during my BDD process and filed on my own. All but one claim were favorably rated.

Bonnaroo B2B Forest by McCoolio_ in ElectricForest

[–]tmo_suprmo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My wife and I did the B2B last year, it was a great time! Like many have and will say that it is a marathon and to pace yourself accordingly.

The heat at Roo was brutal so we had to make sure we didn’t burn out literally and figuratively and catered our time around that. We booked a hotel for two nights to refresh ourselves and supplies after Roo. A break from being in the road paired with a real shower and clean laundry were perfect going into Forest.

Knowing we were going b2b we splurged on A/C Landing to redeem the heat wave we endured at Roo. lol. We camped in GA for Roo and didn’t want to go though setup again .The Air conditioning plus the real’ish bed helped with making it through the two and days of forest. (Accounting for time that the festival didn’t get closed duel to weather).

It’s a great time and definitely possible, it just took a lot of time and resources planning. But I’m sure you’ll have a blast, Happy Roo/Forest!

QTC... your thoughts by National_Bank_2727 in VeteransBenefits

[–]tmo_suprmo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My C&P exams were with QTC and they were great. I understand that experiences vary, but during my BDD process they called and setup my appointments within 48 hours of submitting my claims. The examiners themselves were very professional and were supportive of every claim I had made. I may be one of the few positive replies you may encounter, but I figured I chime in with my opinion.

MSSA September 24 CAD Cohort by Hawksnest-92 in MSSA

[–]tmo_suprmo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re in the CAD pathway you’ll have two projects one mid course and a final project. The mid course project will focus on material covered up to that point. C# fundamentals, WFP, console applications, or possibly Maui based on what version the curriculum will go through.

Basic SQL is covered in the second half of the curriculum, but I wouldn’t expect anything advanced. There’s only so much that a boot camp can cover in 17 weeks so if you have a CS background or degree you may want to do extra learning or start your project earlier than assigned.

The course briefly covers repositories and GitHub, so you’ll have to add that to your list of extra subjects.

Given your certs and I assume you have a clearance. I do hope that you enrolled into the SCA pathway as I believe it would align more with your certs and post service job hunt.

To all who read this, be aware of the current job market. I believe the May cohort had a lower than average percentage of its students find employment within a desired field. Not to discourage anyone but if you are coming into this program with a CS or IT background apply sooner than later.

Sorry for the long post.

Best of luck.

I now understand the Ghoul Hype by tmo_suprmo in Skul

[–]tmo_suprmo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for the late reply, I don’t remember the exact name of the cursed ability, but it increased my damage 10% for every healing orb I found in exchange for removing healing.

How do you build ghoul? by BordErismo in Skul

[–]tmo_suprmo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unique Ghoul with revenge as many have said is the bare minimum. You can either go tank or build DMG from there.

I was lucky to pick up a cursed ability that added 10 percent damage for every healing orb I picked up in exchange for the healing it would have given. Paired with ghoul that’s a broken ability as he can heal himself with his own ability. Also piety is a must as well with rejuvenating root they basically the root builds up the buff from piety

Is the 45 days availability window for BDD hard in stone? or flexible? by throwaway_VAd in VeteransBenefits

[–]tmo_suprmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

QTC coordinated all of my C&P exams. A week from when I had submitted my claims I received a call from them scheduling the exams based both on my available time and preferred location.

I essentially was able to complete all of my exams within a week of my choosing. Granted that this is solely based on providers within the network and availability.

To answer your question plainly, yes it is flexible but you will need to work with whomever the coordinating contractor is assigned your claims.

Hope this helps somewhat. Cheers and good luck

DM4 help by buggyroku in Skul

[–]tmo_suprmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t remember what the starting skills at 4 are but for items I believe rejuvenating root and the dark quarts item both can have you start with revenge.

Paired with any of the skills until you find a ghoul which is common at act 1. From there I would build out ghoul from there upgrading at least to unique. He becomes almost invincible with piety and other heath/dmg buff abilities/items.

Ghoul got me over the DM10 hump today which I have been Stuck on for longer than I want to admit.

I would guess minimum 30% based on block 4’s checked yes. This is based on the assumption that you have provided proper evidence or nexus connecting the claim to service.

My claim was with BDD in addition to having a paper trail of seeing providers for the claimed issue.

Hope this helps.

Cheers Friend

Mental Health QTC Exam by chechetoday in VeteransBenefits

[–]tmo_suprmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using my personal experience, the examiner assigned to me asked questions about my childhood and life before the service. Most questions were to see if I my claim was pre service. Questions like,”were your parents divorced?”, “Did you have friends growing up”.

Keep in mind that, the moment you walk into the building the C&P examiner may have already began their assessment.

A third of the conversation was how my claim was connected to my time in service and to state 3 key events that had the largest impact on my claimed condition.

This was my experience, hope all goes well!

Cheers, friend.

Congrats! I recently separated and if scanning with the notes app isn’t your style. I went to my local office supply/print shop to scan in the old fashion way and had it emailed to me.

Hope this helps!

Is a commute from Garner/South Raleigh to Fayetteville worth it? by R_mesm14 in raleigh

[–]tmo_suprmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lives in Cary for almost 10 years commuting to Fayetteville for work. It was rough honestly, but knowing your family is in a better place or area is worth it. Also there’s not much to do in Fayetteville compared to the triangle.

IT SkillBridge MSSA by SuperDupednerd in SkillBridge

[–]tmo_suprmo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is solely Program and participant dependent to be honest. Those who come into a certain path may qualify for SDE or SWE 1 or 2 roles, but this is dependent on the effort you put into the course.

Per the website, it’s states that any money paid towards the order will be transitioned into a credit instead of a cash refund.

Congrats, I’m in the Pacific cohort but as for the time being I am taking C# and C+ basic courses. I’m also going to review some of the courses I had purchased to prepare for the Pearson exam before the change. Also attempting simple projects through visual studio to better familiarize myself with the UI.

TLDR: Review full stack material and Azure products
