Just claim the military fucked up your knees/back. Spoiler: they're fucked. A pog buddy of mine is collecting 90% disability for that shit, and all you have to do is not have any pride or self-worth.
Gotta be careful with how much you misrepresent and malinger. VA is actively reviewing all cases for malingering, etc. The best part of govt shutdowns is the people tasked for reducing disabilities not T&P is that they don’t review claims
>how the fuck do I get this as an young, healthy comm guy
I split my knee open on vacation while I was in the military and got 10% for limited flexion (before the exam I did hundreds of one-leg leg presses and leg curls)
Then 10% for high blood pressure (before the exam I took anavar/tren for a week without any BP meds and held my breath when they were taking my BP)
Sleep apnea is potentially 100% I think, but I couldn't fail the overnight test. My wife is getting $10k for legit stuff and then another $5k for less-legit stuff that I filled out claims for. $20k/yr tax free on top of my $125k/yr is a nice chunk of change to have.
Start going to doctors appointments while you're still in to build up a case for ailments you can claim

I'm fighting the VA right now. Got out in 2015 with 30%. Applied for increase last July, got approved for shoulder (another 10%) and denied on everything else in November. Now its May and I'm still collecting evidence for appeal (fucking doctors slow as shit).
My advice is document everything while you are in. I didn't, and when I had my exit physical I downplayed the issues I had because I knew dudes in way worse shape and didn't think I deserved anything like what they got.
Now everything that was a mild problem seven years ago is a materially worse problem. But since its not really in my records the VA says "not service-connected", so its a tooth-and-nail sort of fight.
And my other piece of advice is: Don't lie—to them about how bad something is or to yourself about how not bad something is.
I think he means before your discharge make sure you are seen for any and all medical issues so it's on your tricare record. That's what they'll review when doing a disability claim
I think he means before your discharge make sure you are seen for any and all medical issues so it's on your tricare record. That's what they'll review when doing a disability claim
said. And don't wait to the last minute. If something is wrong, get seen for it. Strains, sprains, etc. Get it documented with medical. Even if it doesn't seem like a big issue now, it may turn into one later.
And once you get out, if issues crop up. Go to the VA and get it on your records with them. Even if you are getting real care from private doctors, still see the VA.
Just as an example, when I put in my new claim, they set up an appointment for my shoulder the same day, because it was already in my records and I already had some disability because of it. The other issues, that were not in my record, they never set an appointment. They were dismissed out of hand. I could have maybe gotten an appointment to get evaluated if I had records about those conditions from outside doctors, but I didn't at the time, and good chance it would have been denied as not service-connected anyways.
Now I've been working for months to get supporting evidence (letters from people who know me, letters from doctors, diagnoses, etc) for my appeal. And had to hire a lawyer to help with the whole process. Once we actually start the appeal, it will be another half a year or more probably before VA makes a decision. Better to avoid this fucking headache if you can.
Fuck if I know. I tried claiming everything like people advise, a few of which were genuinely chronic issues that are service connected, but VA still denied everything.
Start by not telling anyone you are a young health guy, start bitching and complaining all the time. Make friends at your unit who will vouch for you when you apply for VA disability. Apply for literally everything; allergies, insomnia, erectile dysfunction, depression, etc..When you get rejected the first time, appeal with nexus letters and buddy statements. If you're approved, don't tell anyone and always remember "Everyone has a disability, they just don't know it yet".
Administration of apartment buildings full time right now, family business so I gotta learn to take over at some point. Boring office work most of the time, but it's easy and involves walking/minor repairs and shit from time to time. I also almost pepper sprayed a homeless person squatting in the attic so it's interesting sometimes.
Before that I was a firearms instructor full time, still do it occasionaly with the few clients i have left. Teaching people how2gun, helping them get permits, etc.
Nah, we don't rent shit. We are in charge of making sure shared stuff like water/gas installations work or keeping the yard clean, among other things. Not doing these things ourselves, we employ people to do them. We on the other hand are employed by an association of all the homeowners in the building, represented by a board.
Very based, how2 firearm instructor? Is there certification? Obviously knowing state/local laws but what was the process? Going to a range and just teaching fundamentals?
Not from US, I'm from Poland. It doesn't really require a lot of certs, just one that allows me to be in charge of safety on the shooting range. Plus the license to own firearms, obviously. >Going to a range and just teaching fundamentals?
Basically, yeah. I used to work shifts on the shooting range, kinda like fitness instructors in the gym. A lot of people come to shoot rentals for the first time. Learned a lot and met a lot of people that wanted to get their own licenses.
I work as a janitor for one of the towns public library. 42 years old, never finished college or had a gf. My shift starts at 9pm and I work through to 5am cleaning the restrooms and listening to Daft Punk on my headphones. I got an inheritance of $300,000 when my mum died and I don't use it. I get paid $500 a week to clean toilets and no one knows any the better.

This life is so simple and comfy
AI will never be able to do that unless they also have the ability to decide they deserve the same rights humans do. Software development isn't straight forward
Software developer, get paid way too much for what I do. Work from Home, so I spend maybe half the day actually doing job things, the other half pursuing hobbies.
I like to do curls and presses while on mute in meetings with people who make me seethe with their stupidity.
The throughput and quality thing always amuses me - Its really eye opening to see how little of absolutely anything most desk workers do. The Network team and hardware teams are always balls to the wall genuinely working, but then you look at half the 'working' business and they're just fucking around. I spend an hour actually working and pop some new feature into testing the same day it was asked for, and people think you're some sorta god. Its just a button and some math guys, it wasn't hard.
I can't wait until AI btfos people like you
lmao good luck with that, I've seen AI code and its a shitshow. Needs someone with two braincells at the helm to actually fix the shit anyway. Its nice to help get some boilerplate or document templates up though, been using that already in the dayjob.
>people who make me seethe with their stupidity
I'm probably on the other end. Im not a complete novice but I know enough to realize that I'm out of my depth when I get put on the spot for a lot of questions.
>because you have an easy job and are likely massively over paid ???
There are a lot of ambitious and intelligent people that wind up in software engineering, despite having massive potential to serve humanity by studying philosophy or getting involved in hard sciences. They get stuck with the golden handcuffs and probably get really depressed about how boring it is, because programming is best for midwits like myself.
tbh senpai, I would if I could. Dont care about what you are importing and exporting, but the problem is that I am liable, and I get a call from the goverment and I have to pay a fine if I fuck something up.
Sorry anon
I actually work a bunch of jobs. I’m 19 and just got out of high school so I’m tryna moneymaxx. Monday and Tuesday I do window cleaning at shopping centres at night and mow lawns throughout the day. There’s no set hours for those jobs so I can take it at my own pace. Then Wednesday Thursday and Friday I do Search Engine Optimisation at a marketing company which is just a standard 9-5. It’s good so far because I’m learning a lot of skills and mix it up.
I used to be a security guard, but I quit. I remember thinking how sad it was that I was surrounded by people who thought getting paid to sit and do nothing is the best job ever.
>What have you learned?
For me I'd be trying to become an officer so could either be a Deck officer, Engineering officer or Electro-technical officer (i.e electrician). 3 years training at one of the UK's nautical colleges, sponsored either by a company, charitable organisation or training company. Full board paid for + a monthly stipend while learning. I'd probably try to become a deck officer, ultimately becoming responsible for navigation, charting courses, planning loading/unloading etc.
Training is a mixture of classroom and stints at sea (can be several months at a time). Types of vessels you can be on are very varied as it's basically any merchant vessel so it could be ferries, cruise ships, survey vessels, cargo ships, bulk carriers etc. After graduating I'd be at the bottom of the ladder so would be doing shit like chipping and painting (I assume) then over time gain more responsibilities.
You can be away for months at a time with no days off, travelling across the globe to far-off ports. It's my understanding that there's not a whole lot of time to explore the foreign places though as loading/unloading is very efficient these days so it's a quick turnaround. Also the pay is tax-free if you spend more than X days at sea in foreign waters and you get a lot of time off (something like 23 days leave for each month worked).
I easily have the grades to get accepted but I think I'll fail the mandatory medical exam as I have previously tried to commit suicide and I'm currently on a waiting-list for NHS psychotherapy. Reckon if I tell them either of these things (if they can't already see them by virtue of access to my NHS records) I'll be stamped as a loon and forever denied access to the sea.
As your reward: officercadet.com hosts a list of doctors who do medicals without looking up your med history. Best bet would be to get the medical done BEFORE you apply
IT consultant
My whole industry switched to 100% wfh, so I work about 3-4h per day. The other half of my workday, I write a novel or wank. In four years my home is paid off, maybe I switch to be an author full time, depending on how well the stuff sells.
Managing subcontracts for a defense contractor >$125k/yr >wfh when I want, go into the office if I need to work away from the baby >no one knows what I do except for my coworker who is burnt out and retiring soon >great pay at Lockheed/Northrop if I don't get a major pay raise within the next 2 years and need to look for the same job at a different company (I just really don't want to undergo a top secret background check) >4hrs-ish of work a day on average, work when I want
I'm a management consultant and I think most office drones are idiots.
But my job unironically does kind of bother my conscience in that I feel completely unfulfilled. My father was an engineer. He can point to things I see every day and say "I helped make that." I can't do that except for the profits of large insurance firms and banks, which doesn't exactly make me proud as a person, and I make 200k. I often wish I could get the same kind of appreciation out of my work that my father did.
>just really don't want to undergo a top secret background check

not a spreadsheet monkey, but those accountants can make a ton of money.
you will start out as a literal slave for the first 3-4 years, but once you make manager the job becomes more bearable. you'll still work 80 hour weeks during the busy season.
managers make 140-200k and directors make 250k+ so it might be worth it in the long run, if you kiss enough scrotum to make partner one day (15 years in maybe) you'll be clearing over $1M

I'm a business intelligence engineer for a health insurance company, it's a comfy job. My boss is chill and it's 100% remote so I spend most of my working hours playing vidya, liftan, jerking off, watching moobies, going out to eat, and sleeping. The little work I do involves writing SQL queries and all of our end users are internal so nothing has any real deadlines, I can work as quickly or slowly as I want.
It took me a while to get into a position like this so it feels good to reap the benefits.
I’m a CAD drafter. I construct crap people need. I know nothing about what I’m doing except I know how autocad works in 2D. I make €30k a month after taxes.
Fellow CAD man.
I draft fire alarm plans for construction permitting. > working in casino for 5 years > bored to death and hate it > friend from high-school texts me > 'Anon you know computers right?' > 'Not really but better than you probably, why?' > 'Have a new job, 20% pay increase and its WFH'
And thats how I became essentially a stay at home dad who faking my way through CAD to get shit done. I barely know NFPA 72 and feel like any day someone will call out my ruse. (Its been 4 years)
I've been an EE for 11 years now, with my PE as well (electronics, controls, communications), and part of my job entails consulting on topics involving NFPA 72, or 1221 as it now supersedes a lot of 72, as well as a lot of other subjects. I assure you, your four years of experience counts for a lot and you are now likely just as qualified as most other people in the industry.
They don't teach NEC/NFPA code in school. You 100% learn that on the job, so even some dude with a master's would have started out at the same level as you in terms of knowing code.
The only gotcha is that some jurisdictions require certain credentials to bid/submit documents for certain projects. If your company needs this though, they can just have your set reviewed and stamped by a PE for a nominal cost, or whatever the jurisdiction requires. (Usually PE, but some things like ERRCS in CA for instance requires GROL.)
You could, eventually, get an FE/PE, btw. It just takes experience, usually about double of what it is with a degree.
80k is honestly on the more frugal end for ERRCS or any kind of DAS for a larger-ish building. The client really shouldn't be complaining about that (although they will as no one ever budgets in ERRCS until someone points out they need it for code). Have fun dealing with architects that don't like how antennas look. 😉

Maintenance, wanna jump on the IT bandwagon. If I'm gonna deal with a shithead boss I might as well get payed more just for plugging in routers and shit.
Trust me. It's far from "plugging in routers and shit. I've been in industry for 15 years, worked my way from the ground up. Took me an entire year to get my CCNA. What you are describing is a Tech. That's about $15.00 an hour entry level role. Anything about that you will need Minimum 4 years computer science education or a certification. You will have to know networking in and out, the math behind it, all the concepts and new information, in addition a firm understanding of how software engineering works and you will need to know a scripting language. ALL OF THIS FOR AN ENTRY LEVEL IT POSITION. It's not "plugging in routers and shit" That isn't a thing and never was. Stay in maintenance, IT isn't your thing. Trust.
My hyperbole brought you out, working on net+ and later sec+ as I've read those are the ones to get. I do need to get a language down though and of course the math.

What is your unpoliticised opinion of soviet tech to western analogues of the era?
The whole hydraulic system on Mi-8 comes out and can be replaced as a single unit simplifying maintenance. Awaik UH-60 has all components layed out on the hydraulic deck seperatelly. Compressor blade tolerances are generally bigger on Mi-8s allowing for easier maintenance. The build quality on Mi-8 depends on yhe factory it was produced in-Kazan factory generally being better(fuselage construction wise) Some welds on helicopters from the other factory look like they where done by drunken mongoloids. In its class the Mi-8 in my opinion is unmatched, literally the AK of helicopters. Soviets however lacked lighter helicopters-here I would personally go with Bell 206s or Airbus AS350s.
Yes its seems big was the name of the game for them >drunken mongaloids
quite literally very likely lol
work on any others than the mi-8?

We have the Mi-26T(upper picrel) at our base, but it hasn't been used since it was flown here, management seems to have big future plans for it however. I'm not all that familiar with it. We had corrosion issues on wiring then we tried to start it, but those in reality could affect all aircraft if left standing outside for to long.
As with all more recent aircraft, newer helicopters somewhat suffer with "new aircraft syndrome"-production or design issues that eventualy get ironed out over time and are nearly extinguished on older types-breckets with fatique cracks forming in them, main gearbox attachment bolts getting lose, you name it...
I've worked with Airbus As350, Bell 206, AW109SP, Cabri G2, but none I know as intimatelly as Mi-8 at this point.

I think he means before your discharge make sure you are seen for any and all medical issues so it's on your tricare record. That's what they'll review when doing a disability claim
Yep, what
said. And don't wait to the last minute. If something is wrong, get seen for it. Strains, sprains, etc. Get it documented with medical. Even if it doesn't seem like a big issue now, it may turn into one later.

I could have maybe gotten an appointment to get evaluated if I had records about those conditions from outside doctors, but I didn't at the time, and good chance it would have been denied as not service-connected anyways.
Now I've been working for months to get supporting evidence (letters from people who know me, letters from doctors, diagnoses, etc) for my appeal. And had to hire a lawyer to help with the whole process. Once we actually start the appeal, it will be another half a year or more probably before VA makes a decision. Better to avoid this fucking headache if you can.
Fuck if I know. I tried claiming everything like people advise, a few of which were genuinely chronic issues that are service connected, but VA still denied everything.
Start by not telling anyone you are a young health guy, start bitching and complaining all the time. Make friends at your unit who will vouch for you when you apply for VA disability. Apply for literally everything; allergies, insomnia, erectile dysfunction, depression, etc..When you get rejected the first time, appeal with nexus letters and buddy statements. If you're approved, don't tell anyone and always remember "Everyone has a disability, they just don't know it yet".

Administration of apartment buildings full time right now, family business so I gotta learn to take over at some point. Boring office work most of the time, but it's easy and involves walking/minor repairs and shit from time to time. I also almost pepper sprayed a homeless person squatting in the attic so it's interesting sometimes.
Before that I was a firearms instructor full time, still do it occasionaly with the few clients i have left. Teaching people how2gun, helping them get permits, etc.
So, landlord?
Nah, we don't rent shit. We are in charge of making sure shared stuff like water/gas installations work or keeping the yard clean, among other things. Not doing these things ourselves, we employ people to do them. We on the other hand are employed by an association of all the homeowners in the building, represented by a board.
Very based, how2 firearm instructor? Is there certification? Obviously knowing state/local laws but what was the process? Going to a range and just teaching fundamentals?
Not from US, I'm from Poland. It doesn't really require a lot of certs, just one that allows me to be in charge of safety on the shooting range. Plus the license to own firearms, obviously.
>Going to a range and just teaching fundamentals?
Basically, yeah. I used to work shifts on the shooting range, kinda like fitness instructors in the gym. A lot of people come to shoot rentals for the first time. Learned a lot and met a lot of people that wanted to get their own licenses.

Most likely that will happen. And good, IT morons deserve the rope
All it will do is write the bulk of the code while I fix its mistakes, even more money for me then.

Software developer, get paid way too much for what I do. Work from Home, so I spend maybe half the day actually doing job things, the other half pursuing hobbies.
I like to do curls and presses while on mute in meetings with people who make me seethe with their stupidity.
The throughput and quality thing always amuses me - Its really eye opening to see how little of absolutely anything most desk workers do. The Network team and hardware teams are always balls to the wall genuinely working, but then you look at half the 'working' business and they're just fucking around. I spend an hour actually working and pop some new feature into testing the same day it was asked for, and people think you're some sorta god. Its just a button and some math guys, it wasn't hard.
lmao good luck with that, I've seen AI code and its a shitshow. Needs someone with two braincells at the helm to actually fix the shit anyway. Its nice to help get some boilerplate or document templates up though, been using that already in the dayjob.

There are a lot of ambitious and intelligent people that wind up in software engineering, despite having massive potential to serve humanity by studying philosophy or getting involved in hard sciences. They get stuck with the golden handcuffs and probably get really depressed about how boring it is, because programming is best for midwits like myself.

But I'm thinking of joining the merchant navy (UK).

>Done any research into it?
A little bit.
>What have you learned?
For me I'd be trying to become an officer so could either be a Deck officer, Engineering officer or Electro-technical officer (i.e electrician). 3 years training at one of the UK's nautical colleges, sponsored either by a company, charitable organisation or training company. Full board paid for + a monthly stipend while learning. I'd probably try to become a deck officer, ultimately becoming responsible for navigation, charting courses, planning loading/unloading etc.
Training is a mixture of classroom and stints at sea (can be several months at a time). Types of vessels you can be on are very varied as it's basically any merchant vessel so it could be ferries, cruise ships, survey vessels, cargo ships, bulk carriers etc. After graduating I'd be at the bottom of the ladder so would be doing shit like chipping and painting (I assume) then over time gain more responsibilities.
You can be away for months at a time with no days off, travelling across the globe to far-off ports. It's my understanding that there's not a whole lot of time to explore the foreign places though as loading/unloading is very efficient these days so it's a quick turnaround. Also the pay is tax-free if you spend more than X days at sea in foreign waters and you get a lot of time off (something like 23 days leave for each month worked).
I easily have the grades to get accepted but I think I'll fail the mandatory medical exam as I have previously tried to commit suicide and I'm currently on a waiting-list for NHS psychotherapy. Reckon if I tell them either of these things (if they can't already see them by virtue of access to my NHS records) I'll be stamped as a loon and forever denied access to the sea.
Cool, thanks anon.

Does it bother your conscience?
I'm not who you're replying to, I'm this guy:
But my job unironically does kind of bother my conscience in that I feel completely unfulfilled. My father was an engineer. He can point to things I see every day and say "I helped make that." I can't do that except for the profits of large insurance firms and banks, which doesn't exactly make me proud as a person, and I make 200k. I often wish I could get the same kind of appreciation out of my work that my father did.

not a spreadsheet monkey, but those accountants can make a ton of money.
you will start out as a literal slave for the first 3-4 years, but once you make manager the job becomes more bearable. you'll still work 80 hour weeks during the busy season.
managers make 140-200k and directors make 250k+ so it might be worth it in the long run, if you kiss enough scrotum to make partner one day (15 years in maybe) you'll be clearing over $1M

And thats how I became essentially a stay at home dad who faking my way through CAD to get shit done. I barely know NFPA 72 and feel like any day someone will call out my ruse. (Its been 4 years)
I've been an EE for 11 years now, with my PE as well (electronics, controls, communications), and part of my job entails consulting on topics involving NFPA 72, or 1221 as it now supersedes a lot of 72, as well as a lot of other subjects. I assure you, your four years of experience counts for a lot and you are now likely just as qualified as most other people in the industry.
They don't teach NEC/NFPA code in school. You 100% learn that on the job, so even some dude with a master's would have started out at the same level as you in terms of knowing code.
The only gotcha is that some jurisdictions require certain credentials to bid/submit documents for certain projects. If your company needs this though, they can just have your set reviewed and stamped by a PE for a nominal cost, or whatever the jurisdiction requires. (Usually PE, but some things like ERRCS in CA for instance requires GROL.)
You could, eventually, get an FE/PE, btw. It just takes experience, usually about double of what it is with a degree.
I'm bidding new system in apartment building in Los Angeles, and just found out about ERRCS. That's like an extra $80k at the client got damn
80k is honestly on the more frugal end for ERRCS or any kind of DAS for a larger-ish building. The client really shouldn't be complaining about that (although they will as no one ever budgets in ERRCS until someone points out they need it for code). Have fun dealing with architects that don't like how antennas look. 😉
What are your retirement plans?

Maintenance, wanna jump on the IT bandwagon. If I'm gonna deal with a shithead boss I might as well get payed more just for plugging in routers and shit.
Trust me. It's far from "plugging in routers and shit. I've been in industry for 15 years, worked my way from the ground up. Took me an entire year to get my CCNA. What you are describing is a Tech. That's about $15.00 an hour entry level role. Anything about that you will need Minimum 4 years computer science education or a certification. You will have to know networking in and out, the math behind it, all the concepts and new information, in addition a firm understanding of how software engineering works and you will need to know a scripting language. ALL OF THIS FOR AN ENTRY LEVEL IT POSITION. It's not "plugging in routers and shit" That isn't a thing and never was. Stay in maintenance, IT isn't your thing. Trust.

What is your unpoliticised opinion of soviet tech to western analogues of the era?
The whole hydraulic system on Mi-8 comes out and can be replaced as a single unit simplifying maintenance. Awaik UH-60 has all components layed out on the hydraulic deck seperatelly. Compressor blade tolerances are generally bigger on Mi-8s allowing for easier maintenance. The build quality on Mi-8 depends on yhe factory it was produced in-Kazan factory generally being better(fuselage construction wise) Some welds on helicopters from the other factory look like they where done by drunken mongoloids. In its class the Mi-8 in my opinion is unmatched, literally the AK of helicopters. Soviets however lacked lighter helicopters-here I would personally go with Bell 206s or Airbus AS350s.
Yes its seems big was the name of the game for them

We have the Mi-26T(upper picrel) at our base, but it hasn't been used since it was flown here, management seems to have big future plans for it however. I'm not all that familiar with it. We had corrosion issues on wiring then we tried to start it, but those in reality could affect all aircraft if left standing outside for to long.
As with all more recent aircraft, newer helicopters somewhat suffer with "new aircraft syndrome"-production or design issues that eventualy get ironed out over time and are nearly extinguished on older types-breckets with fatique cracks forming in them, main gearbox attachment bolts getting lose, you name it...
I've worked with Airbus As350, Bell 206, AW109SP, Cabri G2, but none I know as intimatelly as Mi-8 at this point.

A number of hunters here do animal control, coyotes and hogs, it's good money if you own your own operation. Akin to owner-operators with farms or fishing boats. It is owning a small business.
I'd much rather just farm for the rest of my days but the situation requires us to overthrow the government in glorious revolutionary war.
I’ll be working for my county as opposed to citizen owned. The benefits are too good where I’m at.

Not super fun but a couple of times a year I get to go on business trips in other countries to collect data in extreme climates which is pretty nice. Got to visit USA for 4000 mile trip through the rockies (high altitude/high temerature) last year, really enjoyed it.

Been an EMT for the last 2 years, have an interview in two weeks for an airport fire/rescue position. This is especially exciting for me since I'm almost done with my private pilot certification, and now I might have a career working around some big fucking aircraft. I want to eventually become a pilot, so hopefully I can get that job just for the networking benefits.
