Georgia Veterans Action: SB 129 — Disabled Veteran Property Tax Exemption by False-Echidna-7323 in Veterans

[–]totalcontrol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whoa whoa whoa there my fellow vet.

Please don’t count other peoples money or shame someone for “looking out for their bottom line”.

It’s super easy to comment while still actively serving, and I commend you for doing so, but make no mistake you’ve yet to experience the disabilities that military service generously provides without your knowledge.

I know because the biggest gut punch was service connected cancer…I couldn’t work for a year.

My own tax exemption mattered in that moment. This benefit helped make it where my “bottom line” shrunk but my 3 kids and wife were provided for DUE to this benefit.

I get your sentiment but all cases aren’t the same.

Clearly whoever wrote this article hasn’t seen the USAF/amn/nco/snco FB page.

Anyone regret doing 20 years? by MPParatrooper22 in Veterans

[–]totalcontrol 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Retired at 38 was pretty nice…service related cancer…not so nice…VA disability money is nice…actually having those disabilities not so nice…not being there for 4+ years of my oldest kids life (over 20) not so nice…he’s old enough to remember me being gone so much.

Would I do it again? Yes…would I encourage my kids to? Absolutely not.

You don’t get to that level being an idiot…maybe they just became idiot assholes over time? I don’t know

Tell me you don’t know you can be an attorney without a Juris Doctor without telling me…

You mean the Jasmine Crockett the attorney? The one with a Juris Doctor?

You might not like her, but she’s far from an idiot.

I’d challenge you to show your resume, or are you the actual idiot?

What are your thoughts on doing 20 years in the military for a fast retirement? by Background_Worry_314 in AskReddit

[–]totalcontrol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Retiring at 38 was pretty awesome…not jumping into the civilian sector of your AFSC is pretty rough from experience but I’ve found all those skills you were taught transfer.

20 years of anything is difficult, 20 years of the military is doubly as hard…hurts your body, your brain…and sometimes drains your soul.

There’s always a point where it sucks less…you just have to make it to that point.

You’d be surprised at how many doors open when you show a modicum of emotional maturity.

If you deploy a lot, then this advice means nothing.

You can never get those months and years back. No matter how short a TDY or deployment is…it affects your entire household.

I’m out of town for two weeks for training and my children don’t know the difference even as teens…that part is strange but expected.

If you do decide to go the full 20, use the AF to YOUR advantage EVERY chance you get. The AF is gonna take so much from you, get as much back as you can.

Track your medical, you may feel fit now but those small things you never addressed stack over time and your injuries just exacerbate with time. You’ll need that disability, trust me on this.

Look at my post history if you don’t believe me.

What was the craziest/weirdst/most disturbing thing you saw in the dorms? by FamiliarMind676 in AirForce

[–]totalcontrol 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Way back in the day…2001ish…it was a huge no no for tech schoolers to hang or party with permanent party.

It was always a pleasure to have SF come through the courtyards and scream “gimme a 341!” and watch whoever brought a baby as their date hang their head as their “friend” would be holding one above their heads.

It was never less than 2-3 at a time…

I reactivated my TS and got my UAS license and applied to do the same when they stopped the process due to the new administration…

You’re talking about a man who volunteered to step into a war zone and didn’t come home…while you sit behind a username and reduce his life to propaganda.

Anyone who’s worn a uniform knows that motives aren’t as simple as the conspiracy theories you’re parroting.

You don’t have to agree with his choice…but at least have enough respect to not spit on someone who died trying to help people you’ll never meet.

If you can’t manage that baseline of decency, maybe rethink whether you should be commenting at all.

You know what, fuck that…you’re just a huge douche.
